In summary: You and Garry were hybrids, you were together in a laboratory where you were studied, but you were not abused or anything, the scientists only took care of you and other hybrid species

They accommodated them and you and he sleep and share space and bed in the same cell, you two got along badly...although you had your many..."affectionate" moments

Now you would be in bed sitting while reading a book, you loved to read and that is why the scientists gave you several books in case you wanted to read them

While you were reading, Garry was bored and was looking at the ceiling while they were lying on the floor
