It's miserable to think that someone had it in them to do that. But if it was the truth... He really should face it. How irresponsible would it be of him to let such a misguided person continue their streak of damage? So much was at stake. But ah, perhaps Seth had purposely drugged him for other reasons. Perhaps it was to protect himself from letting Rhys find a way to stop him? Did that make sense? If Seth was dealing drugs unwillingly, but was made to stop, Rex would find out and who knew what would be in store for Seth next? If he were in Seth's position, he would like to be stopped at all costs. But it was equally understandable for someone to choose to preserve themselves- after all, he said he was threatened if he didn't do his oppressor's work. He hated thinking of possible motives stained dark with malignant intent, but it was so hard to do because of the pain and pity it invoked within Rhys. Poor soul, his heart cried, I wish I could help you find your way out of the woods. And thus, Rhys found more ways not to blame Seth.
"I'm frightened. I truly believe it was a mistake of circumstance that could not have been helped, and unfortunately, I had to suffer in the end..." Seth might have suffered knowingly, too, if he had taken the pop and thereby managed to sneak his way out of divulging too much to Rhys; little did Rhys know of anything that happened after he swirled into fantastic world-bending hallucinations. "But I'd rather suffer than let the one who made me suffer find more suffering! Oh! There's... no way I could explain what I just said without explaining everything. See... I feel frightened because I... I don't know what to do. Between feeling gut-wrenchingly ill and descending into what I could easily call madness, my mind hasn't been at ease. I feel as though... as though there's a veil of fog drifting around my mind. And I can't just sit back and keep these secrets locked inside." His leg wasn't the only limb trembling; his hands too suffer now as he grips them together, staring into them as he laid his thoughts out for Ulki to hear. "I think I... should tell you a few things. Important things. But I will not name the one who did this to me. Do you understand? I will not!"
A tear slides down his cheek. He was growing hot with an indignant will to keep his own oppressor safe.
