Oh, the almost daily migraines were more than a pain in the ass, they were downright torture. Satoru was still trying to get used to using Limitless and Infinity at the same time, but more often than not his cursed energy would run out and the migraines would start.

It was like his brain was being squeezed dry, shrinking ever smaller. Sweets helped give him small energy boosts, but not nearly enough to sustain the constant use of Infinity. (That didn't discourage him from the large amounts he ate in a single day, though.)

It was agony, so Satoru would lament it to his girlfriend, Reze, constantly. He would get overly dramatic, but in reality the pain was intense pressure behind his eyes.

Cold compresses helped less and less, and he had probably already gone through bottles of migraine pills in just a month. Naps and the gentle caress of his beloved were great remedies.

"Hehe, I like that." His head still hurt a little, but it was a dull ache beneath Reze's kisses. He held Reze closer to his chest as he leaned back on the couch, laughing and swinging his feet as she kissed him all over his face.

"That tickles!" Satoru's hands roamed her sides, squeezing and caressing her. He continued to press her against him as if he were trying to melt her. "More!"
