I am unable to hold back my scream of pain as the chemical makes its way into my brain. My vision goes red before I close my eyes completely and start thrashing around as I try to escape the chair that was bounding me. The pain is horrible. There's no words to explain how excruciating it is. It makes my mind itchy, and I feel the need to scratch my way through my head to reach it.

Make it stop. Make it stop! Make it stop make it stop make it stop make it stop make it stop! Suddenly, a calming sensation takes hold of my body and I relax. I feel tired, and my limbs become all heavy. The pain was still present, but my focus was on something completely different.

I must find Takumi and that demon. There is a great importance to finding them. I know that. Or rather, I feel it.

I notice my vision swimming, and I'm incredibly thankful for the relief, as the pain was slowly taking hold once more. Wanting to escape it, I let the darkness that was swimming with my vision envelope me completely.

It continued, my visits to the horrid Insertion Room. I've been there four times now, and it's only been six days since the first time. I keep wondering if Takumi is going through similar ‘tests'. I really hope not… The people here don't answer back when I try speaking to them. They don't disclose any information about what it is they're doing to me, either.

It's infuriating. I can't stand it. Because of them, I'm having a hard time understanding what's real or not anymore. I'm still hearing the voices inside my head, but I've figured out a way to keep myself relatively sane.

My newly discovered hatred for the Exterminators always helps to block it out.

I’m going to fight them. I can't allow them to do this any longer. Who knows how many innocent people have been brought here and have been subjected to this torture? I… I don't know how much I can do, but I have to try!

I take a deep breath, rocking back and forth on my bed. I have to do something. The Exterminators can't stay in control if this is how they treat their people.

I hear footsteps outside my door, and they stop as they reach my room. I lift my head as the door opens after the sound of it being unlocked, and five Exterminators stood in the hallway.

There's only ever been three before…

“The Templar wishes to meet with you, subject o213.” The only woman speak coldly.
