[ it does not make any sense, but giyuu is keen on trying another snack anyway, so he goes back to browsing. ]

The fact we have rules—the island that I was on had rules but they weren't written down.

[slobjection]

How did you know what they were, then?

[ phoenix will just lean back and let giyuu continue with the snack search ]

[ well. sorry to make the conversation take a dive but?? ]

I knew the rules because I was the one who was cursed by the island—to know what was going on and to carry out what it wanted.

A prisoner in your own body?

[baori]

I was still me, but my thoughts were not my own.

[ if that makes sense? ]

[slobjection]

Were you aware of what you were doing?

[baori]

Yes, but I didn't understand what I was doing. It would behave as though I knew what I was doing was wrong but I wasn't able to realize it further.

[ when you know ritualistic murder is wrong but still make people do it anyway. ]

[slobjection]

So... something like brainwashing. Is that right?

[ that's rough buddy ]

[baori]

Perhaps.

[ he. doesn't know the exact term or what it means to be brainwashed but...maybe? if it's like washing one's brain because he supposes that's how it could seem. ]
