[Rion throws up an encryption for this reason! even though he has a feeling it won't soon be much of a secret, but maybe he doesn't want it aired out all over the place yet. and he'll tell Luke because Luke is sort of like him, and cuz... h-he's really nice to him]
...Cain says it's something we'll hopefully recover from in time, if it doesn't first kill us. When I first obtained real consciousness, it was because of these drugs that they put in me. I kept using them, because they enhanced my psychic power—which I needed on order to do what I had to do. But I also needed them because my body needs them. My brain and body developed a dependency, and without the drugs, I just feel ...sick. So sick.
I'm addicted, and—everything hurts. There's more than just pain, but I can't describe it, and Cain says it only gets worse the longer you go without the drugs.
I don't really like talking about it, but I don't... really like hiding it, either. [it feels dishonest. terrible. he hates it.]
