So Venom had been around for that time. It didn't sound like he had actually been a part of it, but from what Sora could tell, it had only affected a portion of the patients. It had been a pretty significant portion, but there had been a fair share of patients who had been forced to watch as their friends lost themselves. Thinking of it that way, he had to admit that it would have sucked to be on either side of it.
It was no surprise that the older man was curious about it, though. If there was one thing Venom seemed to be other than serious and reprimanding, it was curious. He'd definitely asked a lot of questions during their first talk, anyway, and that seemed to be continuing now. Even in Doyleton, he'd wanted to know more about the zombies.
"It's actually pretty fuzzy now," he admitted with a sigh as he rubbed awkwardly at the back of his head. "But... it was as if I was a different person. I don't think I even acted the same." He started to wring his hands together without even realizing, staring off across the cafeteria as he spoke. For once he was the one who couldn't look his conversation partner in the face.
"There were memories, lots of them, of some life that never even happened. But it felt so real at the time. I can only remember some of it now, but at the time I was completely convinced." To the point that he'd run around correcting his friends about who he was. He'd probably freaked out a lot of people that way, and he was just relieved that it hadn't lasted.
Not sure of what else to say, Sora finally glanced back over at Venom and shrugged his shoulders. "Does that help?" He wasn't even sure why the man was asking, but he got the feeling Venom had a reason for it. Any clue into how the brainwashing was done would probably be worth looking at, right?
