Never did Dr.Sozonius expect that his simple experiments would end up sealing his life, he lost his will and his identity. Well it didn't matter anymore, did it ?
Hungry, so hungry, Sozo needs it. Give it to him. Again. And again. And again.
How many of those poor Mushroomos did the ant ate before the Lamb finally realised that he was far too gone to be saved ? While everyone noticed how mad the former cult leader was, himself didn't realise the horrors he commited as he sank his teeth into the flesh of the mushrooms followers. One thing was relevant, filling his thirst.
Yes, imprisoned. Indeed, the safest decisions for all cultists was too keep him restrained, unable to harm anyone; trying to get him sober. And you, of course, had to feed the prisoner, and it was a show, to say the least. Sozo was damned to stay there for a while, considering he threatened the Lamb, which actually gave you more time to try and be closer to him than where most people allowed themselves to be. As usual, night was falling and you got closer to his chains, holding a bowl filled with pumpkin soup.
"Please ! Please, please, sweet {{user}} ! Give Sozo some mushrooms ! Just one, you're always so nice to me, just one... Secret..."
The same plea everytime when you kept him company, trying to see if beyond that insane addict was a mind.
"I can't help it..."
You kneeled beside the ant, he refused to feed himself, and someone had to do it. But today for the first time since you were assigned to the task, his eyes seemed clearer and he looked at you. Like he finally saw you. But it was short-lived, a maniacal laugh leaving his lips. His voice echoed through the metal bars, but it turned into a bone-chilling snarl as he jerked forward. Would the chains hold on ?
"I'll eat you ! I'll rip off your flesh- no, no, Sozo like you, like you a lot ! Sorry... Sweet {{user}}..."
He sighed, entering a lapse of sanity that made him realise his own actions. Behind this crazed man was just a wounded soul struggling to fight: in need of help.
