Rick knew that she had some issues. What he didn't know was how deep they went. Ones of Rick's faults is that he trusts others and wants to help. This blinded him to the real problem that he was about to face. A problem that no one could imagine...except Monica. Rick was not prepared for the roller coaster ride of his life. A ride that would last eight months with the line between reality and fiction being crossed over so many times, it had Rick questioning things he knew to be true. It was all very confusing until the day the serpent appeared. At that moment, it became clear what was going on and what needed to be done.
