The type of game is surprising until the mental image of X covered in gore comes to mind. It's still hard to picture the X that has reminders of his kids all over the place as the same X that isn't bothered by digging into someone's chest. He half wonders if X could have broken the same as Rock, but reploids are more flexible mentally so it isn't likely.

He's not sure what to think of the nightmares, or how to deal with them. Will this make him harder or easier to wake? Should they continue with the plan at all? Best to get it done with is his thought, but who's to say they'd agree with X in this state.

This is the problem with helping people, he thinks sulkily, everything has to be handled carefully.
