The pink paper tab is no bigger than a fingernail. One side is decorated with a simple illustration of a cockerel.
More specifically, it's an onagadori -- an ornamental rooster bred for its long tail.
Branch
Why an onagadori?
It may have something to do with the process. Onagadori have been painstakingly bred over centuries -- perfecting its specific features has become an obsession for many.
Let's not forget the obvious double entendre here.
Branch
What's the significance of the cockerel?
It's right there. In the word of the animal itself.

Take the anti-LASS treatment -- for real this time.
Branch
The tab starts moistening on your tongue. Once soft, you chew it until it becomes a tiny paper ball, and then swallow.
Blood... loose. Urges. Fuck!

End of this branch
Take the anti-LASS treatment yourself.
You place the tab on your tongue. It sticks and slowly starts to wet around the edges.
Remove it right now. You cannot lose your only hope of reviving your double.
This might be exactly what you need. Take the edge off the world, relax...
You have no idea what this treatment will do to you. It could cause harm as much as help.
Take the treatment. (Keep it in your mouth.)
Don't take it.
You remove the tab from your tongue and hold it in your hand once again.
Branch
Put the tab away.
