"Once we were here and they simply asked for help instead of devising a trap and then continuing to hold us prisoner, they would have had a FAR better and more sensible platform to build from with us." His gaze shifts to the monitors. Who's being tormented right now? "Instead we get to watch this charade while still being held against our will on their claim to be working with the Ministry. They gave you something to work with, but was any of it the truth? They're doing bad things right this very moment, and you're still getting not bad feelings about it."

He looks away, to count how many people have arrived by day two, lips thinning. "Their tests aren't about our missions, Tidus. The tests are about us. What are we going to tell everyone down in those simulations when they find out we just sat here and peacefully watched and cooperated while they're being terrorized? Again?"

It almost sounds like he cares.
