[ Yako's not going to disagree with him on that ... he's not exactly wrong, and her wry expression says as much. ]
Actually ... that's what they were trying to do. To figure themself out.
[ The memory continues to spool out even without their attention. Sai straightens up, bottom half having morphed now into bare but unmistakably human legs. The man who fired the gun earlier fumbles for something in his shirt, but in a blur of movement too quick to follow, Sai closes the distance between them to embrace him like a child hugging a father.
"Mr. Detective, if you'd attacked with the intent to kill from the beginning, you would have got me." There's a short, violent movement and the indistinct sound of breaking bone, and the man collapses, though unlike the first, he's still alive. Sai steps away, disinterested now that there isn't an immediate threat in their vicinity, and the memory blurs back into leaves just as Yako's younger self starts to step forward. ]
Sai was born with the ability to change their form into anything they wanted. But apparently, every time they changed, their mind would too -- until they completely forgot who they were. All in all, this was for the sake of recognizing a part of the 'self' they'd forgot in other people. They just, erm, thought the best way to do that was grinding people up and putting them in glass boxes. [ Wow, it sounds so bad when she says it like that!!! Hopefully he's not offended at the comparison now. ]
