Sorting things out. ((Locked to all))
((More slightly sensitive material. Fair warning.))
At the top of the page in the notebook, he's written, "Goddamn motherfucking Nexus." About eight or nine times.
Once THAT little thing has been taken care of, he starts writing down what he knows. He writes, because if he focuses on this as just being a case and not reviewing the fact that he has just essentially been raped by someone he thought of as a friend, maybe he can figure things out better.
What he's sorted out is thus: Li got him drunk. Li tied him up. Li...
Phoenix shakes his head, and doesn't finish the last sentence. Move on. Move on now, or you'll lose it.
He adds into the equation the purple fog. The fog that seems to turn the most platonic of relationships into obsessive love. He pauses to think about this.
[I was reactive to his touch, and now that I think about it, that mask didn't block ALL the fog out, and he was the first person I saw, and I was the first he saw...]
He frowns. Yes, that explains his forwardness. No, it doesn't necessarily explain -- or excuse -- Li's actions. After all, Deb was exposed, and while she was definitely touchy feely she respected his requests. He grits his teeth. The anger's still there, but the fog provides a very minute possibility that Li wasn't fully in control of himself.
He taps his pencil on the paper, idly writing what he knows of Li. Maybe he'll find a reason for what he did. Or maybe he'll just find out if he's been blind to something he should've seen coming a while ago. Who knows.
He writes down the following.
- Met Li during the crisis with his younger self.
- Li: curious, can get intimate when drunk, willingly accepts 'slave conditions.'
- Has been in a number of abusive relationships.
- Father moles-
He stares at what he wrote. No, it doesn't excuse what Li did, nothing does.
But he may have found a kernal of an explanation -- and the way to progress from there. And so he turns to his computer and enters something into the internet search engine:
-Psychological effects child molestation
He begins reading.
