Special Counselling? If only. Brainwashing wasn't an excuse for hurting people, not exactly, but it made more sense than what Landel had been suggesting for the last few nights. That people would voluntarily attack the sick prisoners out of a sense of self-defence or, worse yet, a sense of justice.
Even if the infected were brainwashed in their own right--made to lash out on instinct like Sora had--that didn't mean counterattacking was the right thing to do.
"The way the Head Doctor's been talking... and some of the others, too... it sounds like there's a chance people have been attacking the infected. You know, because of the illness." Tsubaki was reluctant to say as much, and her words came slowly. She didn't like implying the were other prisoners out there resorting to violence, but neither could she pretend she didn't suspect it. Kurogane had plenty of experience himself, more than her; he had probably considered the same thing.
As for what she'd seen herself...? Nothing that counted as evidence. What she and Leanne had gone through had been entirely different. So she she shook her head. "I was just... afraid that might have happened. Did it?"
