Cory: I kept running. I didn't even know where I was running. I couldn't even think about it. I just wanted the noise to stop.
(Tears start to fill his eyes.)
Cory: And then... it did. The noise stopped. I looked around, deafened by the silence... I saw the corpses of everyone I'd come to know. I lost everything that day.
"Yeah. It was Nexcon, they saw my chaos beast in me as 'interesting', and attempted to clone me. The process of extracting my DNA was very, very painful."
Cory: Thanks... sorry I keep doubting myself. This shit just keeps... eating at me, you know?
[reminder that OJ doesn't know Cory was the only survivor of the Escape]
You/Your OC is spending the night with Cory. You suddenly remember the shutdown of Teal Labs in 2014. You ask him what he knows about it. Suddenly, he looks upset.
