Welcome one and all to another installment of Getting To Know Your Mad Scientist! In this edition, we will be discussing the topic of What On Earth Were You Thinking? in regards to the most recent plot between Stein and Ayanami and any other person who may or may not be effected by this sort of thing. (It's mostly here to help me keep track of wtf Stein was thinking where and stuff.)
: SPOILERS FOR 07-GHOST.

( Can I help you? )And now we've arrived at the point in time where the real action happens!
( Nothing's permanent here... )And thus, the time of healing starts. Except it's a lot more difficult with injuries most people can't see.
( I appreciate the offer, but you'll understand that I'll turn it down in favor of nursing the wound myself. )Of course during all of this, Stein has several encounters that makes people ask him what happened, who dun it, and all the other fun things that he just
doesn't want to talk about.
( As for who attacked me... another person with the ability to view and manipulate souls. )As you can tell, it got pretty complicated pretty fast! But there is one good side to it that could also be a bad side to it, I guess.
( ...You haven't told me what choice you've made. )Aaaaand, I think I explained everything necessary. That's where we're at right now, and things are getting interesting and fun! Stein's being his stubborn self and pretending all is well to anyone and everyone who wants to believe it when he's really unraveling at the seams and doesn't really know how to make things stop snowballing. Especially in regards to his own sanity. The other things... with someone like Jack in the know, it means there's someone
capable of thinking coherently to help out with planning what to do in regards to Ayanami.
But of course, there's always the temptation Stein has to just let himself collapse completely and let Ayanami win. But just like when he fought against Insanity because he believed Medusa would win if he didn't, he'll fight back against the damage done to him and the insanity that got a boost up because of it.
Amd this has been another addition of What On Earth Were You Thinking? I can't say that I was very coherent about anything I mentioned here, but if you have any questions or comments, feel free to make them I'll try my best to be more coherent! (It's hard to be coherent about explaining a mad scientist's thoughts when he's really in a not happy place mentally durdurdur.)
