[In a room full of white, its not hard to spot the various victims of Jason's latest experiments. Each sits or stands in their own corner on or off furniture talking amongst one another or simply staring at the door waiting for someone to approach them.

Some of them don't look all that approachable, even if it appears that they are completely sane at first glance. Some of them might even look like they don't want to be there.

You won't really know until you approach them.]

using this for serious!Rei icons!

They're not.

[The smile melts off of Rei's face.]

Being stupid is not wanting to know what the problems are or wanting to make them better. Or it's purposely hurting yourself by being sad or angry all the time. Being optimistic is knowing that there's problems and still trying to solve them, and still having the courage to smile and enjoy yourself each day.

[In other words, Archer is the stupid one. Take that!]

[swordedpast]

There's nothing to be optimistic about. In this world or any other.

[ The words tear free of him, and then he stumbles forward, lurching away from the wall. ]

You should know that...and you should run.

[ Gleaming swords appear in his hands. ]

[She sees the swords and actually takes a step back.]

What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be helping fight against Jason?

[swordedpast]

[ It's too late. He's not answering questions any longer. Instead, he lunges, one sword flashing out to try to strike Rei right in the side. ]

[She ducks away from the slash. Equius had attacked because he thought she was infected. So what was this knight person attacking from?]

[Still, there's not much time for her to think about that. She has to focus on dodging and maybe fighting back for now.]
