[Even with his own brain being a trainwreck and his body not being much better off, Kazu can sort of feel there's something off about Tetsuo. But he can't quite put his finger on what.]

Er, well, I think I was brainwashed.

[iamtetsuo]

You think you were-?

[What. The hell. HAPPENED. After he died???]

[burnmetwice]

Okay, no, I'm pretty sure. I... I was guarding something important, for Pan. And then Kaneda showed up.

So you didn't get caught in it...?

[iamtetsuo]

[A string of emotions crosses Tetsuo's face in rapid succession ; alarm, pain, almost a pleading look... then his teeth snap together and his expression becomes closed off and dark, eyes keeping to the floor.]

...no.

[burnmetwice]

[Kazu blinks, because there's no way he missed that, but he got the distinct impression it was best not to ask. Yet. He didn't think Tetsuo would tell the truth right now, anyway. But that was fine, he could ask Kaneda later... and it'd probably be better to wait until his head was on a laittle straighter.]

... Good. I'm glad.

[iamtetsuo]

So. You said...you were helping Pan?

[Said very quietly.]

[burnmetwice]

Not because I wanted to! ... He did something to my head.

[iamtetsuo]

Like what?

[burnmetwice]

I honestly don't remember... It was definitely some kind of brainwashing, though.

[iamtetsuo]

[ Tetsuo still doesn't look up. He can't make himself, and he hates himself all the more for that fact, eyes narrowing and mouth curving down even further. What's he supposed to believe anymore?

What weak, pitiful kind of idiot is he, that he can't even confront this like he wants to?]

[burnmetwice]

When I was fighting Kaneda... Haaah, it sounds stupid and cliche but I could sort of feel that something was wrong. I couldn't get my memories to line up.

[iamtetsuo]

Your memories...?

[That's enough to make him go back into the conversation.]

You mean like when we...?

[He makes a back and forth circling motion with his hand held between the two of them.]

[burnmetwice]

Ah... I guess so? It kinda felt like I had memories that didn't really make sense if they were mine.

[iamtetsuo]

[It's really hard to know what to even SAY to that. Other than no matter what, Tetsuo thoroughly did lose.

He goes back to not looking at Kazu, staring darkly at some fixed point without paying attention to what it is. If Kazu didn't betray him intentionally, that means Tetsuo caused this. He kinda did.

He's guessing Kazu really has no idea what happened. Maybe he should say, but he can't make himself.]

What kinda memories?

[It's like he hears his voice ask the question in that dumb soft tone he can't get out of, rather than intentionally asks. Going through the motions rather than living them.]

[burnmetwice]

Mm... That I'd been living with Peter as one of his goons, mostly. I didn't remember you or Kaneda at first.

[iamtetsuo]

I see.

[What else is there to say?]
