Let's check in with the crew.

Beth listened patiently as the doctor explained her new condition. She nodded along, still very groggy and disoriented. When he finished, she asked an obvious question.

"So I've touched you? I don't remember touching you."

He smiled again. "No, I don't suspect you do. You were in quite a state when Toby introduced us. You could barely stand or speak. Fortunately, I had a means to make sure you're happy without the unnecessary burden of intoxication. So I went back to my office, grabbed a few samples, and here we are."

"Won't you get in trouble?" she asked. He laughed.

"Of course I will! This is wildly unethical and breaks my NDA along with several laws. I did it for you, though. You know I'll do anything for you."

She thought for a moment. She didn't feel any guilt or remorse that this man had potentially destroyed his life to make her happy. She didn't feel resentment, either, or even unease.

"I'm... ok with that," Beth finally replied. "I think I'm ok with that? Yeah, that doesn't bother me. It feels like it should, but that feeling doesn't bother me either."

He put a hand on her shoulder. "I knew it wouldn't. Misgivings are unpleasant, so you'll never have them again. And with your gift, we can spread this kind of happiness to anyone we want."

"Did I tell you to be happy?"

He laughed again. "Not in so many words, but I have it on good authority that you want everyone to be happy. That is the case, is it not?" She nodded. "Good. Do you want to see your friends now?"

She agreed and Dr. Inman took her by the arm (she noticed her balance was still a little shaky) and led her out of the room.

The odor in the filthy living room was even stronger, but it still didn't bother her. James, Joseph, and Marcus were sitting on a ratty couch and grinning at her. Kat and Chloe- no, what was her name? Jen? Chloe and Jen were topless in the kitchen, talking to an unkempt man in a bathrobe. Beth gasped when she realized that they were still topless.

"See, a lot of guys tell me that- oh my God, Beth!" Kat stopped mid-sentence and rushed over to hug her friend. Her perky B-cups felt hot and soft. "Beth, how are you? Did it work?"

"I think so," Beth said with a grin. With that, Kat punched her hard on the left breast.

"Ow, what the fuck?" Beth demanded. "That was- oh, I get it. Wow, even pain feels good right now. I only reacted like that out of habit. This is so weird!"

"Now do me!" Kat was practically giddy with excitement. "Punch my tits!"

Beth looked to Dr. Inman. "Did you give them all the chemical too?"

"I didn't," he replied with a smile. "But you did something similar when you told them to be happy. In fact, when I explained what the **** is, we all surmised that this is ultimately what you want for us. It is, isn't it?"

Still reeling from the revelation, Beth took a second to answer. "...yeah. I do. You guys are great, I'd love if you felt like I did now."

"So punch my fucking tit!" Kat cried. In response, Beth reached out and pinched her nipple hard, eliciting a squeal. The trio on the couch burst into laughter, followed by Kat.

"Oh shit, that felt good!" the petite woman cried. "I expected it to not hurt or something but it actually felt good! This is amazing!"

Without warning, the unkempt man reached around Kat's waist and began to crudely paw at her tits. Kat looked down in shock. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Does it bother you?" he growled hoarsely.

Still watching his hands as they mashed her chest, Kat spoke slowly. "No. It doesn't at all. This is really weird. I feel like I'm missing something, like there's part of me that's supposed to be enraged and it's just gone."

Dr. Inman, meanwhile, had slapped the man's hands away. "Behave, Toby. You shouldn't take advantage of people."

Toby grinned. "Or what? I'm not gonna feel any guilt, and she doesn't care. Do you?"

Kat shook her head vigorously. "I kinda liked it, actually."

James spoke up. "So when does the orgy start?"
