I imagine living that long would make you act oddly, yeah... I don't know that I'd want to be immortality just for that reason. Eventually everyone you knew would die and you'd lose touch with everything. I just don't see it ending well unless everyone gets it, and that's a whole different can of worms. Hm.
At that point the reader snorted. Then had to clean the screen. Allergies and laughter can be a dangerous combination.
Kaminski - who I usually refer to as "Zoltan" in comments, but I'm balancing Lola - is (wilfully) overlooking the obvious fact that Stan has a working procedure. Just dismissing someone who has just been shown to be at least 130 (after all, Stan has to grow up and do experiments before getting caught) as "long lived..." He's a smart guy, but basically has no curiosity outside the parameters of his job. "Case closed." Good enough.
Ah, the anti-aging procedure is finally fading? Ok, took a lot longer than anticipated, but, yeah, Immortality wouldn't even be "one and done."
Ha, sorry about that. Always fun writing Lola. Nice to have her living her best life, at least for a time.
Interesting observation about Kaminski's attitude here. Although he's a principled person, he's also massively disillusioned about the world(s). He sees Stan and his clients and sees people with wealth and power, and he's inherently disinterested in that. He does have enough of an inquisitive nature to have looked into Callihan's death in the first place - but, as you note, he has probably filed that under being a 'case'.

I'd hate to be Stan's lawyer, though.
Loving it.
Thanks for reading.
"Yeah, he still gets the surname."

Extradited to Max-Earth? Interesting...

Another thing about Kaminski is he's got things going on outside work with his parents - and Nisha.
