You wonder if Cell told Pac he could choose which leg he'd lose knowing damn well it was almost worse than not giving him a choice at all? Knowing if he made Pac see himself as complicit in his own mutilation, he'd be scarring Pac's mind almost as badly as the attack itself?
#i talk#This is not me angst-mongering this is me genuinely being like 🤔 ''Hmm''#I think Cell and Cellbit are both clever guys (though Fuga Cell was more inclined to violence)#But they both know how to get in people's heads#That being said I personally think Pac lost his leg because of infection#Like I think Cell mauled him but didn't necessarily EAT eat him#I won't go into too many graphic details but think by the end of it Pac's leg was just so wrecked / infected it couldn't be saved#So they had to amputate it#Cell definitely wanted revenge for the betrayal but I do wonder if making Pac lose his leg was the plan or just a side-effect#I don't think Cell cared either way#Though if Pac is retconning things saying Cell ASKED which leg he wanted to lose I guess that was the plan from the start#qsmp talk#well#Fuga talk#more like but I don't have a tag for that#Much to think about#Ask to tag#anyways how do you think THAT would contribute to Pac's horrible lack of self-worth and self-loathing problems?
