Chase had never considered himself a puppet, and he certainly didn't now. But there were times when he had to wonder, was he really fully under his own control?
First and foremost, there was I.R.I.S., obviously. They controlled his environment entirely, what time he ate, when he could sleep, when he got to leave his stuffy room. But what they did didn't make him feel like a puppet, just a prisoner.
Then there was Echo. Chase didn't think that that was really their name, but he went with it. Sometimes it felt like they were more in control of him than he himself was. But he wasn't even sure he minded that, it kept his mind off of being a prisoner.
And even if he WAS a puppet, what was the reason, even? It wasn't like he could go anywhere, do ANYTHING. And HIM? Why HIM, and not literally any other person on the planet.
Sometimes he closed his eyes for what felt like a moment, just trying to get away from the glaring, miserable lights that never shut off, and when he opened them again, it would be time for dinner, and four hours would have passed. He assumed, like any person would, that it was just a result of being stuck in a blank room with nothing to do all day, for days, weeks, months, but he really couldn't tell. Something told him it was something else, something created not by his own mind.
The days stretched on and on and on, Chase used to try counting them based on when he got dinner, but after a while he stopped trying. He got the feeling that someone was fucking with him and giving him the wrong food at the wrong time, but maybe he was just getting paranoid.
He missed Echo, he hoped they would come back soon. They helped keep his mind off of his depressing existence, even if he was only a puppet to them. Did it really even matter in the long run? It wasn't like he had anything to live for anyway.
Hello, Chase. Would you like to do something fun?
