"Oh! I have the notes somewhere with me, I keep them with myself everywhere I go. It's highly sought after material you see, so I never leave it in an open space. However... Since I didn't imagine I'd be seeing you today it's currently back at my temporary residence, locked in a safe. If we repeat this session tomorrow I can bring everything I have in and we can go over them together if you'd like." It was a little embarrassing he didn't know more of the information off hand seeing as he'd a great part in creating Viral. Some fifteen years had passed since he'd even seen the Beastman, there was the excuse of time as to forgetting all of the specific details. Ikura took a seat on the bed, the edge closer to Viral, and smiled at the Beastman gently. "I don't know what I can tell you about yourself that you don't already know. As for the future... I can't tell you that either. I helped create you, but you were never given a distinct guideline to live your life. We had hoped you'd be a protector to Vegeta and Yumi, and clearly you accomplished that job, they're both still here with us. And you've defended the planet, seeing as we're all here. Regardless of how you believe you did I know myself and Aito couldn't be prouder of you. And your future is not our design, that's for you to choose. We've only given you the means to seek the life you desire."

Battle again was not Ikura's strong suit, Aito was much better at speaking about it than he was. Though maybe he could find something in Viral's being to reinforce his self-esteem and confidence. "Naturally you're weaker than Saiyans, there's no denying that. But through training your strength improves exponentially. You've the capacity to grow to heights we couldn't likely even imagine, and you still are. Combined with your forms' ability to nullify Ki attacks and you're most certainly not outclassed. With enough training you'll be the most powerful warrior Earth has to offer, I don't doubt that in the slightest." That raised a curious thought, he wondered how strong Vegeta and Yumi had become. Vegeta was part Saiyan after all, he had that natural inclination to become powerful. Yumi on the other hand, perhaps with exception of her latest change, was just human, but a very gifted one at that. Both were certainly strong warriors, and Ikura liked to think the fact Viral was in their company alone was a testament to his own strength. "Your 'monsters' as you call them are a safety feature, we actually imagined you would rarely use them. The fact you do use them isn't bad though, it's a natural response, survival instinct if you will. Once your health has returned you will better be able to control your forms and they won't surge in order to preserve you."

"If I may change the subject... You said you can't eat any longer. Why is that...? Can you share with me why you find it difficult to eat?" So many issues with this poor man, Ikura couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He was certainly going to have to remain in East City a bit longer, there was no way he could leave knowing what a state Viral was in. "If it's too painful then don't force yourself, but perhaps I can alleviate some of that for you now."
