[Infinite pain.]

[tsunologydept]

[Miyoko really didn't get how people worked, a lot of the time. They weren't logical, or neat. He could take apart their organs, try and put them back together, tell you every artery that pumped blood from their heart, and still fail to make the smallest talk without hurting them

[Sei knows where he lives, not where he works. So he's waiting.

FALCON KEEEECK!]

[tsunologydept]

[Skids back from the blow, pulling a syringe from his lab coat pocket.]

Calm down!

[kietai_kienai]

[...That was a bad move. Kalahiki appears, and a bufu is aimed directly at the syringe.]

I'm going to tell you precisely what's going to happen, Doctor.

You are going to tell me what happened to them. You are going to not draw another fucking syringe on me. And you are going to stay away from them from now on, do you hear me?

[tsuncience]

[I try and help someone, and they turn out to be a psychotic persona user. Why is this my life?

Reflexively dropping the syringe at the bufu.]

We are not discussing this here!

[kietai_kienai]

Then name a place and time. We will discuss it. It's bad enough Saburo's so fucked up, but for Yui to be involved? [Kalahiki circles, baring quite a lot of teeth.]

...Your little sister would be sad if you died, right? You should thank her for caring. It's why I won't kill you.

[tsuncience]

[Stands very still.]

Fine! Let's go to the flood plains. No one will be there at this hour.

[kietai_kienai]

[He snorts, and Kalahiki vanishes.] Alright then. Don't fall behind, squirt.

[Let's timeskipping to floodplains?]

[tsunologydept]

[Resisting the urge to nervously pace, instead just counting out the periodic table in his mind.]

Ask your questions.

[kietai_kienai]

What happened to them?

[tsunologydept]

Kawatake and Shirosaki were experimental persona subjects.

[kietai_kienai]

...Experimental persona subjects? Please do elaborate.

[tsuncience]

[Adjusts his glasses, nervously.]

They were-- Kawatake was purchased, I believe Shirosaki was found in the streets-- Bought into a laboratory and experimented on in an attempt to create artificial persona users.

[kietai_kienai]

...And why were they trying this?

[tsuncience]

For scientific advancement, and to create human weapons. A full powered persona user, even a child, controlled through medication and training, can match a fully trained and armed soldier in most circumstances-- Disregarding abilities that are even more useful, like healing and the ability to create confusion or turn troops against themselves.

[kietai_kienai]

...It didn't really work as planned, now did it?

[tsuncience]

It wasn't my plan!
