It's Luke, not Sid, who injects Grace with the cure. Once Jim relinquishes Sid's symptoms back to her she's bedridden, writhing in her own agony, and there she stays until her mind starts to become hers again. Luke, who has gone far, far above and beyond the call of any friend or mentor or doctor in keeping Sid and Grace here, in keeping an eye on them, administering aid when it's needed. For Sid this has gone a long way in her trusting people a little more again.
Not completely, though, not at all. Because all people have in them the capacity to turn and to harm.
-------------------------------------
Later, when they're both able to sit up a little again, Grace suggests that these are those Transhumanists someone ran into before. Sid offers her a weak smile. Grace must have missed that update to Ginger, and then other things - like creating this cure - took precedence for Sid.
She's not going to meet Callum with anything approaching blind trust. But Grace only got his phone number, not the location of his compound in the mountains, a place Sid suspects their friends are. A place that is surprisingly difficult for their more magically adept friends to find on their own. She'll take precautions before going to meet him wherever she meets him. Talk with Luke about things she might be able to do with her Life magic that will be to her advantage (other than the few rotes she's already learned and been practicing on her own).
And she makes other preparations, or will. When the time comes, Sid will be more than prepared.
