"Your personality will not change, at least not that I can predict. Obviously some things are different now than before, what with heightened aggression and anxiety, but that will become almost non-existant once the treatment begins. Far as I'm concerned you'll be the same person as before, you'll just be healthier, that's all." Realistically you couldn't change a person's personality, that was impossible. Yes, you could manipulate them to act a certain way, but in the end they were still the same individual and the same held true for Viral. The different behaviors that he was exhibiting now, every single one of them, Aito had concluded they were due to his condition and would fade as he began to recover. "I know it may seem difficult to believe right now but you are very much the same man I last saw all those years ago. Obviously some things are getting in the way, but I can see the same Viral as back then. Now... You'll have changed a little over the years, that's natural and expected, but not this much, and all of the change is due to your recent experiences. Given a little time and our working together I'm certain we'll begin to see the real you again."

Of course, knowing what Viral needed treating was only half the battle, they still had to actually treat him. With Viral having an immense aversion to the lab they couldn't really go there to work, meaning that they would have to find an alternative. When asking the Beastman what it was precisely he was averted to. Hearing that the smell was the first thing that came to mind was a bit puzzling, especially given how many other factors likely had a hand in it. "Obviously experiences are going to have an effect, but we can't much control for those right now, so we'll focus on what we can. Obviously smell is hardly going to negate all of the problems, but its better than nothing." Smiling sadly at Viral, Aito reorganized the room a bit then leaned back in his chair, laying one leg over the other as he folded his hands in his lap. "Your room? Hm... I suppose that would work, depending on how large it is. If that's where you feel comfortable though then we can certainly go there. Is there anything we could do to make it even more relaxing though? Any kind of stimulus?"
