The Hunger had to be contained.
If left unchecked, there was no telling the damage it could cause.
What could be destroyed, what could be lost. But likewise, it was easy to
overfeed it, which brought with it a whole other set of problems, technically
less worse, but in some ways messier.
A balancing act had to be struck, making sure it never rose
enough to destroy while never falling into the negative and ruining things.
She’d gotten the balance down to an art, making sure she always
had a fresh dip and chips ready if the game went long.
