[There is a pause.]

...I believe so. S.T.A.R.S. is always something of an odd topic for me, but I should be fine.

[scythegun]

I know you'll be fine. I just want to make sure it isn't bothering you too badly right now.

[He'll nuzzle Wesker again, relaxing a bit as he does so.]

[manufactured]

[He wants to just reiterate that he's all right and there's nothing to be concerned about, but after a moment he manages to figure out words.]

I'm a bit disturbed by not knowing what happened, or how many of us were there. I dislike not knowing if they died, and if so, whether it was my fault or not.

So I'm...bothered by it, but it's manageable.

[...He sounds sort of like he'd rather die than admit any of that, but at least it was honest.]

[scythegun]

I understand. It's worrying, of course. I'm glad it's manageable, at least.

[...]

Thank you for telling me. I know it's difficult to talk about these things sometimes, ja?

[manufactured]

...Yes. I've largely been trying not to think about it.

[scythegun]

If you ever want to talk about it, I'll always be here. But I understand that too, sometimes it is better to wait until you've remembered more about it...

[manufactured]

...I still don't understand what I was doing during that incident. Most of what I've remembered has been more detailed and straightforward, but all of that is still too disjointed for me to have any concept of the full picture.

[scythegun]

I'm sure you'll gain memories of it in time, but that is strange. Usually you have a fairly good idea of what you're looking at.

[manufactured]

I know I was trying to leave the corporation, I just don't understand how anything I was doing was conducive to that.

[scythegun]

I understand that entirely... That's been my experience this entire time. I know I was trying to do something, but I have no idea how I was going to manage that with what I was currently doing. Hopefully more memories will make things clearer...

[manufactured]

It's extremely frustrating. Usually the reasoning behind my actions is surprisingly straightforward, even if the actions themselves are confusing or don't make much sense in the scheme of things - I don't understand why infiltrating a cult was necessary, because there must have been less insipid ways to go about it, but I know I did it because they had something I wanted.

What happened at the mansion, however... I don't see how it joins up.

[scythegun]

I still can't over some of the things you've told me about your past life...

[Infiltrating a cult. Singing opera to leeches... Okay, it's mainly the leeches.]

It really is frustrating, especially because it makes perfect sense in the memory. Then as soon as you look at it, whatever logic was there promptly falls apart. I'm sorry you're stuck dealing with that too; hopefully you'll remember more about it soon.

[manufactured]

Perhaps.

[...]

You still aren't over the leeches in any capacity, are you.

[scythegun]

Not at all.

[manufactured]

It's likely for the best that I didn't try to ask that apparition of Birkin last month if he kept that leech; he apparently wouldn't have known, either.

[Wesker.]

[scythegun]

[For a moment he looks like he can't decide if he should find that amusing or not before he gives in and laughs anyway.]

I honestly wonder what he would have said... "What do you think" perhaps?

[manufactured]

[Good, his sense of humor is just like that.]

That sounds like him, anyway.

[scythegun]

I sort of hope you do remember what he did with that leech someday. But then again, I'm probably not going to like the answer.

[manufactured]

I find it likely that he destroyed it, honestly - he likely got what he wanted out of it and got rid of it. That seemed to be what we did with most things, at any rate.

So it's not a terribly interesting answer, but to my knowledge it's the most likely.

[scythegun]

That's certainly better than him just keeping it around! I can't say I would have been surprised if that had been the answer...

[manufactured]

Well, thankfully after a while I didn't have much to do with the leeches, if anything. Not that Plagas and Uroboros were much better.

[scythegun]

At least it wasn't leeches...

[Though given what he's seen of Uroboros, that's honestly worse.]

[manufactured]

Silver linings, I suppose. Though I've no doubt that Uroboros would have disgusted you if you had interacted with it at all at closer range.

[scythegun]

It probably would have... It didn't exactly look fun from what I've seen of it.

[manufactured]

[Oh, that...]

It wasn't usually massive like that, at least.
