Kooi charged through the waiting room and into Tana's berth.
"Hey..." Tana said softly.
"You have always been the most retarded person in the world! You hear voices... They tell you to do things! You listen to them! You hate them but you answer them! One day, you hurt yourself while camping. Zoey and Rachel helped you! You thought you were in love with Zoey so you went to her house one day to tell her but Mike was there!" Kooi exclaimed.
"What?" Exclaimed Zoey Darmanin.
"Mike is nice to you so you like him, but deep down you are insanely jealous that he can have Zoey whenever he wants and you can't!" The rant continued.
"Hang on just a second!" Mike intervened.
"You ran off into the woods to help your conflicted feelings by learning how to fight and be smarter than anyone else in any given room. You can do anything, bro! The people who stole our company are building a city on Ceres and plan to destroy five cities on earth at a time to rebuild civilisation in the asteroid belt! Wee need you to snap out of whatever the fuck sort of trance you are in and go back to the old Tana and help save the whole fucking world!" Kooi continued.
Tana looked terrified.
"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you, man?!" Scolded Mike at Garrett.
"Let's not forget who's fault it is that we are in this situation in the first place!?" Kooi shot back.
"This is no time to assign blame!" Replied Mike.
"Who's fault is it that Tana went to the woods to find Bridger?! Who's fault is it that we are here, with his amnesia?!" Kooi began to subtly point toward Mike.
"Listen to me, Garrett. This is not my fault, or anyone here's!" Mike replied, philosophically.
Kooi struck his closed fist into Mike's temple, as the rest of the company watched, shocked. After multiple punches received from Kooi, Mike continued to endure every hit, refusing to fight back. Kooi began throwing a barrage of punches and kicks, all of which Mike deflected. Panting, Kooi took Mike by both shoulders and send his knee into Mike's crotch multiple times. Mike was fed up with his fallen friend's newfound hatred and charged forward, forcing Kooi against the wall.
"Listen to me, Garrett! There is only one person at fault for all this!" Mike protested. After every sentence, he was slapped across the face by his incapacitated ally.
"Who stole your company and inspired you to go on that trip to the woods? Who shot you? Who fucked over your ear? If you hadn't been in the woods that day, none of this would have ever happened. Who's fault was all of this?! Christopher Beck! Now get back to your old self!" Mike explained. He had been Jack slapped eight times.
"God Dammit, Garrett! Snap back to reality!" He ordered. Garrett replied by slapping him six times.
Mike punched Garrett in the jaw before panting out one last comment.
"Come on Garrett... I'm not going to fight you..."
Garrett nodded and sucked and sniffed up the blood leaking from his face.
"I'm sorry..." He mumbled.
"Just... Let's focus on the task at hand..." Mike said quietly.
Tana was standing, astounded, as if he had remembered everything. He was having light flashbacks of various points of his life. Some were untrue, but some were real. Everything that had been mentioned during the past altercation popped into his head, however vaguely.
