David throws himself against the bars of the cage, again and again. Maniacally. Madly. He hears Bourne taunt him from above, barely able to see his face. His voice infuriatingly calm, the way it's always been. Did he think he'd actually hurt the freak at all? Bourne wasn't human. He couldn't be. And he was right, this was his fault. He'd been weak. Weak not to kill Bourne the moment he had the chance, the moment he was down. Now he would pay the ultimate price for that weakness.
< No... no... >
David's frenzied screams die down to bitter sobs as he throws himself against the bars until he's too tired to move anymore. Then he just... withdraws. Sinks back into the rat mind, lets it take over. He's too tired to fight it back now.
Maybe too tired to fight it back ever.
The rat's mind is familiar, and that's the worst part. It's like an old friend, welcoming him back. An old friend he wanted to leave and couldn't. And now he'll let it welcome him back, because it's all he has left.
