9 years. 9 year those God forsaken tablets worked and as much as Freed hated them, he would do anything for them to start working again.

(Disclaimer: I am in no way saying being trans is bad, some of my best freinds are trans and I am so proud of how brave and amazing they are, I just thought this might be a good story element. I in no way meen to upset, distress or offend anyone and I offer my deepest apologies incase I do, that was not my intention and I am sorry)
