just letting more water soak into the pill should make it let go of your lip.

That’s what I figured, but I didn’t realize it would be a problem til too late. Next time it’ll be like:

SCENE: a run-down house, Saturday night. Sergio is standing at a kitchen counter, his face in a bowl of water. Housemate enters scene, pauses, looks concerned.

HOUSEMATE: Sergio? Are you… feeling sad again?

(Sergio pulls face out of water, gasps for air, two pills stuck to lip)

SERGIO: It’s a long story! I’ll tell you later!

(Sergio dunks face back into bowl)
