Nah. More an interest in weird or obscure knowledge.
[With eyebrows raised, Chilton took in what Sai was saying. By his estimation, he was looking at the victim of an outright cult -- and one highly adept at psychic driving. The very fact that Sai could integrate into larger society from that with such relatively minor difficulty (for Chilton wouldn't accuse the young man of perfect social graces) spoke deeply to Sai's resilience.
Of course... Identity forged well after the fact was all the more malleable. And, as according to the youth himself, Sai was not even his real name.]
Good of your teammates, at least. [A soft murmur, one just shy of pity. Chilton guessed that pity would be distasteful.] However superfluous they might seem, gestures of attention often translate into caring. It was really quite good of your teammates.
[And by that same implication, good of Chilton himself.]
I will leave that invitation open, Sai. If ever you want to discuss what happened to do in length, if ever you need someone to listen.
[Chilton shrugged, lightly, trying hard not to put pressure on his words.]
My office door is open.

Mm, so I've read.
[Chilton' motivations in wanting to speak further with him, however, are not quite so clear. Hence:]
To what end? If you wish to fulfill more of your interest in me as a...psychiatrist [the pronunciation is just slightly stilted, as of one saying a new word for the first time, but otherwise almost perfectly produced in imitation of how Chilton himself had said it.], we could continue this conversation now.
[But otherwise, he sees no real point.]
Although, I'm still uncertain what it is you expect me to say about it.

You'll need time to rest up. [Chilton was mindful of the nursing staff, some of who had passed along the hallway of the room's open door. He was sure that he hadn't imagined their animosity, given how much time he was taking away from their rightful patient and his need to heal.] And -- I hope -- that time will allow you to contemplate your emotions, and your cognitive reaction to your feelings. After all... I am confident that you have feelings, Sai.
[As Chilton made his way to the opened door, he threw back a look. It wasn't one forged in pity, but it was reactive. He searched for any reaction from Sai's face, anything that he could mirror in response.]
I only want what is healthiest for you. Mentally speaking. [A beat, and he offered a grin.] You know how to contact me.

It's only society that dictates a dress has to be for a woman. But I think more men should embrace the fact that they would look wonderful in the right type of dress.

yeah but maybe after ok?
[ He's not sure if he could actually get the words out in person. He also has a feeling he doesn't want to see the look on Sai's face if what he's read is true. ]
soooo
yknow when i came to see you in hospital after that swear in where people got hurt
and ya told me there was some kinda gas or somethin???
what happened there?
heh i kinda left too suddenly to find out for myself yknow!

[...Sai reads and rereads the text uncertainly. He has a suspicion what this might be about. Naruto hadn't asked him about that when he had come back, and while his teammate could have a short attention span, he also tended to be laser focused on anything that involved his friends.
He takes a moment to skim through the network, and--ah, there it is. He supposes he should have expected something like this, after all. If there were anyone who could extend a hand to that man, it was Uzumaki Naruto. But it still makes things difficult. Nothing at this point would convince his teammate that Crane was not his friend.]
you are really asking me about jonathan crane, arent you?
it is true, naruto
it was him
he admits to it himself, under the name scarecrow

[ Naruto wonders, briefly, if Sai cheated somehow and is actually a wizard who can see through all of Naruto's dodging and clue in on what he really wants to know without even asking. Never mind that the trail of his foolish trusting leads straight back to the network, to the string of posts involving him and Crane.
It takes him a long time to respond, but finally a reply is sent. ]
yeah i know
theres a lot of people who don't like him much now isnt there?
... i still wanna know what happened. what did he do to you?

would you have liked him much if he had done such a thing in konoha?
[Putting aside the fact that he'd be literally six feet under by now if this were Konoha. Empathy is still a fledgling experience in Sai, something that doesn't come naturally, but he compensates to some degree with his perceptiveness, his sharp and analytical mind. Sai hasn't forgotten after all, how angry Naruto had been at the mere (false) suggestion that he intended to work with Orochimaru to destroy Konoha so Danzou could rebuild it in his own image.]
he did not do anything in particular to me
the gas was released into the crowd, i was affected, kakashi-san restrained me so that i could be brought in for treatment, and i regained lucidity a few days later

[ He won't ever forget how livid he'd been with Nagato, how badly he wanted to kick the crap out of him and how much he still hated him even now, but... he still wanted to listen, is still glad he took the chance to listen.. If he hadn't he would never have understood, he wouldn't have sympathised and he wouldn't have brought Nagato any peace. He has to extend that same courtesy to Crane, even if he knows it won't sit well with most.
He'd come to Sai for the cold, hard facts; he didn't want the recollection to be a difficult one for the teller, or for them to go easy on him because of his nature. He trusted Sai to do neither of those things, and rightly so.
That said, he's not sure how to answer. ]
why would he do that?

[In a sense, Sai was still holding back, having not mentioned the precise nature of how he was affected by the gas--or namely, the hallucinations of Naruto's death. But those aren't details that he's thought particularly deeply about since the incident, nor does he find them relevant to the conversation at hand.]
crane has some manner of fixation on the concept of fear
from what i understand, he viewed the entire thing as part of his research, although what exactly he sought to accomplish i could not say
if i had to guess, it would be that he wished to see how everyone would react to his creation

yeah, i got that i just dont... get it
yknow?
noone hurt him here or made him feel like an outsider or did any of the usual stuff that sets people off
everyone here is pretty welcomin and nice
but every time he talks about it he just turns it around on me
i wanna know why
whyd he have to do it and hurt people he didnt even know

i still do not understand people very well
but i think it is probably because he could
he had the power to do so and wished to demonstrate, or perhaps test it
it would not be unheard of
uchiha itachi decimated his clan for that reason, after all

that aint it at all
thats never it
theres always something
it wasnt like that with itachi either
he did it to keep sasuke and the village safe from another war
itachi wiped out his clan before they could do anything dumb so the village would stay strong and so that his brother would have something to get stronger for
everyones got a reason
and i bet crane has one too

itachi was ordered to assassinate his clan? to become a missing-nin?
[Sai lost his birth family to war, doesn't even remember them anymore. His "brother" in Root was the closest he's had since, and those few times that he does think back on whether he would have killed him if he hadn't died of illness first, he finds he's not sure. He's not yet come to the realization that he wouldn't kill Naruto either, even for the village, so despite his limited understanding of bonds, he can only see Itachi's actions as one of supreme loyalty to Konoha.
It's a revelation Sai never would have expected; he's seen Itachi all this time to be an enemy, a threat as a member of Akatsuki. A traitor like Sasuke was. But it would seem he is the exact opposite of that.]
i do not know what cranes motivation was if it was not about power
i am not as confident as you that he had one
but if he did
if anyone could ascertain it
it would be you

yeah
his family were going to make a big fuss with the elders and the hokage
itachi had to choose them or the safety of the village and sasuke
he chose sasuke
[ He's still pretty sure that he doesn't want to think about Itachi's morals too hard. He's loyal to his village too, but he's not sure he could kill his family for it's sake. War really did bring dark times.
Sai's final words make Naruto bristle - with determination or with unease - and he actually pauses to consider his response. ]
im not gonna let him hurt anyone else
but hes got monsters to control too
i can feel it

he left sasuke alive to preserve the reputation of his clan despite their intentions to betray konoha?
[You know, Sai can actually respect that, too. After all, wasn't Root created for just such a purpose? To be the shadows doing what needed to be done, but which Konoha did not wish to attach its identity to?]
do not lower your guard, naruto
you may yet be able to make him understand your point of view
but in the meantime you are a potential test subject as well
keep that in mind whenever you speak with

yeah
the blame was all on itachi instead of the clan as a whole
his brother willingly took on everyones hatred
even sasukes hatred
to make sure konoha stayed peaceful and sasuke stayed safe
[ He's gonna choose not to mention the 'sessions' he's already had with Crane. He doesn't really think Sai will approve much. ]
i'll keep it in mind
don't worry

[Yeah, that's a good call, Naruto, because he would d e f i n i t e l y disapprove.]
i see
how did you learn this?
[That's mostly irrelevant to Crane, of course, but he's curious okay.}
once his sentence is up
he will be free to have more of that toxin made
be especially cautious then
