Kitchen (Aichi)
-She thought he left with the others...-
-...Oh, geez... What the heck is he supposed to say?-
-Part of him desperately wants to call out EVERYTHING she and the others did.-
-Express just how miserable it has made him. The pain, the suffering... everything. It hurt him and the people he cares about so much, and he desires to say it all. To tell her how he'll never work with any of them ever again, that he will not go back, that they can forget all about him helping them...-
-...But at the same time, he wants to... well, not be like that.-
-Partly because he's such a mild-mannered guy naturally (although he can express anger when it comes down to it [Which at some point he may finally just express it all to Acht, but for now, he's not]), but also because he still sort of feels like she's a big sister figure, as he did while brainwashed.-
-She did watch out for him while he was with them. She didn't have to, but she did.-
-She could have been mean to him or even ignored him, and Aichi never would have questioned a thing. He was that deeply under their control at the time.-
-It was probably all just an act to keep better control over him, but Aichi still has to fight against feelings of gratitude towards her.-
-...Aichi's stuck with so many conflicting feelings, and it makes it hard to act on any of them.-
-...-
"...I-I got left behind..."
-...Not a lie. Not like anyone tried to get him back or anything. They pretty much just ditched him.-
-Not the whole truth either though. He wasn't just 'left behind'. He was rescued.-
"A-Are you all right?"
-He finds himself wanting to make sure Acht's all right, and he finds himself asking it whether he wanted to or not...-
-...Did he want to? He feels like he does, but what if it's just the Brainwash Residue? Aichi's still not entirely sure he can trust himself...-
-He won't join them again, but what if he just can't get himself to stop supporting them...? What if he can't get himself to tell Leos and Sthesia that he saw Acht...?-
-Acht, doesn't he seem oddly nervous? He was a shy and soft-spoken kid back at base when you spoke with him, but he never really seemed nervous around you (Not unless you count those serious headaches, but that was less about you and more about his memory trying to force its way back)-
"T-This place can be odd sometimes..."
-...Acht, his tone indicates familiarity with this place. Not that of a kid that's been stuck here for a little bit.-
"I-I hope nothing too strange happened..."
-Combined with him being nervous (although he still seems very worried for you that something bad might have happened) around you...-
-Did he get his memory back?-

"...I guess you could say I'm interested in this type of thing."
-Well, that's not entirely a lie. Leos, Sthesia, and Aichi have gotten her somewhat more interested in mechs and such.-
"Dragonfly robots, then?"
-She is curious.-

Kitchen (Aichi)
-Aichi's definitely still seeming nervous, and it's apparent that Acht's arm crossing only increases that nervousness.-
"Y-Yeah... A-After the Avalanche Exia stopped working, Sthe—"
-He cuts himself off. He can't call Sthesia by her name. He didn't know he as Sthesia before. She was just some girl that looked like 'Sthesia' in his mind...-
-He definitely can't call Misaki 'Misaki' either...-
"...T-Those two girls tried to grab me, b-but I got away..."
-...That's not especially convincing, is it?-

Kitchen (Acht)
(She cocks an eyebrow.)
No offence, Sendou, but I don't think you look strong enough to throw off a couple girls.
Listen, you wouldn't happen to know about any clones that look like you, would you?
(Cross mentioned those, didn't he?)

-Urk... Good point...-
"W-Well... T-They didn't get very close to me, and I barely managed to lose them..."
-He... really should have thought twice before approaching Acht like this...-
-He's not particularly prepared to deal with this. Who knows what she'll do when she realizes that Aichi is not still under their control.-
-Will she try to grab him? But it's not like she has anywhere to take him...-
-He'd just have to run then? It's not likely that she'll attack him... He doesn't think...-
-Aichi is silently and strongly hoping that Leos or Sthesia might magically show up and get him out of this situation...-
-Imagine if he did have telepathy. This would be a great time for that! Sadly Aichi is not so lucky, is he...?-
-Oh well...-
-...The clones... Well, Aichi hasn't seen any of them...-
"I-I've heard about them, but I haven't seen them... T-There are a lot of different, um... people that look like me here..."
Kitchen (Aichi)
"I-I, um..."
-Oh, crud... What's he supposed to say now?! It's clear that she knows that Aichi's hiding something!-
"I-I've seen a few people like me walking around, but I heard about a few specifically that were some kind of clones..."
-Think, think, think...-
-Uh... maybe try to act confused about why people know him...?-
"I-It's strange... People here act like they know me... I've been trying to go along with it, but it's..."
-Oh, pretend to have a headache! That might sell it!-
"...Ugh..."
-He puts a hand to his forehead. He already looks uncomfortable enough, so maybe it'll look mildly realistic...?-
"...I-It's like I've met these people before..."
Kitchen (Aichi)
-Oh crud, uh...-
-This is bad. Who knows where she'd want to take him to? Wherever it is would be away from here.-
-...-
-If accidental telepathy were to happen at any time, it'd be right now as Aichi has some pretty scrambled thinking pretty much pleading for Leos or Sthesia to get him out of this mess.-
-...No, he needs to deal with this himself.-
-He can handle this. And if it comes down to it, he has his Blaster Blade armor to make it more difficult to take him anwhere.-
-He's not about to try to hurt her though...-
"...B-But where c-can we go...?"
-It's not like they have many options... So maybe he'll be safe???-
Kitchen (Aichi)
-OH, THANK GOODNESS!-
-Aichi beams involuntarily, even though it destroys his act.-
"C-Cross!"
-He... highly doubts that was telepathy. That was just pure dumb luck.-
-Still, he's not going to complain.-
-Although Aichi gets a very noteworthy expression of guilt at what Acht said.-
-However, Aichi shakes his head at Cross asking if Acht was causing him trouble.-
"N-No, I just found her..."
-Well, sensed her, but still...-
-It wasn't like she was actively pursuing him or anything.-
-Acht, Aichi remembers everything.-

(Blink-blink.)
(...Okay, he didn't bail.)
...Kid? What the heck are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at base?
