Subject R-E was muttering to himself as he sat strapped to a chair, shaking uncontrollably. 

“I’m gonna die.” He cried to no one, bursting into tears. “I’m gonna die! I’m gonna die in here!” He sobbed. “Let me out! Let me out, Dr. Berry, please!”

He cried for a few more minutes. Hiccuping and sniffling. He struggled against his restraints, babbling senselessly.

Then, something strange happened.

His wails turned into giggles, then he laughed, throwing his head back. “No one is coming. No one is coming for me!” He hummed, snorting with laughter. “I’ll kill you.” He murmured to no one, laughing slightly immediately after. “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” He screamed, laughing growing louder, breaths growing more frantic. 

“I’ll kill you! I’LL KILL YOU! I’LL KILL YOU!” He laughed and laughed, his laughter sounding more like wailing the longer it continued. “You’re so dead. You’re so dead!” He giggled, rocking his head back and forth. “I’ll kill you~! I’ll kill you~!”  

“You’re making quite the racket, aren’t you?” 

Subject R-E’s head snapped up, and he snickered as Dr. Berry entered the room. “Hi.” He whispered, a hysteric look in his eyes as he stared at the scientist. 

“Better!” Dr. Berry smiled. “I could hear you from all the way across the building. I can hardly imagine what your poor brother must be thinking right now.”

Subject R-E only laughed, smiling widely. “Hi, Dr. Berry~” He giggled stupidly. 

“You’re drugged out of your mind, aren’t you?” Dr. Berry murmured in disgust, grabbing Subject R-E’s face with his gloved hand. He stared into Subject R-E’s eyes, observing how disconnected they seemed from the world. “No, you’re not.” He released his face, chuckling slightly. “You’re just out of your mind.”

“Let me go!” Subject R-E laughed, struggling against his restraints. “Let me go, please, Dr. Berry~” He cooed, stretching out the syllables in the scientist’s name.

“What’s wrong with you?” Dr. Berry mused, looking at the subject with amusement in his voice. “Have you really lost it?” 

“No~! No, no, no~!” Subject R-E shook his head, giggling uncontrollably. 

“Right.” Dr. Berry snorted. “Well, I came down here to put you to sleep.” Dr. Berry revealed the sedative that was held in his hand the entire time. “You clearly need it.” 

Subject R-E hummed, before bursting into giggles. 

“What’s so funny?” Dr. Berry finally asked, releasing an exasperated sigh. 

“I don’t know!” Subject R-E told him, barely able to speak through his laughter. “I don’t know! I don’t know! I don’t know!” He cackled, pushing against his restraints again. 

“Go to sleep, Subject R-E.” Dr. Berry huffed, walking over and injecting the syringe into his neck. Dr. Berry recoiled when rage suddenly lit up on Subject R-E’s face, and he tried to attack the scientist.

“That’s not my name! That’s not my name!” Subject R-E screamed, glaring harshly at Dr. Berry. “That’s not my name! That’s--” He stopped, brow furrowing. “That’s--that’s not my--” He relaxed, eyes growing dull and glassy as he slumped.

“Goodnight, Subject R-E.” Dr. Berry chuckled, leaving the room.

“...that’s...that’s not...” Subject R-E quietly protested. 

His voice tapered off, and his eyes slipped closed.
