Shu was going pretty pale as he fully realised what was going on and what was going to happen next, even when Takeshi and Yumi didn’t understand. This was just the beginning of it all, what came next was the conditioning and the torture to clear their minds and force them to forget their past lives. They were finished here now that Viral had been drawn to their side and what was worse was there was no collar to get rid of it. Panicking as his mind went to dark places he felt like he had the collar placed on him, his wide eyes blankly staring forward before blinking when Yumi whispered to him. He didn’t even realise she was hugging him, his eyes slowly looking up to her before he gasped when he heard what could only had been Takeshi hitting the hard floor. Viral had hit Takeshi pretty hard and while it was not completely out of character for Viral to do such a thing, to hit him so viciously was not like him. What if they couldn’t get Viral back? There was no way this was happening, not again.

Viral was fairly deadpan after hitting Takeshi, pulling back his fists as his eyes returned to a tired state. Other than his shaking fingers as he slowly uncurled them he should very little signs of resistance any longer, his shoulders sunken and his posture suffering from a sudden lazy stance. It looked like the drug had taken full effect and as he stared forward he completely ignored Takeshi’s and Yumi’s words, his pupils looking as if they were struggling to focus on one thing. As the words of the scientist rattled in his mind he slowly turned to look at him as the man placed his hands on his shoulder, staring at him before his eyes darted back to the others. It didn’t look like he was going to ignore that command and as his fists tightened once more he immediately went straight for his first target, that being Takeshi. Immediately throwing his fists down at him he twisted around for a kick, aiming to cause as much damage as possible even if he wasn’t using his claws.
