How can you possibly say that after talking about some light meant to take me away? What does that mean?!
[All the while he's trying to shove down the conviction that even if that was possible, there's nothing out there that would ever come for someone like him specifically. He's...just not that important.]
[Frustration is clear in his voice. His hands go to his head, palms covering his eyes as he tries to think. Everything happened so fast, and the things he remembers the clearest he can't say. Not here. Not yet.]
These powers you've got here--you have em back home too. They tried to stop you, and that white light came and took you.
[His face shifts around some as he tries to piece things together.
When he ran with Kaori, screaming at Kaneda to let him try to do something in his life, something happened. An all-too familiar flash of white pain, a resonating ringing in his ears as something struck his head like an instrument. Images...things he still can't piece together. Things he still sees in his dreams sometimes. And a voice... like something calling him.
It wasn't the first time. There'd been that examination...
Those powers he has...he wasn't sure where they came from. One more question to drive him nuts.
Now, he knew for sure. One slight bit of truth that corroborates Kaneda's crazy. He knows what he did with them here, how many fights he had. How many times it was life or death.
It's just enough that he takes this a little more seriously.]
I could feel them do it, you know. In the operating room... [He turns around to lie on his back again, hesitating painfully before quietly continuing.] They were doing something weird to my head. I thought those guys were just doctors or something.

[He turns to face him immediately, eyes widening with shock.]
I'm not making this shit up, Tetsuo...!

I thought it killed you at first.

Why don't you now?

Why?
Because the government did it to themselves.

That's how you got your powers.
And then they tried to stop you--if it's anyone's fault, it's the stupid suits living large and watching everyone die.
