[Aha. So that was the reason behind the rebellion against Heaven. Rei purses her lips slightly to herself, bothered. Fate was fate -- destiny could never be truly altered, no matter how many times Castiel insisted that it could. But lying about trying to stop the Apocalypse, being hand-fed along, only to be betrayed...

Rei would have done the same thing, she realizes in slight annoyance, miffed by the circumstances. But Castiel is still talking to her, and Rei shrugs a little.]

I don't think you'll ever know for sure -- but if you managed fine until that point, then I think you probably got past it. Purgatory is what pushed you towards what you did, not the... reprogramming.

[Saying it like that is positively revolting, but Rei doesn't want to just out and say the word 'torture' when he prefers the other way. And the idea that they would use torture on their own family -- not just allies, or soldiers, but family -- makes Rei a special sort of infuriated.]

I'd trap them all and teach them a lesson if I could. -- and, you know, Raphael is here.
