My headcanon for my SWTOR imperial agent is that the hallucinations never really went away after he broke free from the mind control — he suffered some irreversible neurological damage in the process, which he just never told anyone about. The hallucinations eventually settled as something predictable tho (this is a scifi video game headcanon it doesn’t have to be realistic) where he sees/hears Jadus when someone is trying to influence him via the force, Watcher X when shit hits the fan during a mission and he needs to focus on being coldly analytical and pushing his emotions aside, and he sees Hunter when someone is lying to him or trying to manipulate him. It’s basically how his subconscious warns him when something feels wrong.

So one day after he’s joined the alliance he walks into his quarters and Hunter is just sitting there like « hey babe, missed me? » but Cypher just figures it’s an hallucination again, business as usual, so he ignores him and gets himself a drink and tries to think about why his paranoia is making him think he’s being manipulated this time

And Hunter is like « lol okay silent treatment, rude »

Until Theron walks in and is like WHOMST. THE FUCK. IS THAT????

And that is how Cypher Nine finds out that Hunter is back from the dead
