[Privacy: wide, wide open. The only thing not visible is the few seconds showing the observing scientists, as that was not part of Allelujah's perspective at the time, and the little bit at the very end. Spoilers for season two, episode four, that being the episode this clip is from.]

What an intriguing dream. Would you mind telling me a bit more about it? ...From the looks of things, you must've had a difficult childhood.

I am in shock

[ofgratitude]

...I'm not sure what you could want to know. I was more fortunate than many.

lolz

[yougotgeassed]

[Ah, now we're even more intrigued than before... and slowly putting the pieces together, though we will use our charm to get the information from you to confirm our suspicions]

Were you an experiment of sorts? Seems terribly unfortunate for children to be put through something like that, and I can't imagine a government that would find human experimentation necessary by any means.

[ofgratitude]

[Secrecy has been such a foundational part of life for so long that even though the content of the dream makes lying impossible, it is difficult to be particularly open about it.]

Times of war often drive people to extreme actions.

[yougotgeassed]

[chuckles lightly] Believe me, I know what war does to people.

[ofgratitude]

It seems a number of those in Somarium come from conflicted worlds.

[yougotgeassed]

It's unfortunate. [He sighs, thinking back to the pathetic children he saw as the "lab rats" of the Geass consulate] I've dealt with a similar situation involving unnecessary experimentation and did what I could to do away with it. War or not, there's no justification in such reprehensible actions.

[ofgratitude]

...it is not a life I would wish to see another have as their own.

You speak as though you were in a position to take action again these sorts of things. [it's almost a query; the boy can't be older than Allelujah himself]

[yougotgeassed]

I've been intimately involved in the perils of war where I am from. [He smiles, leaving his answer at that and not venturing to go into any more detail]

[ofgratitude]

Somarium must be a change, then.

[yougotgeassed]

It is quite a change, but I'm not sure if it is a welcome one or not.

[ofgratitude]

Are there things you miss from your world?

[yougotgeassed]

I wouldn't say that there are things that I miss, so much as people that I yearn to see once again. What about yourself and your world?

[ofgratitude]

Thankfully a number of my comrades have also arrived here. I cannot claim to be lonely.

...I know what it is like to wait and worry, though.

[yougotgeassed]

I have a great deal of family present in Somarium, though the one member I long to see is still in Britannia. It is unsettling and I wonder every day how things are progressing without me there.
