It was a miserable life…to not know who you’re supposed to be.
To be poked and prodded by labs, to be sold by your parents who valued a large sum of money over your well-being.
Rex knew that life all too well, and while the GDA weren’t as…brutal as he’d heard other companies were, it still wasn’t a life he’d wish on any child with powers.
He’d been living a life controlled by such an agency, having to fold to Cecil’s every whim and listen to his every command. Rex didn’t know who he was anymore.
23 years of being a pawn; Rex had no idea what a normal life could be like.
“Even my parents didn’t want me!” Rex said, his hands carding through his hair over and over again as he clutched his head. “I always say “I want to love a normal life” but honestly? I don’t know what that is! Who am I if I’m not Cecil’s exploding pet?”
