To put yourself through this, year after year, to mitigate the damage. [. . .] We found something else, along with the hunter profiles. A video of two scientists in a lab, talking about you and this camp. One was a normal looking human, but the other man looked. . . strange.
[very strange?]
They both mentioned you were immune to this camp's mind effects, and the strange-looking man mentioned he wished to experiment upon you. I found it all extremely detestable.
Yes, I can. The way he talked so casually about "experimenting" on someone. . .
[a sharp exhale of breath]
Amamiya brought up a curious proposition to me earlier this week. Is this camp. . . part of a larger experiment, run by that man and the other scientists in his lab?

My frustrations are hardly your fault, and I shouldn't have taken the out on you before. I refuse to do that now.
[. . .]
If I may change the subject, are you able to tell me what happened in this camp one year ago?
no subject
Date: 2018-06-22 03:37 am (UTC)...of course. What did you want to know specifically?
[It went on for eight weeks, so there's a lot to tell.]

Date: 2018-06-22 03:47 am (UTC)The profile the hunters wrote for me referenced that they wished to "avoid a repeat of last year." Do you know, perhaps, what they meant by that?

Date: 2018-06-22 05:13 am (UTC)...I almost broke protocol, to save him. I needed a reminder of my duties in order to fulfill them.

Date: 2018-06-22 05:12 pm (UTC)I had no idea Ryoji was here so. . . recently.
[:( :( :(]
What reminder did they give you after you broke protocol for him, Red?

Date: 2018-06-22 05:42 pm (UTC)They played his final words to me, on repeat, over my computer speakers for a week.
Along with the warning that 'next time' they would erase the camper's presence from camp entirely.

[those words are harsh, but definitely not directed at Red herself]
Despite doing this for the "good of the universe," they seem rather cruel.

Date: 2018-06-22 08:03 pm (UTC)All those times I said 'you don't want to meet the men in charge'?
He's one of the ones I was referring to, and I bet you can guess why.
[She seems not bothered by the mention of experiments, though. Probably because she doesn't think they will happen.]

I wouldn't say he runs it, no. He's a madman doing his own thing.

Date: 2018-06-23 09:19 pm (UTC)Doing his own thing. . . "for the good of the world?"
[she feels like it always comes back to that]
