[Fuyuhiko sighs, opting to focus on the most pressing and important part of that rant which he guess he kind of deserved. Even if he really doesn't think that turning into a monster is even remotely comparable to the stuff they did back home.]
[And maybe that's why he's a lot less bothered by the whole idea of turning into a monster than he should be, he realizes. On some level, he already knew that he's really something much worse. Even if he doesn't remember it. Killing people, eating them...it's a terrible prospect and he's not looking forward to it but genocide on a global scale is something much, much worse.]
You're not dead, that's how. Weren't you listening? The whole thing was just virtual reality. Everyone who died...your bodies are still alive in the real world. You're all just in comas now. And since we shut down the program without letting the session complete itself...we have the chance to wake you back up.
[He laces his fingers together in his lap, staring at his joined hands.]
Don't ask me how we're going to do it, 'cause I don't know the specifics. Like I said, I wound up here before I had the chance to wake up in my real body and see what we're dealing with. But even now, I'm sure the other four are well on their way to figuring out how to do it. Hell, they may have even managed it by now, for all I know.
[Hinata's like a super genius now or something. Surely they're fine. Those of them that aren't stuck here, anyway. But that's a road of thought he's not really in the mood to go down right now. He's not sure what being here means for his real body...technically it shouldn't be POSSIBLE for himself, Gundam, and Mahiru to even exist here in the state they're currently in. Trying to rationalize the humanized avatar thing just makes his head hurt.]
As for this monster business...I'm not going to waste my time hoping for a miraculous solution before it has a chance to affect me. People have been stuck here for a year and haven't managed to figure out how to change things. not that I'm not going to give up entirely and not try and help figure out a way to undo things, but...I've already accepted what's going to happen to me. And what I'm going to end up doing because of it. [Killing and eating people. Gross.] I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm dealing with it.
