"I must get rid of all those that stand in the way of my research. Even that one from the Turks.
"I scientifically altered him, and put him to sleep in the basement. If you want to find him, then search the area.
"But this is merely a game I thought of. It is not necessary to participate if you don't want to."
Is it not familiar?
Private to Valentine // Unhackable.
It is in our failing that our true humanity arises.
You're a contradiction to me, Valentine. What do I make of you? You are, essentially, a disastrous specimen. You've emerged from your conditioning as nothing but a weak, mentally damaged, valueless husk of a test subject. But there is something in you that is powerful, destructive, chaotic, fascinating. Purity in the mud. A diamond in the rough, if you will.
Just when I begin to believe that if I broke you I would find nothing inside, you manage to surprise me.
And there is, of course, something endearing in your vulnerability. It's rare that I have the opportunity to be indulgent about such matters. Work is always the most important aspect, but that's why I have made you my constant project. We can't be divided, you and I, and I will refine you down until there is nothing left.
Barely a granite statuette, let alone a marble statue.
For all that, you are still a failure. And in your failure, there is the mark of a human thumbprint, my own signature, and my own error.
Why else would you disgust me so deeply as you do? A reminder of everything I have left behind, and of everything you have taken from me. Meteor. Lucrecia. Sephiroth, if my own memory notes are to be believed.
You ought to know how to disappear. To vanish with all the other failed chunks of meat in the freezer.
Nevertheless.
You depend on me, and that is advantageous if nothing else. Do you understand, Valentine? I have had the opportunity to throw you away before. The coffin, the little game, it was all quite unnecessary for the living corpse better buried in the backyard.
But I am nothing if not a pragmatist.
And there is something in you that will break for me, yet.

this, although they're both such total psychopaths right now that I don't think they're achieve any mutual level of communication at all. ♥ THAT'S JUST HOW THEY ROLL. ]

[ooc: Repliku-mun~. Is there any hope I'll be able to catch you on AIM whenever you're free? Just needed to discuss the extent of Hojo's activity with the poor guy, and if you wanted him released before I disappear for a week. :D]
