The drug's effectiveness had been proven through animal research and clinical trials.

And yet,

without warning, it was announced that the research would be halted.

I was fired... and my thesis was wiped from existence.

After that, I was banned from all research labs. My means of finding new employment was cut off.

......And before I knew it, I was working part-time at a convenience store.

Haha...

Although the effects varied from person to person, further research was planned.
