[The sound of crunching. Hojo's near a wall by the way the sound echoes, scraping his hand across the crumbling, flaking paint.]

[voice] lfmdf don't mind him, he's in a pretty bad zone for his psyche. 8) there's no cages.

[agrise]

That mark in your eye.

Cages. What else would I keep them in?

Where are you?

voice.

[rememorize]

Why... What are you keeping... caged?

voice.

[agrise]

What can't be left to roam freely around the laboratory.

[outlocked]

voice.
