-Lies down on the floor, clutching her abdomen still-
-Is quiet for a bit, sniffling-
... Pain is anathema to me... I do not desire this sensation... how could a human or a turian or any of these things withstand such agony... your forms are frail and suffer so much, indignity, iniquity, pain, aging, death...
-Grunts a bit-
But I... I am meant to be superior, of greater mass and power.... yet I have been felled... what justice is that? What law is that? What order? What sense...?
Roof (Aichi)
-Aichi sits near Cross.-
"...I was just coming up here to think. It's a nice place for it."
-He finds himself looking up, melancholic.-
"...I used to go to a small pond* at the park back home to do this."
-There were many times he found himself going there whether he was sad, angry, contemplative...-
-It was the place he went.-
-Sadly none of the places here have the same atmosphere as that place, but the roof feels somewhat similar for some reason.-
*I have no idea what it is, but it seems like a man-made pond or lake or something.
Roof (Aichi)
-Is he doing OK? Well... not really.-
-Everything's different now... or it feels that way.-
"...I'll be fine..."
-It's not a lie. He'll eventually snap out of this. He has his friends to support him, after all.-
-That's all he needs... right...?-
-...-
-...But still, it's so hard...-
"...It feels weird being back... I couldn't have been gone that long, but it feels like a long time..."
-And then there's, as previously mentioned, his new powers and enhanced senses.-
"...They changed me while I was with them... Everything feels... different."
Roof (Aichi)
-To awaken on another planet without memory... unaware of who or what you are, with no idea of how long you've been there...-
-...The idea sends chills down Aichi's spine, honestly.-
"I-I'm sorry..."
-Aichi had his memory yanked away from him while under -EX-'s control...-
-He definitely feels a major pang of pain at the idea of having amnesia...-
-...Oh, there was another him here with amnesia... Aichi wonders how he's doing...-
Roof (Aichi)
-Yeah, Aichi can imagine it'd be quite a shock...-
-...It was a shock for Aichi when everything flooded back to him at once. He started piecing things together once he was separated from his captors, but it was still so hard to keep hold of the pieces of himself that he was trying to regather...-
-...But then Leos showed up and apologized. He found himself suddenly crying, and the next thing Aichi knew...-
-...It all flooded back into him as one powerful cascade. A surge of overwhelming memory and emotion, finally broken free from its lock.-
-He remembered it all, and the fact that he was forced to go against everything he stood for...-
"...I couldn't remember anything when I fought you and Leos... I just knew them, and what they told me..."
-He accepted anything they said, believed everything they told him, wanted to do whatever they ordered him to...-
"...I... I don't know how I could have ever forgotten... Everyone... Everything is too important to me, but I forgot it all..."
-It wasn't his fault that screwed with his head and memory, but he sure feels like it was...

Roof (Aichi)
-Is there really a difference? Aichi's not entirely sure.-
"Do you really think so...?"
-Aichi would love to believe that. He would love to believe that it's not his fault in the slightest...-
-But... he feels he is.-
-He should have gripped onto those dear and cherished memories tighter than he had ever held onto anything in his life.-
-They're so important to him, and they took them away so easily...-
"...Leos told me that you guys had no idea where I was when I said I should have been able to hold on, but still, I..."
-He nearly sighs, and looks at his hand.-
"...I should have been able to fight it..."
-That's what happens in stories, right? The Power of Friendship helps the victim rise against any odds?-
-...Or at least that was the case in the stories he read...-
-Aichi can't help but feel he should have done the same thing.-
-He's not like those heroes. This is reality, and the fact of the matter is...-
-...Aichi wasn't strong enough...-
"...I should have been stronger..."

"Oh, hey Aichi. 'Sup?"
