Darkness. That was all he could see as he slowly started to come to his senses. Slowly his chocolate brown eyes fluttered open, only to seal shut when faced with a blinding light. He tightened them before slowly trying again. His vision was blurred and he felt sick to his stomach.

What happened? Where was he? He heard the muffled noise of a keyboard clicking close by. He tried to move to rub his eyes and shield them only to find... he couldn't.

He frowned and felt his brow furrow in confusion, trying again only to be met with the same results.

Apparently he was being noisy as the keyboard fell silent and another voice, muffled and distorted, greeted his ears. "Oh. You're awake. I wasn't expecting this if I'm honest..."

He turned his head a little towards the voice but everything was too blurry to see anything other than faint colors. "Wh-what?" His voice slurred. It felt weird talking. Foreign. Sort of difficult. "Wh-Where am I? What's goin' on?" He asked to the best of his ability.

"No need to worry about that. It will be of none of your concern shortly." The voice replied.

He felt something around his wrists tighten, along with some around his biceps, ankles, and just above his knees.

"Wh-What are you doin'?" He slurred, too out of it to really be as concerned as he should have been. He was slowly coming back around.

"Don't worry about it." The voice answered again before he smelt something being held near his mouth. It smelt nice. A little bit strong if he was honest. Minty.

"Open up and swallow this."

What? He looked confused, watching the blurry figure. "Wait, wha-?!" Before he could finish, he felt the small oblong minty object be forced into his mouth and then a liquid, strong and citrusy filled his mouth. He struggled for a moment, panicking as he was taken by surprise before finally swallowing it down and gasping and coughing for breath.

"What the hell?!" He was very awake now. His vision was still broken and he couldn't move but he was much more aware. "What's going on?! Why can't I-" He stopped, memories playing back in his head. He felt his heart skip a beat.

"You... You drugged me." He looked at the blurry man, an expression of fear and hurt across his face. "[REDACTED], What the hell?! I thought we were friends! And you've strapped me down?! [REDACTED]! What the actual hell are you doing?!" He demanded, angry and fearful.

A dark, sad chuckle answered him as the man looked down at him from above. "Sorry Reese but I anticipated your resistance... I can't let you ruin everything we've fought so hard for..."

He froze. The minty object... A-... A wintergreen tic tac... Just like he had talked about... and he swallowed it... He felt tears pour down his face as he started to panic.

"N-No... No! Are you insane?! What are you doing?! Please, _, don't do this!" Reese begged as he struggled against the restraints desperately, heart racing faster.

"... Goodbye, Reese."

Reese opened his mouth to beg again, but a sharp pain and a voice in his head cut him off, causing him to gasp and hiss in pain.

[Calibration in progress. Please excuse some mild discomfort.]

He struggled and struggled, tears running down his face. No, no! This can't be happening!

[Calibration complete. Access procedure initiated.]

Oh. That wasn't so-

[Discomfort levels may increase.]

Screaming. Very loud, anguished screaming filled the room. Where was that coming from? Oh. Wait. That was him. He felt electricity course through his body as it convulsed and spasmed as much as it could being restrained.

[Accessing neural memory.]

He saw the blurry man standing over him, not making a single effort to stop or help. Not even to comfort him.

[Accessing muscle memory.]

He was going to die... He was dying at the hands of his best friend and no one would ever know... Tears fell down his face as his screaming finally started to trail off as everything started to grow dark and quiet and his body numb.

[[REDACTED] "Reese" [REDACTED]! Welcome to the S.Q.U.I.P. A.I. Program. Please stand by while we prepare you for our installation.]

He stared up at the ceiling, unable to move or speak as he started to pass out, hearing one last statement.

[Deleting memories... Deletion Complete! You will be placed into standby while a manager selects your settings and sets up your new programing! This may take a little while so please! Get some rest! You'll be awake and ready to go in no time!]

He tried to fight against the slumber but his eyes fell shut and everything went dark and silent once again.
