[Some time after his return, Minato went onto the network.]

This is Minato Arisato of SEES.

[He wondered what happened to the other Minato.]

I have returned from my world. If there is anything I need to know, please tell me.

[If anyone want to ask him questions, it's fine by him. It would take a lot to really bothered him by this point.]

Oh... I guess that is true. What exactly are the experiments?

[That's what Ryoji's focused on right now, finding out just what might happen to his friends when the Tower takes control. He isn't too worried about cooking or finding food. He isn't really sure if he needs food, anyways. And if he does, he doesn't really care as long as he's the one getting sick, not anyone else.]

As it implies, the admins put us through experiments to "help" them. The experiments varies between affecting our mind, perception or body, or all of the above. Sometimes, the environment will be a part of it.

Most of the time, it's common for deaths to occur. Fortunately, death isn't permenant here.

[Which means those who died would wake up and face that reality. Those who killed will deal with it from others or their own conscience.]

That's... that's horrible. What kind of help could they get from torturing people like that?

At least they won't die for good. It would be a massacre... so many pointless endings.

Research, I assume.

[It's been a while since he look at his notes.]

Yes, if it's weren't for it, many wouldn't be walking around any more. [Including himself. He died here before.]

Still, having to deal with the pain of dying without the peace afterwards... I imagine that would be hard.

Yes, it was hard. You would have to face what your death here means when you died at the time. [Failed to win, fail to protect, failed to control yourself.] The most we can do is learn from them.

Right... I suppose the experience would give you something to change about yourself.

[But something about Minato's statement seems off...]

It... was hard? You sound like you know what it feels like...

[Please, don't tell him you've died here already... he doesn't want you to have to deal with it any more than you should.]

[If Minato could help it, he try to avoid lying. Omit details, yes, but no lies.

At Ryoji's question, he can't get around it.]

I died here before.

[A few times, really.]
