Roof (Aichi)

-He hates this suit with a passion...-

"...S-Sorry... I-It's a really neat suit..."

-It's not a lie. Aichi normally would find it really cool.-

-But... this suit is associated with too many negative things...-

-...Leos wants him to let things out more, but there's no way Homura and Felicia would want to hear any of it.-

-...What is he even apologizing for?-

-And now Felicia's asking what's wrong...!-

"...N-Nothing..."

-Oh, boy is that a lie.-

"...I-I'm fine..."

-He's still struggling with everything that has happened to him. He's starting to snap out of it a little, but it's clear that it's not going to go away anytime soon...-

-He has been seriously affected by it all.-

Homura: (A) ...You're a terrible liar, Aichi Sendou. What is going on?

(Homura's speech check seemed to be successful - Feli's focusing on Aichi now)

She's right. Or. You just stutter.

It's hard to tell.

-Urk...!-

-...Well crud, there's no getting out of this one, is there...?-

-...-

"...A... A lot of things have happened..."

-A lot of serious things...-

"...Y-You know how I haven't been around for a while... right...?"

-As for Felicia's comment, Aichi gets a bit of a sheepish expression.-

"S-Sometimes I stutter..."

-Particularly when he's nervous, upset, scared, etc.-

-Which applies right now.-

-...-

Roof

Homura: (actually has to look away for a moment to re-order all the Aichis and their going-ons) ...right. I assume something happened in that time?

(Using her body to block his view, Homura summons her Soul Gem and starts trying to probe for any unusual magic signatures.)

Are you just stuttering. Or. Is something wrong.

(looks over at Homura once she's done asking Aichi)

(speaking of, Homura... this Felicia girl's got a lot of some kind of energy)

Roof (Aichi)

-...-

"...A-A lot happened..."

-Homura, you can definitely sense something from him. A strange energy. It is not evil or dark like Link Joker was... It's more of a neutral energy... The chance for good and evil... His seems more positive in nature...-

-...But something's wrong. It's as if it's being boosted by an outside source. It's present throughout him.-

"...I-I was—"

-!!!-

-Aichi's eyes start glowing blue and purple, as he feels a strange sensation coming from Homura.-

-He's not sure exactly what it is she's doing, but...-

"W-What are you...?"

-Homura, he's actually sensing you probing.-

Roof

Homura: (turns around to face Aichi and Felicia more properly, just in time for Aichi to detect her probing to which she immediately discontinued going further) ...I was trying to sense if there was something going on that could not be seen, Aichi Sendou. (brings her Soul Gem out in front of her for them to see) Apparently, there is.

(eye glance from Felicia would be met with the same from Homura)

Is that Synergy. A Synergy Stone.

Roof (Aichi)

-He looks at the Soul Gem, somewhat startled. He has no idea what it is, but he has a feeling that it's powerful... whatever it is.-

-So she was trying to sense for something...-

-Aichi is uncertain of what a 'Synergy Stone' is, but at the moment he's not in a state of mind to really question it or the Soul Gem.-

-As for something unseen... It's clear to him that she can sense his PSY Qualia, at least...-

"...I-It's a long story..."

-...-

"...I-I have an ability... PSY Qualia..."

-Wait, wait, wait... You mean he's had this ability?-

"...B-But recently I was... captured, and..."

-There was a tense pause before he got 'captured' out...-

-...-

-...'And'...?-

A lot. Hard to explain.

It's just familiar. This. And that.

(looks back up at Aichi, as if referring to him with "that")

Roof (Aichi)

-...Well...-

"...I-It's not that... I still have it, but it's..."

-...Mutated. That's the only word that comes to mind for him.-

-It originally let him hear the voices of his cards. To hear them and be guided through cardfights... To make his opponents feel the pain their Vanguard would feel... Now though...-

-They changed it. He has weird powers he didn't have before. He can sense peoples' presences, and apparently sense Homura trying to sense if there was something hidden about him...-

"...I-It's not the same... T-They did something to me... to turn me into a 'Newtype'..."

-...Into a...-

"...A-A weapon..."

-...Huh? 'That'?-

"H-Huh...?"

-It's clear that Aichi doesn't understand what Felicia means by that at all.-

(A) A weapon? For what?

I know. Homura. But it's familiar. Mutations. Mind control.

-...-

-...-

-...-

"...T-To..."

-Seems like it's getting harder for him to speak.-

"...T-To kill Leos... T-To help my mas—"

-NO! -EX- IS NOT HIS MASTER!-

-Why does he keep nearly calling him that?! Why?!-

-It only makes Aichi feel so much worse...-

"...T-To help -EX- rewrite Leos's world's history... T-To grant him power..."

-...Oh.-

-Aichi tenses at the mention of mutations and mind control.-

"...Y-Yeah... T-That's... what happened..."

-Seems like it affected him really deeply.-

"...I-I couldn't remember anything... a-and I was happy to serve them..."

-A happy slave...-

"...I-I was glad to do anything they wanted, and if Leos, Sthesia, Misaki, and Anna hadn't reminded me..."

-Aichi slowly shakes his head.-

"...N-No... H-He's still out there, and they'll attack again..."

-He knows they will...-

"...L-Leos has been fighting them... T-They've attacked several times, and each time Leos made them retreat..."

-...They have no idea where they are now...-

"...W-We don't know what they're planning next..."

-Aichi nods to Homura slowly, clearly not proud of what he perceives as his own 'weakness'.-

"...H-He wanted me for my PSY Qualia... I-I don't know why -EX- thought it would help him, but..."

-...He obviously found a way to make his PSY Qualia useful...-

"...O-One minute I was strapped to a table, and everything was hazy... a-and the next I was... I was working for them, and I couldn't even remember being subjected to that t-torture..."

-They tortured him?-

But. For now. You're free.

Roof (Aichi)

-...-

"...I-I can't explain it... I-It was..."

-He gulps.-

"...M-My entire body... I-I felt worse pain than I've ever felt..."

-He's struggling to think more about it. He wants to stop, but at the same time he finds himself continuing.-

"H-He wanted me to give in, b-but I wouldn't..."

-And it...-

"...I-It kept going and g-getting so much worse..."

-...His voice... is he... crying...?-

"...I-I couldn't think... a-and I s-started seeing things... L-Leos... E-Everyone... l-leaving me there..."

-...Abandoning him... Leaving him there...-

-Yep, he's looking up now and his eyes are teary.-

"...I-I thought I saw Sthesia... I-I thought she was there to get me out of that place... a-after that..."

-...It's gone. He has no memory of what happened after that...-

"...I-It all faded away..."

-He looks over at Felicia and nods.-

"...Y-Yeah... I-I'm me again... a-and I..."

-...He has a sense of self again...-

-All right, to recap:-

-Aichi was apparently subject non-stop to some kind of tortuous pain that was throughout his entire body. This pain only continued to get worse until he started losing his grip on reality, hallucinating that his friends were abandoning him.-

-Then he hallucinated a certain one of his friends was there to save him while he was out of it.-

-After that, his memory ends.-
