Katharsis is the title song of Tokyo Ghoul Re: 2

Haha I've never heard of Tokyo Ghoul but I'll have to look that up. I took it originally from Aristotle, who in De Poetica coined the term and said that the goal of drama should be to arouse pity and fear in the spectator before "affecting a katharsis of those emotions." He heavily implied that "katharsis" resulted from an intellectual clarification-- essentially a tragedy must teach us something or show us something meaningful in order to cleanse us of the same pity and fear it has instilled in us.
The drug in the book does the opposite of that. It is prescribed to patients with anxiety disorders as a way of eliminating the anxiety neurologically. Whatever the patient thinks about while on the drug (whatever neuronal webs they activate most often), is gradually unencoded and forgotten due to the chemical effect of the drug. So, rather than confront the "pity and fear" and work through it intellectually, Katharax offers patients a way of simply removing it from their heads. There is, however, a recreational culture around it, in much the same way that Xanax has become popular in the college party culture. The normal effect of Katharax is to simply blackout and fall asleep shortly thereafter, but if combined with uppers it can lead instead to a euphoric waking-dream state. Needless to say, the drug will factor more and more into the plot, and it will not be all peaches and cream for the people that get hooked on it.

Maybe one day you will edit and compile it into a book

That's the plan! It'll be book length on here-- but after I'm done I'll trim some things, add some things, rewrite some things, rearrange some things, and then when I'm happy with it I'll see about trying to get it published. I don't think I'll ever be totally, completely satisfied until I can hold a physical copy in my hand.
