[He nods before taking a deep breath. Okay. If he promised, then he promised.]
There's this guy... called Haine. He's kinda new. I helped him out some when he first arrived - he's a friend of Nill? Anyway, he seemed like a decent guy. An' then... after I'd talked to Saya an' I was on my way home... [He swallows. It's still hard to grasp how two of his friends could go over the edge just like that.]
Somethin' happened to him. I think it was th' same as with Saya - he wasn't himself. I guess... th' gas made 'em do things, lose sight of who they are or somethin'... I don't know. I tried to talk to 'im, but it was like... it was like th' Haine I knew? Wasn't there anymore.
An' he... beat me up. For fun. [Almost killed him, but like hell he's telling Helix that.]
