"Memories of your real life coming back to you..." ZEX's voice strained and caught, and his shoulders tensed. "Convinced of the reality of your life until memories of your real life came back to you." A harsh breath, and the tension left ZEX in a shuddering wave. While previously speaking without any emotion, now a real touch of despair entered his voice. "Oh no, no, no..."

He finally moved somewhat, raising his arms to cover his lowered head. "It can't be real, I can't be that person... that can't be what's real, it can't. That can't be my real life, human all this time, I can't..."

ZEX trailed off, trying not to think of each perfect explanation for his "delusions", and the human body that supported the idea of madness.
