"I don't know... It's the only explanation I can think of that even remotely makes sense." He said holding his head in frustration.

"I know, sorry... it's not that I don't want to agree with you, it's just... think of the implications, it's mind-boggling."
She nodded, sighing.
"I think there's not much more that we can do other than investigate that Darktower Inc. thing. Maybe we can get answers through it. Gimme a moment."
She went in the house, going to get her laptop computer, and bringing it out on the table on the patio.
"How about we see if it exists on the Internet?" she suggested, turning it on, and proceeding to run a search. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Going to get my computer; 1 stone to manifest in order to pick it up and bring it back.

You boot it up revealing a screensaver full of kimono-gown fanart he sent you over the years.
"Oh wow, you actually kept those." He said as you found a website.

"I, uh, yeah", she admitted, blushing a little. "I mean... most of them. I might have missed one... or not. I don't know..."
She then looked at the website with attention.
"...It... it seems like it's genuine, and... I mean, they don't seem like... I dunno, they don't give an evil vibe or anything..." She paused, observing the screen.
"...You think it might have been a... Robocop kinda thing? I-I mean... you got hit by that truck... what if they saved your life by turning you into this new you?"

"No... I remember it was just a few broken bones. I wasn't in any danger." He said. "They took me, and did all this to me. I'm slowly starting to remember more and more. They programed decades of combat training into my mind, implanted organs inside me. Fused me with armor... They sent me all over the world... I was killing terrorists, drug cartels, other undesirables..." He said starting to break down. "I left no survivors in my wake, hostile civilian, anyone who saw me I... Oh god!" He cried. "I murdered them all!"

"No, you didn't!" the ghost girl cried out, hugging him in an attempt to comfort him. "...Y-You didn't. They did. They used you, but they did it. Not you. You're as much a victim in this as anyone else who suffered from this, even moreso. You are not responsible for any of that. You didn't murder anyone. They did so, using you. It's not your fault!" she insisted yet again, her lips trembling (and unbeknownst to her, so was the rest of her). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 stone to maintain my manifestation.

He cried for a couple minutes before calming down. "Thanks." He said kissing your cheek.

She blushed noticeably, before slowly smiling.
"...You'd have said the same."
She looked back at the screen, frowning.
"Okay, so scratch the... 'hopefully they're good guys' option, they're clearly assholes according to your memories, or at least they think they're good, but are willing to go at any length to get the job done. That still leaves a lot of questions. Why did they take you as opposed to the other millions people in hospitals? Why did they not transform a willing soldier, or something like that instead? Are there others modified like you were?... Etcetera."
She looked back at him.
"...I think the best step at this point is to locate one of those... Darktower Inc. guys's facilities, or even headquarters if they have one, and pay them a visit. I don't think we will find the answers to our other questions just by thewebsite, but..."
She searched the website a bit more to see if they had an address, or an approximate location where the Darktower Inc. offices could be located. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 stone to maintain my manifestation.

You locate no such address.
"None at all... This is so confusing." He sighed.

"Yeah... and I'm afraid I lack the investigating skills to learn more with so little information, unless you remember a location or you have access to some amazing hacking skills or something", the girl agreed, looking at the screen a bit helpless. "I'm sorry, I thought... I thought I might be able to help more than that."

"It's okay. You are already helping enough." He said hugging her wraping his tail around your waist.

She blushed a little as he did so, smiling faintly.
"I am?... I mean... yeah, I guess. I'm...glad to help in any way I can", she said gently. "...So, um... wanna relax a bit? You've had a rough day, and... well, I get the feeling we won't find much more about Darktower Inc. at the moment."

"Yeah." He said. "You don't happen to have a shirt in my new Size?" He asked. "I feel a little self-conscious in this state." He said.

"Wha...? Oh, my, yes! I mean... no, but I can make one. You should have said so, I'd have made it immediately..." she said, nodding. "Wait... let's see..."
She manifested a good quality white buttoned shirt of about his size as far as she could tell.
