[NOOOOOO ROSAMUND!!!! SHE'S SO SWEET and he is delighted to be scooped into a hug, even if it's with an unhinged air of optimism. He hugs her in return!! And pats her back so reassuringly!]
Oh, there's no need to look so sad! You all did your very best, I'm sure of it. And everyone is so strong that I'm equally sure they'll all feel perfectly fine in no time at all!
[Just like him! A perfectly fine-feeling normal lad!]
Oh, well, we went home! And then got caught up in a bit of trouble here and there, and ended up being experimented on for a bit, but at least I was able to get my mother out of there! We died, once or twice I believe? But everything worked out perfectly well in the end, considering we're all back in one piece!
[The demented optimism continues to shine through...]
Okay, none of what you said at all matches the tone you said it with. [Given how distraught he'd been over his Mother alone. Even when he'd approached with offers to euthanize the newly returned, he hadn't been peppy about it.]

What experiment was it?

It wasn't just one experiment, but a true plethora. Not sure what information that person was trying to glean, but he took us apart very thoroughly!
[He is radiating an aura of beatific saintly forgiveness!]

Dahut, that's not good. That's terrifying. Can't Scien help put you back the way you were?
no subject
What do you mean? I'm perfectly wonderful, all in one piece!

This blind optimism thing isn't good, and it's not you.
