[There they are, monster and person in a shifting spiral until it's unclear which is which. Eventually they'll have to settle as two sides of the same experiment- one subject grown, one found. Both abandoned.
Both there to question evolution and progress.
Both catastrophic failures, and both horrible successes.
Of course, neither knows for certain how far the parallel runs. It's just some deep, needling instinct that twines the two together, seeking answers in each other. It's that desperate plea for self that shines through, and that, Tetsuo can start to understand.
It scares him on a level beyond fear of death. That nightmare beyond his window sees him... and finds they're in some way equatable.]
Is there a point to anyone?
[He's falling quieter as he speaks, afraid of this new nihilistic hole gaping underneath him. None of this is real, part of him's reminding him. It can't be. He lived and died and fought in a million dreams. This was one of them.
What the hell can possibly matter then?
But he's talking seriously, and answering with his limited pool of information as long as the clone, freak, dinosaur whatever sticks around.]
