You really have some weird dreams, don't you?

[riotous_blossom]

Heh. Y-yeah, I guess I do...

[forourfreedom]

[And now his voice becomes serious.]

... I'm figuring the last part didn't actually happen, but what about the first part?

[riotous_blossom]

...it kind of happened. I don't remember if it happened exactly like that.

It's kinda fuzzy.

[forourfreedom]

But there was a fight, right?

... You said you nearly died once. Was that it?

[riotous_blossom]

Yep. That was it.

[forourfreedom]

So you stood your ground even when you were afraid. That takes guts.

[riotous_blossom]

I had to. If I'd run away, he'd have killed Ken ... or tried to brainwash him. I mean, I knew Ryu would get there, so all I... I just had to buy some time.

[forourfreedom]

Honestly, the world needs more people like you.

[forourfreedom]

--Wait, brainwash?

[riotous_blossom]

Ahah... th-thanks, Jet...

And yeah, brainwash. You see the weird purple glow? He had this power, and he... he used it to make Ryu lose control, to brainwash him. He could have done it to Ken. I guess he could have done it to me, too.

[forourfreedom]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Did this "Ryu" ever manage to break free?

[riotous_blossom]

Of course he did. He's stronger than that.

He came to back us up just in time, too. Any later and ... well, you know.

[forourfreedom]

That's good to hear. I'm curious: How did he snap out of it?

... Though you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

[riotous_blossom]

I... don't actually know.

Sagat, one of his old rivals, went to fight him to hopefully help him snap out of it. They were doing that a little bit away from where we were ... all I remember is him showing up before I passed out. He never told me what happened.

Maybe he remembered something.

[forourfreedom]

Jogged his memory? That makes sense.

[... And now Jet really needs a topic change.]

So everything worked out in the end?
