Shinji had... well, he couldn't quite remember what he had done. But, now there was this thing around his neck, reminding him of a plugsuit. Of NERV. He d-didn't want to go back there, not to Headquarters or Central Dogma or Tokyo-3. But, here, he was trapped and crowded, people invaded his space, there was nowhere to sleep.
There were no batteries, here.
And, this collar-like attachment wrapped around his neck had a cord. He tried to touch it: his fingers passed through. Rubbed his eyes, tentatively tried again.
Sasori heard the footsteps before he saw the boy who made them. That the collar around his neck was connected to his own invited a further scowl and more frustration on the part of the puppeteer. He would not kill the boy--not yet, anyway--but he was prepared to if needed (or if his temper didn't hold).
"What is this?" Sasori demanded, gesturing to his collar and not bothering to hide his anger.
Sasori's eyes were narrowed as he studied the boy. He seemed to be telling the truth; Sasori could almost feel his discomfort--or could he really? His eyes drifted to the cord for a moment.
It had to be the house. This damned house, keeping him locked in here and putting a collar of all things around his neck. He burned with rage, and again tried to use a kunai to cut through the collar.
It was no use. "This damned building," he snarled, half to himself.
The building...? What did the building have to do with anything? It had to have been a person who put these collars on them, didn't it? He half wondered why they connected, but...

But, it led somewhere, so he followed.

He flinched.
"...I... um, I don't know." Shinji mumbled a quiet reply, fingering his own collar. It was uncomfortable.
