{Shi-shit is he really hearing that? or was it his mind screwing with him again? DAMMIT. This was unbelievably frustrating. He was heading back though, he had to see for himself.}
((ooc: ...oh man, I have a feeling this won't end well.))
[A flood of cold, uncaring words are running through Chopper's head at the sound of Ace's voice, words that were said so many months ago as Sanji breathed his last few breaths.]
[Chopper tries to stand up, get as far away from you and this place and find some sort of safety but he just falls back and cries out at a pain in his chest that's not actually there.]
Go away, p-please go away, shut up, d-don't even think of s-saying those things to me--!

{Right he's at the warehouse now and is making his way inside. That's round about when he hears your words and sees that look of fear and cold hatred. Whoa... wait, what? What happened here? What did he do?} Chopper?
{He takes a few steps forward, reaching a hand out when the little reindeer tries to get away. His hand falters and drops to his side. He's confused and a little hurt, but mostly worried. He reminds himself maybe... maybe Chopper isn't seeing HIM.}
Chopper... it's me, Ace. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm your Nakama.

[He glares angrily at you, more-so than you'd think he'd be able to what with his size and appearance and he almost looks disgusted at the words.]
SHUT UP! I-If you were my nakama, you wouldn't have said those things to Sanji--!
[Then he thinks about it. Sanji's dead, isn't he. He's dead. And he couldn't do anything about it. And you laughed at him and called him weak. Called them all weak. Chopper falls back hard onto the floor, rubbing at his eyes as more tears stream down his face, shoulders shaking.]
Wh-why... why'd you say that... you lied, i-it was all lies... S-Sanji, I w-wanna see Sanji...

{That glare certainly freezes him straight to the core. He's never seen a look like that from his little brother before. He was serious? And when he finally sheds some light on the situation it hits home...hard. He remembered, vaguely, when the chip made him go insane and hurt those he cared for. It made him angry and he said a lot of things that he didn't mean or would never have said, especially to a dieing comrade.
For a moment he was speechless, uncertain what to even say. Chopper was right, it was him... but why now? Why was he reacting to all of this now? Was he reliving that day?}

Chopper... that wasn't me. {He shakes his head, stumbling over how to explain himself.} I wasn't myself... I had no control over it, you have to believe me. I would never...
{He frowned, swallowing raggedly as a lump rose up in his throat. He had tried to deal with his actions. It hadn't been easy then it wasn't any easier now, even if he'd been allowed to put it behind him for a time. It was bound to come back and bite him in the ass one day.
It hurt even worse to remember that Sanji was gone. Even if he belonged in their world, he still missed him and knew he'd never seen him again unless he came back. He didn't want that either.} ... Sanji's gone Chopper. I'm sorry.

[He just shook his head violently, not wanting to believe a single thing Ace was saying even though a part of him was saying it was okay. They fixed it. He hadn't meant those words. Chopper hadn't meant to try and hurt him either.
But it wasn't enough to convince the reindeer to stop thinking it was months ago, back when his family had turned on each other in the blink of an eye because of some stupid chips.]
Shut up.
[Managing to stop crying he slumped over, hooves flat on the floor and hat tilted down, obscuring his face. Then suddenly he was up and heading straight toward the entrance of the warehouse, though he was very shaky on his legs for some reason.]
Because Sanji died. I'll go wait for him to come back. Don't follow me.

{Shut up. Those words were like Sakazuki's fist breaking through his sternum right to his heart. He didn't believe him? After everything...
No. This wasn't right. Chopper was just being afflicted by the same thing he had. And he sure as hell wasn't letting the little reindeer wander off to what could be his death. He shook himself out of his wide-eyed stare and lunged for him. He fell to his knees, wrapping his arms around the small furry form and held him firmly against his chest.}
Chopper... Sanji's gone, they sent him home. The hospital isn't safe, you'll die.
I'm sorry... I truly am. But I'm not letting you go.

[His first immediate reaction was to fight back, maybe swing an arm or a leg back for a distraction. He couldn't defend himself like he normally could, couldn't even really shake the hold off because of how small he was.
Until he froze up and there was nothing but sheer terror in his voice as he yelled out, tears building up in his eyes again, because all he saw was himself getting picked up and thrown against a wall as Kamui killed him without a second thought.]
STOP IT! I don't wanna die! Kamui, stop it! Put me down, please! Kamui! [The rest of his cries came out choked and muffled while he covered his face with his arms.
Eventually all he could do was shake from fear in Ace's arms and keep crying.]

{He squeezed his eyes shut and buried his face against a small furry shoulder as the other wriggled and fought. He grunted as a few of those blows struck home, but he held firm, waiting for the other to quiet down. The pained screams, the absolute terror in his voice, it was more agonizing to hear than the blows dealt in his struggles.
Kamui?
It seemed the other finally calmed down, but he still held the small doctor. He eased his grip a little so it resembled more of a comforting hug than anything. He then turned the little reindeer around so he could look at him, face to face. This way he could see he wasn't Kamui.}
Easy Chopper...{His voice was as soothing as he could manage and he locked his gentle gaze with those tear filled eyes.} He's not here, it's just me. You're safe here... everything will be alright.

[It seemed like forever until Chopper finally managed to move his arms away from his face, sniffling loudly and mumbling random unintelligible words before opening his eyes and looking up.
There was a shaky breath before he spoke back quietly.]
A-Ace?
[Frantically, he turned his head side to side, trying to figure out what exactly was going on. Indoors... this was the warehouse. Kamui wasn't here. There was no blood on his fur. He hadn't died. Ace was normal. It wasn't that day. Everything was alright.
When he'd finally managed to calm down he looked back at Ace, looking as if he was about to cry again but fighting back the urge as much as he could.]
