My Homunculus Is Malfunctioning

I could feel it, shifting around in my chest, as I waited for the on-call doctor to respond. The doctor’s badge indicated that he didn’t have one, so I didn’t think he would understand, but as I began to speak, to describe what had been happening to me over the past few weeks, his questions and observations revealed that he understood quite well. And he came to this conclusion. 

My homunculus was malfunctioning.

The complex implant that tempers one man’s pathological emotions is exhibiting signs of “adverse reactions.”
