[ the words freeze up in his throat, and he knows Newt can hear this. He knew he'd been with them, but how he left was complete different. He'll keep it vague enough, for now. ]
I was on the team, before they wiped me. I don't remember much, but there's flashes. Enough I know it wasn't that simple. I've seen the world outside, too. If a cure was that easy, they'd have done it a long time ago.
