Talk:My Friend the Darkness/@comment-26475253-20150816041738

Before anyone asks, here is a thing: The child isn't a child, but the mind plays funny tricks on you when you've been sedated.

Oh yes, did I mention that he was sedated? Quite sure I did. Oh yes.

Now then, full out explanation:

The story begins while the character (Nate) is trapped inside a coma. The 'adventure' is merely a way of his mind dealing with everything. A sort of dream, if you will. The light is where his mind has given up resisting. Almost every bit that seems unreal was meant to be that way, as I thought that might help give off the whole this-isn't-happening effect.

The background story goes (Sorry, didn't think of a way to blatantly say this in the story, so you'll have to read a comment. Poor you.) that Nate was taken from his place of work in such-and-such a place. He was a look alike for the Senator, but had to think he was the senator. The senator had been taken, but the US can't deal with an invasion like that. So, they got Grey to create essentially an exact replica.

The unnamed doctor was Nate's friend, who tried releasing him once and would try again, provided he remained unseen. The test dummy really means nothing except a red herring for what might happen to the Doctor. They were created to replicate any face that seemed appropriate.

Nate remembers nothing of his own life, thanks to some skilled surgery, but lacks full knowledge of the senators life. (The doctors knew nothing of his life at home, so they pretty much just shoved that off to the side). He knows who his family is and such, but not much else.

The questioning figure was, once again, the unnamed doctor. He was trying to see how far gone Nate was, as Nate was talking in his sleep (He had to keep Nate at least a little conked out, otherwise he'd run again).

Right. Pretty sure that's it. If not, I'll edit this later.

Thank you to those who read this and it makes sense (hopefully) now.
