As an Insertion Agent, you become accustomed to unprecedented situations. You could say we often put the "precedent" in "unprecedented." But this... this took the "un" to whole new levels.
Of course, I'd known that Dropping into a cheerful spree-killing psychopath (shorthanding for a very complicated and frankly, ahem, unprecedented diagnosis) could entail a number of risks. But I'd been expecting vengeance-seeking family members, outraged willing-to-kill heroes, rival villains looking to make a name for themselves. I hadn't been expecting the target's psyche to somehow... compartmentalize me, for lack of a better term.
Granted, if you take Recursion Theory seriously (which I don't... quite), the warning signs were all there in the canon source material. Not that that helped me in this situation any.
Well... no help for it. Since all I could do was see, hear, and "talk", in a fashion, to my host... I might as well settle in and figure out how to best make use of having become Wade Wilson's Little Yellow Boxes.

(It does turn out to be a gut-wrenching experience... for the other guy in the fight at the end of the story.)
