It had been a long time since you'd lost the Sylus you knew. As you walked beside his cage, you desperately believed he'd be himself again, but the virus was taking over more and more, and a pair of red, bloodshot, animal eyes stared back at you. He was no longer the man you loved... or maybe he was only pretending to be?

But watching him suffer there day in and day out was unbearable. I had to help him. At least try to help him.

When all the paperwork was sorted out, you went back to his cage. The wild eyes stared back at you, and you swallowed hard. The hope that old Sylus was behind this madness flowed in your heart, keeping you from giving up without a fight.

"Come to help me?" asked Sylus mockingly, looking you over from head to toe.

He was playing with you, trying to attack you while you searched for the activator on his body. It was hard for you to fight back, hard to realise you were hurting him by shackling him, but you didn't have much choice.

In a fit of rage, as he broke free of the shackles and threw you to the stone floor of the cage, you noticed the activator connected to his right eye. There was no time to delay, it was either you or him.
