This food is people!

I mean, okay, it's kind of cool that they got it to look so...real? Is real the right word? Like, I can still tell this is a hot dog or a cake or whatever, but it's really, really...people-shaped. Some of 'em even look familiar. Hunh.

This is still totally twisted, though. Cake is awesome but it gets way less appealing when you have to chop up somebody's face to eat any. Especially somebody you know.

No, my good man, I would say I have not.

Information? From those who do not have any left? Or are you saying that they lift it, wholesale, from our heads and then do as they please? These are stupid reasons to trap people. We have nothing.

I see.

Your definition is too limited. Information is not necessarily memories or identity, anything we knowingly have to give, and I'm not suggesting they can steal memories from our heads directly. [No, after the Toushi thing, he would not put Genius into the line of fire like that.] Information re: behavior: decision-making, social interaction... We don't have "nothing"; we've just been reduced to our bare minimum. Like scraping the fancy exterior of a clock so you can see how the gears work. Maybe the memory loss was just the first part of a dissection. Each event is a shock, a tap, a poke to muscles and organs to see just how we work, and break.

They're undoubtedly learning about us by observing us through their experiments. To what ends, though, I don't know.

Myself, I feel that the fancy exterior says more. To scrape is to wind up with less.
