*Walt watches a recording of the experimentees. Fine pilots, now turned into gibbering messes.*

"...I can see everything now."

"They're everywhere."

"I can see them even with my eyes closed!"

"They're staring at me. I can't rest... Please make them stop watching me..."

*The experimentee keeps on gibbering. Walt turns the video off. He involuntarily grabs his bandaged arm.*

"So they can see it too now." He says.

[Setsuko was watching from afar, but she can only take so much of the recording before it becomes impossible to bear.]

...

[While trying to discretely retreat, she bumps into something, making enough noise to alert Walt to her presence.]

Oh, hey Setsuko.

Fancy seeing you here. You won't be able to watch clearly from there. You should move closer.

[star_of_sad]

I'm not sure I want to.

No, I definitely don't want to! Why did this happen? Is it because those people had your... eyes, transplanted?

[dolorous_sensei]

I think so... What else could be the reason?

[star_of_sad]

But then....

Why aren't you like them, Walt? They are seeing everything you see all the time, right?

[dolorous_sensei]

What can I say? What I'm seeing might be disturbing, yes. But they don't actually affect me. I'm more concerned on things like, what do I do if I got discharged from the military? I have no other skill. Now THAT'S scary.

You are always concerned about something that puts you in despair...

Wait! Could that be it?
