Sage A: I'm sure we all heard of the incident in Plantation 13, with One-Five-Two.

Sage: C: What will be his fate? Will he be put down or indoctrinated?

Sage: D: He was never indoctrinated? But why..? 

Sage B: Papa, the results and camera feed shows he has the same characteristics as Zero Two, we may need to do blood tests to make sure he doesn't have Klaxosaur blood in him as well, during the altercation he had black horns, he had fangs, and his pupils turned black

Papa: It was on Doctor Franxx orders, I'm guessing, although all he did was get in a physical altercation with one of his squad members. If anything else happens, we will assign him to a different squad and he will be indoctrinated. No one outside of Plantation 13 is to know about this, we don't need any conspiracies or unrest. And about the characteristics, once Squad 13 is going to be tested, we will run a test on him. As of right now, we will do nothing. All Council Members are dismissed, the council meeting is over.

 Plantation 13,
Boarding House
40 minutes after the altercation.

"Listen, 152, we know we treated you unfairly and that is our fault, we apologies for that. But tell us one thing, do you have Klaxosaur blood?" Ichigo asks 152, 152 turns to Ichigo. "Not that, I know of, I was never tested or indoctrinated, for that matter." 152 replies with a calm tone. "Huh? You were never indoctrinated or tested? That's a lie!" Zorome says. "It's not a lie, I was forced into the Medic Corps, just like everyone else that's in it. Why do you think I wanted to leave so bad?" 152 replies harshly. "Although, could I have a name?" 152 looks at the Squad 13 members. 

"A-A Name? Hiro was good at that, not us, and now that he's gone.." Goro says, although he stops. "It doesn't need to relate to my code name-" 152 is interrupted by Ichigo "Kai.." "Kai? Hmm. Alright then, I'm assuming all of you will be calling me that now?" Everyone nods in agreement

"Back to the main topic and why we called you here, we don't want you to hate us, and we don't think you are a monster if that's what you are thinking. We will treat you as any other human." Ichigo says.

Human, what does human even mean.. Does it me characteristics? Or how I look? 

"I'm sorry Zorome, for what I did earlier, I didn't mean to" Kai says. "Hmph! no need to get all soft on me, personally, i'm fine with what happen. It shows you're not a weakling." Zorome says playfully, everyone laughs including Kai. 


Smart words.. From a Human at least.

"So, where is she now, Ichigo?" Kai asks. "She's with Doctor Franxx back in Plantation 13, near the Command Center-" Ichigo is interrupted by a beeping coming from her communicator, "Speaking of which, Nana and Hachi want us in the briefing room." Ichigo says


Plantation 13
Command Center
1 hour and 10 minutes after the altercation. 

"We know what happen today, and APE knows as well, although no action will be taken. No one outside of Squad 13 is to know about this, doing so will result in consequences, all of you may leave, except 152. He is going to stay." Hachi says.

What, are they going to keep me from Zero Two as well? 

"152-" "I have a name now, it's Kai." Kai responds in a harsh tone. "Right, 'Kai', what you did today was reckless. Especially entering Plantation 13 without access, despite this, we aren't allowed to punish you. That is up to the Squad Leader to decide. Also, Doctor Franxx would like to see you in his office, office 169. "Thank you, I will be going now, Have a good day." Kai puts on a fake smile and leaves, he walks down the hall way.

161, 162, 163, Ah here we are 169.

Kai knocks on the door, and it automatically opens, and Zero Two leaves the room without making any eye contact at him or saying a word to him. "You may come in 152." A mechanical voice says. Once Kai walks in he notices the Mechanical Voice is Doctor Frannx. "Please, sit down, you are my guest after all." Dr. Franxx says. "Dr Franxx, I have a name now, it's Kai. I'd appreciate it if you start using it." Kai says, already in a chair "Alright then, I will use it. But, 15- Kai, do you mind if I do a quick blood test on you?" Doctor Franxx asks "Is it because of what happen earlier?" Kai asks Doctor Franxx. "Yes, it is, and no Zero Two is not aware of this.. Altercation" Doctor Franxx says in a reassuring voice. "Just get it over with then." Kai says in a stern voice.

The vibe in this room, it's sickening but it makes my head fill with curiosity, but it suffocates me. The air in here is thin and has a stench..

Kai feels a pinch and looks as a needle is inserted into his left arm, he see's a bit of blue mixed with red.. "I wonder, did you get this from riding with her, you don't have any visible horns like the report said you did.." Doctor Franxx says in a curious tone, he takes his robotic hand and lifts Kai's hair up "Nothing visible at all, you look completely human." Doctor Franxx says in a disappointing tone.

Did he want me to a monster? Was he expecting me to have the same reaction as Zero Two?

The needle is taken out of Kai's left arm and the capsule holding the blood is put in a box. "You may leave now, that's all I needed." Doctor Franxx says, Kai gets up and goes to the door.

Wait.

"Will this stay a secret, Doctor?" Kai asks. "Of course it would" Doctor Franxx replies. 

As Kai heads out of the Doctors office and towards the Elevator, he hears something, although this time it's glass shattering. He stops again and looks around, but to no avail he is left dumbfounded, just like before. He goes to the elevator and enters the code to the Boarding House, once the elevator reaches it's destination he walks out and heads towards the entrance of the Boarding House. he reaches for the door knob and opens the door. Futoshi and Kokoro are talking to each other by the entrance of the mess hall. "Oh, 152, I mean Kai. Sorry, I need to get used to your new name." Futoshi says. "It's fine, Futoshi, I don't mind at all." Kai says reassuringly. "Right, uhh, we are having dinner in the mess hall. You missed the prayer though, we were just about to get you." Futoshi says. "I'll be there in a minute, I just have to check something.." Kai says.

What do I look like, what will reflect of me in that mirror...

As Kai walks into the Boys Bathroom he looks at himself in the mirror, he opens his mouth to reveal some sharp fangs, he looks at himself with disgust, and tries emptying his head, but instead he gets more frustrated and looks back at himself. He gets the same feeling as before, but instead it's hatred for himself, and only himself. As his hatred grows, his eyes turn Black and black horns slowly pop out of his head. 

Stop, NO, I-I don't look like that, I SAID STOP.

"STOP REFLECTING ME.." Kai shouts at the mirror.

So this is my punishment... My own body is punishing me. and it's all thanks to her.
