[ She doesn't know what she wants, other than this cure to be sorted already so she can erase the past few weeks from her mind.
Her end goes absolutely silent for a moment, as thought she's contemplating something. She doesn't know how to say it, but it's easier that she says it sooner rather than later. ]
I think... [ She exhales. ] The symptoms are coming more quickly than most others have dealt with.
Yes. [ The response is short, and really even if Urahara will confirm this later, she presumes he'll have already figured out it was a possibility. ]
I believe I may have mentioned this before when you and Graham made that post, though I cannot remember for certain. I have been brainwashed before, then placed in a software that erased my memories and input my past self there in the hopes of recovering me, I suppose. The system had to be shut down early, so I retained my memories, however the problem was at least erased.
[She's mentioned... briefly, something to the effect of having been influenced mentally, but. Would such a thing physically cause accelerated advancement of virus symptoms?
Mental health was hardly her forte. (Hah.)]
I am afraid you will need to expound on the connection.
It... [ It's messing with the brain, and considering the infection mostly altered the brain and the messages it sends re: hunger, it isn't impossible. ]
It was an alteration that caused us to only feel the need to despair. To spread despair by causing violence, by killing others, by hurting ourselves. I commanded my entire nation to fall-- [ Her breath shakes, and if Sieglinde is listening carefully she might hear the telltale signs of crying. ] --by taking the crown from my parents. The virus is not so dissimilar in that way.
[Some sort of... depression? Paranoia? Something like a melancholy of the mind, but... spread like a virus?
It's something she has trouble understanding, but perhaps anyone would, and yet- Sonia is crying. (That's what that sound is, isn't it? Did she just confess to both matricide, patricide, and regicide? Sonia?) So what does she do? Say?]
So you believe that... your mental capacity already having been compromised, you remain more susceptible to the virus at this time?
[Was it the right choice, to try and keep speaking clinically?]
[ More than that even, it's... more a way of life. A lust for something so deeply dark that you inflict the pain on yourself to feel that kind of despair. Junko Enoshima is... something else.
It's hard to get the words out, but she's more used to this than she wants to admit. Quietly, the manages the words. ]

Is there any reason you can think of that would explain such a thing?
[Something about her genetic makeup? Her world? Something she hasn't told them about?]

It is possible. How else can you explain it?
