I start crying. Crying at the top of my lungs.
[MADNESS] So thoughtless about the others. The stars will not wait for you.
[MADNESS] You're fucked up, fucked up beyond recognition. Degraded into such a beast.
[MADNESS] It's funny. You think you're out of control. It would be easy to fight this, to reign in your emotions. But you chose the easier option of stepping away from the ordeal of being human... and letting something else take over.
[HEARTLESS] <span class="mu-s">Maybe you deserve this.</span>
From within my heart surged hideous feelings that should not exist there.
The world seems to collapse into a tiny pinprick of light. It becomes very, very hard to breathe.
I hear a sound from far away and everywhere at once, more the keening of a wounded animal, no more human than a beast. My suit soaks up tears and lets fingers tear into it without losing its faithful composure. Ugly and hateful feelings continue to overflow, uncontrolled.
I'm tired of this. I thought... If I lived like this... I could just go numb and not think about anything... But all I do is feel everything!
[HEARTLESS?] I, I want to understand. That's why I need you. I need you to help me understand. Please tell me - What am I becoming? How can I let myself turn out this way? No, what am I to begin with?
>YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ARE FRIGHTENING. YOU ARE NOT HEALTHY LIKE THE OTHERS. YOU MUST MASTER THIS FEAR. [HYSTERIA. I must hide away from the world.]
>YOUR WAILING REACHES A NIGHTMARISH CRESCENDO. AN INDESCRIBABLE VOICE RUPTURES YOUR VOCAL CORDS. YET, THERE IS CARTHASIS. [MANIA. Power in misery.]
>SUPPRESS. ALL AT ONCE, I AM STRICKEN BY A HORRIBLE AND FAMILIAR SENSATION OF CONTROL. YOURS. [RESENTMENT. We know we're playing with the toy, and it finds us terrible in that regard.]
>WRITE IN.
Or...
>WE NEED YOUR MIND PRIMED AND CLEAR. NO ANSWERS. NO MORE FREAKOUTS. UNDERSTAND?
