[After the awesome swimming trip that was totally awesome...]

Lloyd? Genis? ...Thank you so much for taking me with you to the lake. I hadn't had that much fun in months! ♥

[She pauses.]

But... I'm a little worried - I haven't heard anything from Vyse... or Yuan... or Richter.

...Are they... going to forget about us, too? Like I did?

Not generally. They'll just get brutalized.

[throwshammers]

B...brutalized...!?

[compos_mentis]

And bingo was his name-o.

[throwshammers]

That's... that's horrible! Why would they...?

[compos_mentis]

Because they can?

[throwshammers]

...Just because they can? No reason...?

[compos_mentis]

Does a reason do anything for it? Are you going to be able to accept your friend's leg broken or them hyped up on a cocktail of drugs if they give us a half-hearted "why" for it all?

[throwshammers]

N-no, of course not! There's never a good reason to hurt others... but if there's a way to understand them, maybe we can convince them not to keep doing it somehow...

[compos_mentis]

...Hah. That's wishful thinking.

[throwshammers]

It won't hurt to try!

[compos_mentis]

On the contrary, it very much could.

2/2

[compos_mentis]

[....Heh]

Private experimentation. Think about what the purpose of this place is, and go from there.

[throwshammers]

...Huh?

[compos_mentis]

People are taken to perform private, specific experiments.

[throwshammers]

...Oh... so that's how they're different from the ones that affect a bunch of people.
