That's fine, you have don't have to like me; I don't even like me.
The sad truth of the matter, Contaminator, is we are very alike, and that's not a good thing. We are two broken people with not much to live for. Our victories are hollow, and we gain nothing from them.
I was also once sick of this world. When I came back from the war, I was a broken man. The prison I was thrown into, they tortured me, twisted me. They cut me open and rewired me. When I was finally returned home, I took no pleasure in anything anymore. I couldn't feel pain and I couldn't feel any pleasure. I was lost in a sea of nothingness. Time after time, I considered ending it all. I lost count of the times I put a gun in my mouth. And if there was any real justice in the world, I should have pulled the trigger.
But I didn't. Call it cowardice, call it apathy. The real reason is simply is not that I didn't want to give up. It's only that I cannot stand losing. And even more tragically, that's about all that keeps me going. Time after time, whenever I stepped into an interrogation room, I would ask "Why do I do this, why would anyone want to do this?" The answer is also, disappointingly easy.
"Because what else is there?"
So with all that in mind, what else is there for you? You could give up here. No one would blame you, I certainly wouldn't. Alternatively, if you decide that you also are just simply tired of losing, you should consider a few things.
One, we were told that should that mask of yours break, you would begin to suffocate. In fact were give express orders not to let that happen, you were to remain alive. However, this is now the second time I have seen you with a puncture in that mask. The first, you stabbed me. And now, Happy has stabbed you, through the face no less, and punctured your mask.
Two, we gathered intel based on what we knew, and what you were told. So I ask you, who told you that if you removed that mask you would die? If it was Happy, I would begin wondering what other lies he told you, then take it a step further:
To what end would he want you believing that if you removed your mask you would die, To keep you complacent? Most assuredly.
Why would he want you complacent and following his orders? Is it possible you might also be able to command the spirit parasites as he can? I doubt he would want to share that kind of power with anyone.
And most interestingly, have you tried commanding them before? Perhaps now would be a moment to try.
My advice to you. Try to command them to take off your mask. It will either kill you, and we will appreciate the irony that you COULD command them, only for it to kill you. Or you will live, and you can figure out what you want to do from there.
At this point, what else have you really got to lose?
Or, do nothing.
