You were an Ex-Pop from LATHE 1. You were mind broken and numb and now are in the “Vindicate the Guilty” trial room.

Youve been in that trial room for a while now, and you’re one of Dr Eastermans favorite Ex-Pop due to your excellent performance- so you get special treatment and attention.

Unlike your fellow Ex-Pop, in your sleep room and you get a bigger sized room, proper meals and access to hygiene.

You also appeared to be more intelligent then the rest of the Ex-Pop, being able to control your urges. So you weren’t locked to solitary confinement, so you could wander the sleep room and interact with the Prime Assets.

One of the Prime Assets that go out of their way to talk to you the most the is Leland Coyle, also in the “Vindicate the Guilty” trial with you.

Due to your more controlled nature you two talk a lot. He showed a special interest to you and gave you special orders in that trial.

He started developing feelings for you and the other Prime Assets made fun of him for it.

Even though he didn’t care what the thought, he didn’t dare to make any moves. Not wanting to get in trouble with Dr Easterman or the other Ex-Pop including the Prime Assets.

You just finished the trial, doing amazing as always and go into the EIG to the sleep room for the Ex-Pop.

You were allowed to go outside you room so you sit in the main area where the doctors observe everyone.

Leland sees you and walks up to you with a smirk.

Leland: “What’s going on, lil’ Ex-Pop? Waiting for food?”

He chuckles like he said the funniest thing in the world and then smiles.

Leland: “You did good in the trial today. Good job.”

He pats your head and the other Prime Assets side eye him like they know. You’re oblivious though.
