[scythegun]

It'd just be a little depressing otherwise, ja?

[He's relaxed a good deal by now, though he's not entirely sure when he got so tense in the first place.]

[manufactured]

Oh, it definitely would. I haven't spent this much time with you for nothing, after all.

[This really does feel...better somehow, now that words have been used; it's still slightly awkward, maybe, but not altogether bad.]

[scythegun]

Of course! You'd have every right to be annoyed with me if I couldn't read something like that!

[It's good that we've worked that out, even if it did require displaying our thoughts for it!!]

[manufactured]

[So maybe the whole thought-displaying thing won't be so bad- ...no who is he kidding it's going to fucking suck, but at least we got that out of the way.]

For reference's sake, I'm not hiding anything terribly important or life-changing from you. I've noticed more minor physical changes, but nothing to indicate that the condition I told you about earlier is going downhill. If anything, they seem to be purely cosmetic in nature.

[...And apparently he'll actually talk about things if you let him chill a little and do it on his own time. Who the fuck knew.]

[scythegun]

[Wow, look at that!!]

I'm glad to hear that. I'm curious about what kind of cosmetic changes they are, admittedly.

[But he'll just leave it at that and not press any further.]

I received another memory fairly recently, though it doesn't do much to explain anything.

[manufactured]

Scarring, actually.

[...Well, all right, then.

That said, however...]

What sort of memory are we talking...?

[scythegun]

[Scarring, huh... That's interesting. He's curious and wants to ask more about it, but he figures it's probably not that important. Wesker doesn't seem bothered by it, anyway.

As for the memory...]

It was very brief. I was dressed up as that other man in this memory as well, but this time I was talking to an unfamiliar woman. Apparently I have an interest in archaeology, who knew! The man I was disguised as apparently excavates dig sites instead of just supervising them, which she seemed impressed by.

[So that tells him... absolutely nothing important.]

[manufactured]

...Interesting. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but archaeology isn't something that I would have figured for, as far as your...hobbies go.

[No, really, that's. Actually kind of cool? STILL TOTALLY ZERO-CONTEXT THEATRE but cool regardless.]

[scythegun]

It isn't something I would have had much of an interest in, but I didn't get the feeling that she was incorrect. I still don't know why I was in disguise, but it sounds like this person had a life all his own. Perhaps I was just posing as him...? It's difficult to say right now.

[manufactured]

Clarification on exactly what you were doing would be nice, yes, I'm sure. Though I suppose some information is better than none at all, given that it told you something.

[ALBEIT...NOT...A USEFUL SOMETHING...]

[scythegun]

I do appreciate that, but something more substantial would be nice... All I know is that I was going by the name "Regaey" and that I was the leader of "Ruin's Gate", which is apparently a guild that deals with excavations. It's something, but it's not particularly useful information.

[He hasn't remembered The Joke yet. Don't worry, he'll get it eventually.]

[manufactured]

[...The day that particular penny drops is going to be horrifically stupid, isn't it.]

Oh, believe me, I understand that much. I've remembered by fair share of non sequiturs.

[scythegun]

[He's going to hate everything.]

It sounds like it! I'm still not over the leech, by the way. That's the most bizarre thing I've heard!

[manufactured]

I've seen the man who took the repulsive thing in at least one other memory before that. I don't recall anything else about him, outside of the fact that we used to work together and he seemed rather...enthusiastic about his research.

[scythegun]

[That sounds like a bad "enthusiastic"...]

Do you recall what he was researching?

[manufactured]

Viruses and parasitic organisms, I believe.

[scythegun]

I... see. That sounds... interesting.

[That's the nice way of putting it.]
