How long has it been? It feels like an eternity but it could very well have been mere hours. There are no windows, no clocks, no calendars or anything to tell how much time has passed. It could've been a case of how many times Bonnie was put to sleep but the number of times it happened was irregular. Maybe he really is crazy. Occasionally, people will come and he'll be removed from his cell for a while but it never turned out enjoyable for him as it was always some form of torture. They say it's to help him and fix him. They say it's not as bad as he's making it out to be. What a bunch of self-centered liars.

~~~~~~~~~~

Recently, every time Bonnie is taken out, he's been injected with something that makes him feel strange – to put it simply. He doesn't know how they got so many different drugs that work on animatronics, however, as there are only a few that do anything. Montal is said to have thousands in the making so maybe they lent some over. That would go against what he's been told but at this point, trust is non-existent in anything so it wouldn't be surprising.

"Can you still talk?" Apollo asks.

"Yes."

The best part of the routine experiments is having his muzzle taken off and being able to talk again. The jacket is still on but he'll probably be able to rip it off himself if given the opportunity.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Bonnie."

A few doctors nearby prep a needle filled with a pure white substance, almost glowing. He's never seen one like this.

"Do you know where you are?"

"Yes."

Apollo snaps his fingers at the doctors and motions them to approach. One does while the other stays still, eyes pinned on Bonnie. He's obedient with the doctor now standing next to him and leans his head to the side, exposing his neck. The doctor is surprisingly gentle when inserting the needle. Bonnie feels it pierce one of his wires deep within his neck and even the sensation of something electric going into his body when whatever the drug is gets injected into him. Hopefully, it's like the others and makes him feel a fuzzy type of good after a while to help with the pain.

~~~~~~~~~~

The room is silent for a while as they all seemingly wait for the drug to do its thing and take effect.

"Can you tell me your name?" Apollo asks again.

"Yes."

"Do you know where you are?"

"Yes."

He writes something down – mostly Bonnie's answers – before dropping the pen to the side and sighing.

"Tell me, Bonnie..." he starts, "before you came here you had a life, yes?"

Bonnie nods slowly, something changing within him.

"You had a lot of important people in that life. One, in particular, was insanely special to you. Can you describe them to me?"

Bonnie smiles at the thought. "I love them. They were the only one that accepted me and helped me through everything."

"Ok, good." Apollo pauses for a second. "Can you... Tell me their name?"

"It's...I-it's..." He stutters. "The name...."

Bonnie dives into his thoughts and memories, thinking that it's on the tip of his tongue, but finds nothing. Then he starts to panic as he can't say it. Oh god. He can't remember your name. What was your name? How did he forget it?

"Can you tell me what they look like?" Apollo speaks calmly.

Bonnie stutters again as he thinks and thinks and thinks. He remembers all the times he spent with you and how much he loves you but when he tries picturing your face, it's just blank. The more he tries to remember, the more he seems to forget. Your voice, your smile, your habits, everything. Now in a panicked daze, he looks to the doctors. They're preparing another needle filled with the same substance. That's what it did. It made him forget. Tears form as he starts to lose it and thrash around in the chair, screaming about how he remembers you. Lying to himself. The chains around him prevent most movement but he twists and jerks around enough that he's held down by guards. The yelling doesn't stop, however. He screams about you as he tries to jog his memory. All for nothing. One of the guards slams his head against the table so the other can put the muzzle back on. The doctors are now getting a sedative ready to knock him out. Apollo, meanwhile, is just sitting there, occasionally telling the guards to be gentle. He will sometimes try and comfort Bonnie and say how everything is alright. It's not though. He has forgotten you. What's your name? What do you look like? How did he meet you? What do you sound like? Bonnie just cries as he begs to not have any more memories stolen from him. You were the best thing in his life. Without you he has nothing. He is nothing. Apollo almost looks sympathetic as he listens to Bonnie's cries, not even fighting back anymore. He just wants you back. With him. He wants a friendly face. He doesn't want to be a monster. Apollo makes brief eye contact before he's knocked out. A small whimper escapes his mouth as the muzzle wasn't put on correctly, allowing speech.

"Make the pain stop."
