[Another day, another Hojo.]

[The shifting and often disturbing scenery has been bad enough. The way this whole thing started was bad enough. Vincent has been encountering his nemesis everywhere, but this time has gone beyond the bounds of sanity. There's the sound of water running in the background and then Hojo's maniacal laughter. Finally, Vincent speaks up, less than amused.]

What is the true purpose of this experiment? To revisit the past, or to irritate us with enemies we can't hope to defeat?

[A gunshot and a thud follow. THIS time, he had better not reappear.]

[Being rather new, he is still attempting to feel his way through this world and adjust.]

[A simple nod. You're welcome.]

...I assume this is the first experiment you've endured?

[He still remembers well how it felt to be introduced to such madness. One never quite gets used to it, entirely.]

Mn. [He nods in affirmation - and while he wishes this were also the last experience of its kind, he has a nagging feeling that that will not be the case.]

...Unfortunately... they don't improve with time.

[Some of them are even worse.]

[He might have heaved an imperceptible sigh.]

I suspected as much.

All we can do is prepare when the time comes.

[Offering another nod - this time in gratitude and acknowledgment - he then leaves his response at that.]
