Viral hadn’t put it out in the open before but all of this talk about what could had been always made him twitchy and find difficulty in accepting help from others. He knew how easy it was for others to want to get their hands on an artificial being and see how they work and how much they could suffer through compared to other beings, the typical experimentation that even humans did with animals. It made him particularly nervous around others and hateful of people with backgrounds in science or the military. Vegeta had been not all that different once he had grown up and learned all the Capsule Corp’s tricks, sending Viral into his desire to leave through any means later on. Believing Vegeta could develop evil intentions wasn’t beyond him, seeing how he was a relative of Prince Vegeta; however, it mostly sprung from the reasoning that businesses were evil in general and would do anything for profit whether they were aware of it or not. Not finding Vegeta’s teasing very encouraging, he frowned and looked away, “Don’t try and flatter me, especially when I’m like this…” he groaned, looking back to him, “And if it turned out your father moves onto something new when he returns…will you move on with him?”

Viral just wanted this over and done with. He knew it was going to be a long process because none of them knew what was wrong with him; however, his desire to not feel anything beyond a few aches and pains was just too great right now and wanting it over quickly was a high priority. He didn’t like having to draw this much attention, he needed a break from others once in a while but all he seemed to do lately was have everyone surrounding him all the time and making him feel like a child. Hearing Vegeta refer to himself as his Master made him pretty annoyed, especially after what he said before, “You disowned me…” he mumbled, pretty annoyed that he wasn’t in the right state to be able to slap him. Telling him that the fact he lacked the memory capacity to recall what happened during the battle was pointless knowing made him a little annoyed to say the least, the progress being made being near zero from that so there really was no reason for him to ask about it. He didn’t forget what happened during an erratic transformation completely, he could recall a lot of it just through fuzzy memories, but this he had completely forgotten. He didn’t see that as something that should be ignored. Watching Vegeta closely as he came towards him, Viral narrowed his gaze before looking down at his hand, “Great…if you think it’s worth it”, he muttered, resting his head back again, “So long as nothing bad happens…like the prototype blowing up…”

Shu was pretty scared of himself and did wish that everyone ignored it so that maybe he could ignore it, but everyone was so set on reminding him that it existed and that made him constantly worry over it. He certainly didn’t like knowing he was capable of hurting someone innocent, but knowing everyone else was worried that he might do exactly that made him a little sad. Pulling at his fingers nervously, he looked up to Takeshi quickly and tilted his head, “Bananas? I want a banana”, he spoke, looking back down again, “I’m just scared incase it’s something Father did that’s made it worse…I-I mean, I barely changed until he caught me”. He didn’t see it as any sort of illness he had, just that he was getting out of control and his thought pattern behind it was he might not change if he didn’t worry about it so much. Maybe Takeshi would soon forget about it if he got busy with something or the others, maybe Vegeta and Yumi would get too busy with Viral and forget too. Maybe if Takeshi got friendly with Haku then he would spend time with him and forget; either way was okay with him and this whole thing could be forgotten about.

Shu just didn’t know about Haku at all and it was probably because he spent so much time worrying over the way he looked to strangers, maybe even intimidating towards others because he wasn’t like other Saiyans. Looking up at Takeshi Shu frowned, not entirely sure he knew what he was saying, “Haku come to eat with us too…? Ooh, I’d be too nervous to eat”, he spoke, not entirely sure what to make of that decision. He didn’t want to be selfish, but he was worried he might just be making enemies if he hanged around the guy and something went wrong. Feeling a bit nervous he let out a sigh, shaking his head, “I’m always nice! I’m not a meanie!” he squeaked, looking up to Takeshi, “He was the meanie! I’m just little and not able to stand up for myself…I’m not an alpha and strong and brave!”
