Viral didn’t want to feel cowardly upon seeing Aito and June on the other side of the portal, but his fear over what they might think of him was definitely overpowering to the point where he became a scared little cat afraid of judgement. They had died at his hands and there they were on the other side with the power to order him to destroy himself if they so wished it, his own memories of them clouded to the point where he couldn’t even remember their personalities. He wished he could remember to give some understanding to how they worked, and then he wouldn’t be the snivelling coward he was now.

Viral couldn’t look at them, his anticipation to their memories suddenly coming back to them and the realisation that they shouldn’t treat him as anything less than a murderer growing a little; however, Aito was quick to call him ‘wrong’. He felt confused, his eyes looking up at Aito but quickly averting his eyes away, frowning a little as he placed his hand over his chest. He felt confused all over again, not entirely sure what he was supposed to feel right now as he spoke instead about his origins. He didn’t know how he was created, he wasn’t able to pick up on that knowledge when that information had been lost, but upon hearing about it he couldn’t help but feel confused knowing that they went and asked a former RRA member.

Slowly lowering his head again, he held his breath for a moment. He couldn’t remember anything regarding the first few years of his life, everything they were telling him was just coming up blank in the most painful of ways. He should remember all of that, but just like the reason for killing Vegeta’s parents he could only believe that it was true. He was so promising and yet he turned out so badly, something that still burned in his mind that labelled him a failure of an experiment.

The brief pause had him slightly startled, his eyes looking to Aito and June. He didn’t understand, his mind feeling only lost over what was to be said next. Lowering his head slightly, he kept his eyes averted for a moment before looking up at the mention of this Doctor Hirsch, a confused look appearing on his face. Of course it was that man who would be the downfall of his seemingly perfect start, everything taken away from him in those few short years. Staring down at his hands as they shook, knowing that his own DNA had the one problem that was beginning to reoccur again. He didn’t know why he was given it when a former RRA man was also in charge of the project, the problem lying in his brain of all places. He was naturally a killer and all they managed to do was enable a trigger to keep it back; however, that trigger was failing again and the only way he was going again was back into that animalistic behaviour.

Looking back to Aito and June, he stared at them as Aito spoke, his expression dropping pretty heavily before he lowered his head. Everything that had changed his life completely was because he couldn’t stop himself, just like he said, yet they still forgave him for trying after all these years. Slowly raising his claws to his face, he could feel the water y build up coming from his face before he shut his eyes, sniffling a little bit. He was emotionally torn, his tough curtain ripped away as he broke down. He wish he could had done more for them, but because of his existence they had been removed from the face of the Earth along with Vegeta Jr’s grandfather in one mad loss of control thanks to this Doctor.

Jerking his head from side to side in a rough headshake, he lowered his head down before them, trying to hide his shame. That ‘madman’ was probably still out there, knowing full well what he had done and waiting for that moment where Viral would return to Earth to use him again if not using the lack of him to allow the RRA to grow. Compared to what they used to be, the RRA had definitely been able to get new technology that would win any of their wars and that was definitely dangerous. Holding his hand to his face he tried to stop the tears, feeling torn up even as June accepted him fully as part of their family, “How can I be happy…still knowing full well what happened…? They removed my memories of you…hidden from me! I can’t remember anything from before, I was locked away…my control being lost again!” Even with the voices pushed away for now and the treatment he was given by Vegeta to help repair the nerve damage, he still knew his control had gone before and he was a danger once more, “My abilities are only growing stronger…I have begun transforming and losing my mind once more…I can’t take it any longer! Not even your son knows what to do…”
