Yeah, well, maybe it was fun, I don't friggin' know. I spent my first year like normal there and then for another year my class got locked up in there in some screwed up colony for our own protection 'cuz the world outside was too wrecked and we'd probably get shot or bombed out or gassed if we stepped outside . . .

But the chick responsible for all that was locked up in there with us all along. She was in my class. So who knows what it was like?

[Well, Togami does. Him and him alone. Leon sighs again, fingers creeping up into his hair to give it a sharp twisting tug.]

And she's the one who screwed up our heads and took our memories too, so she could brainwash us and kill us off later.

Think that was fun?
