I can't... really argue that, but.

It makes me wonder, why don't they just brainwash us to be happy little citizens of their colony? They know plenty of us don't believe in them.

[...] Do they just not care, because they could do what they wanted with us in the end anyway? But then, what we learned in their building, if they had that much power they should just be able to erase our memories, but...

[ VOICE ]

[bakudanma]

Do you remember the tarot cards, Hinata-san?
Do you not think that was a kind of brainwashing?

People's personalities were being altered. It was either their form of "training" gone wrong, or it was malicious intent from the start like everything that happens here.

I have no doubt this will happen again.

[ VOICE ]

[particularity]

...It was when that happened I wondered if there was something wrong or different about us.

[His voice drops into a mumble.]

It'll all keep on happening unless we get control of our own codes. [Ie, take down CERES...]

[ VOICE ]

[bakudanma]

There isn't any need to mumble. They still know what you are saying and that we are having this conversation.

And then what? Many of us have the same aspirations, but nobody is making any advancement to this goal.
Nobody is saying what we will do once we win.

Are we to live here on Tellus and forget our homes?

[ VOICE ]

[particularity]

We have to go back to our homes.

[...] Yeah, I don't know how to get back. I don't even have a plan to get back, because I barely know anything still. [In his voice is frustration, frustration at himself and at everything.] I don't even know if it's going to be possible.

It's already been almost two years for me... but I need to keep going.

[ VOICE ]

[bakudanma]

An ambitious spirit will keep on going.
_{[ is there a sort of smile in his voice? There is. ]}

I'm willing to join you and the rest alongside.
We will work the ending details later once we have succeeded.

[ VOICE ]

[particularity]

[Katsura, he doesn't know how to deal with you when you're making sense.

But... That he said that much surprised even Hinata. He doesn't usually let his frustration about things slip out when he's talking to others. Comes with being the type to bottle things up, a bad habit he knows about, but he's yet to kick.] Yeah. Once we've succeeded.

For the time being... I'm going to ask around and find out what others experienced on their "tours" in CERES's building.

[ VOICE ]

[bakudanma]

_{[ He can sense that frustration. It's alright, Hinata. ]}

Let me know what you can find out. We are in this together, after all.

[ VOICE ] 1/3

[particularity]

I'll make sure to tell you what I find out later. And, uh--

[There's a pause.]

[ VOICE ] 2/3

[particularity]

[...]

[ VOICE ] 3/3

[particularity]

Thanks.

[Bit of a long pause for a thank you BUT OH WELL.]

[ VOICE ] 1.2

[bakudanma]

You're welcome, Hinata-san.

[ VOICE ] 2.2

[bakudanma]

Now please cut your hair.

[ VOICE ]

[particularity]

Nope.
