*TOSHIRO SHINTARU *
We arrived at the hospital and Mitsuru seems alright with everything. I'm glad he's co-operating, but I'm surprised that he is. Sayuri came with us but looks sceptical about Mitsuru's strange behievour.
I told the doctor about his mental health, but the doctor looked very nervous and worried. He kept looking back and forth at Mitsuru and me.
"May I talk to you sir?" I agreed and walked outside with him. Leaving Mitsuru and Sayuri alone.
Apparently, the doctor wanted to tell me that, a child couldn't possibly have a mental disorder and that they're isn't anyone at the hospital qualified to take care of it.
*SAYURI SCHREIBER *
Me and Mitsuru were left behind, when the doctor went to talk with Mr Shintaru. I don't know what that was all about?
I looked at Mitsuru, who is sitting patiently on the bed, and kicking his legs in delight. I stood up infront of him, he looked up with an evil smile.
"Who are you?.." I asked firmly. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what, so I asked him this to get further information.
"Oh!~... That's an interesting question..." he sounded amused.
I stood there confused, he couldn't possibly...
"...I'm Mitsuru... Fukuyama."
"But you're not, are you?"
He looked at himself, trying to confirm it. "I'm pretty sure I am..."
"You have a split personality... Don't you?" I never even thought about it, but when Mitsuru mentioned it to me (back at the pool), that's when it hit me.
"Hehehehehehe...! Oh, so you figured it out, huh?... You're pretty clever. I have always been inside Mitsuru, ...However, he doesn't know I exist... I was always there... in his pain... and his despair!"
I was shocked, it was like I wasn't even talking to Mitsuru anymore... He's like a complete stranger! His eyes pierced into mine, his tone of voice was more shady... He is not Mitsuru....
"Hehehe●○°□▪°hahahaHAHAHA°▪●°○□HAHA!!!" He started laughing maliciously. "Oh!... I love despair!" He raised his hands up, and brushed his hair back with his fingers. "... He loved her soooo much!!... Then fell, into despair when she did that to him...!"
Is he talking about Mahiru's death? I wanted to ask more questions but Mr Shintaru heard his cackle and ran all the way here.
"What happened?!" Shintaru yelled as he entered through the doors.
Mr Shintaru seemed tired, and I didn't want to trouble him any further... so, I let it go. "Nothing..."
In the end, we left the hospital with nothing that could help Mitsuru except a few medications to ease his mind. Instead of going back to the campsite, we arrived back to the hotel resort.

I woke up, it seems like it's midday. I didn't remember that I went to sleep on Mitsuru's bed last night. I woke up due to the nostalgic smell, from Mitsuru's bed... it smells so nice...
I got up straight away and right infront of me, was Mitsuru staring at me... His eyes penetrating through my soul... The restlessness of his eyes, made me assume that he was awake all night. I felt so scared... at first, I thought it was actually him, but once I looked at his devilish eyes... he is not Mitsuru...!
"What?... What are you doing?!"
"What do you think?... yeah... I've been staring at you for three hours."
"What?! Are you crazy?!" There's no need for you to answer that, but I seriously don't understand why he ended up like this?...
"Well, of course... I was just sittin' here, wondering what I should do with you..."
That disgusting pervert! Why isn't the real Mitsuru here?!... I felt so ashamed that this guy is imagining something so cruel!
"Get lost! I want Mitsuru!" I yelled, but his eyes grew wide, and he smirked.
"Oh...~" He leaned over to me, his chest pressed on to mine, my heart was beating so fast, I felt my face burning hot. "What do we have here?~... A little princess in love..!~" He snickered then said, "Don't make me laugh!... I'm here now, princess...! And Misturu.... is never coming back!!"
I gasped softly, as he chuckled. I was frightened! He kept coming in closer and closer, to my lips... I can't! It's a sin!
"...oh, I bet Mitsuru would never do this to you..." He wouldn't anyway... Because he isn't a dirty perv!
I know my limits! I pushed him away from me and shouted, "Stay away from me!"
He looked at me in shock, but the smiled, saying, "That's probably why I chose not to do it..."
Wasn't he planning to do... that while I was sleeping?! I don't understand... This guy is worser than Mitsuru! He would never do something so sinful like this!
"You're a bitch..!" Well, that's something Mitsuru always used to say...
I got out of bed, and walked out of the room, I was surprised when I heard a huge noise of chatter... Did everyone come back quickly?... but why?!
*HASHIBA MAEHARA *
I barely slept last night and right in the morning we had to get up and go back to the hotel! I'm very pissed right now! And I really want to give Mitsuru a piece of my mind! I've been having painful migraines since!
"Sayuri! Where have you been?! You ran off into the forest and never returned!" I heard Yusari's voice through the crowd. I pushed through and saw, both, Yusari and Sayuri.
"Sayuri! Where's Mitsuru?!" I yelled, I was so pissed that I couldn't help but let it out on her.
She already looked terrified. "Maehara... Are you ok?..." She seemed stunned how I suddenly approached her and grabbed her shoulders in anger.
"No!"
"Of course not... Why even ask?" I looked towards the door, I couldn't recognise the voice, but I was surprised to see Mitsuru.
Even his appearance is unrecognisable! He was smiling like a psychopath! He glared down at me in glee... is he really that happy to see me so angry...?
"What's wrong with you, Mitsuru?.." Yusari asked politely, but my I couldn't control myself.
"F*ck it! I'm f*cking pissed at this asshole!" I grabbed his shirt and screamed at his ruthless face. "What's wrong with you, f*cking psycho?!"
"Maehara, stop! You don't understand!" Sayuri detested.
"Shut up! I don't care!"
"He's not who you think he is!"
"What?.." I turned my face toward her, but I heard a wicked, twisted laugh from behind me.
"Hahahahahahaha!!!" We all looked at him as if he's a stray dog howling in the night. "I'm a f*cking psycho!? What do you know?!~... Everyone's crazy! All they need is a little push!" He patted my shoulder, which made me shiver.
"Mitsuru... Who are you?" Yusari had her eyes wide as she asked in disbelief.
"As a kid... I was always afraid of monsters..." he completely dodged the question. "But now... I realise.. humans are much scarier!!... Don't you think so?... Even people close to you, can stb you in your sleep...! Life is very dangerous... And only psychos... Like me are dangerous... Because I know... how to make hell feel like home...!"
I didn't know what to say...looking at him, made me feel like... This guy..Isn't Mitsuru!...
"What?.." Yusari seemed as more worried than shocked.
"Sorry! That's it! I forgot Mitsuru's medication!" Sayuri barged in and pushed Mitsuru into his room. Then closed the door behind her.
*SAYURI SCHREIBER *
"Mitsuru! Who do you think you are?!" I yelled at him as he sat on the bed.
"...I'm sure you already know..."
He doesn't get it... He's acting as if he doesn't give a shit!
I sighed, "You've been causing so much trouble for me! Do you have any idea?!"
"Oh no... you must be going through so much."
I growled in anger. I just couldn't take it ANYMORE! He's horrible!
Since this morning, I've been breathing through alcoholic air! I went over to the dressing table, I took out two tablets and handed them over to him.
I didn't say anything to him, because I didn't want to hear his response. "Huh? What's this?"
"Drugs." I said sarcastically, but I weren't lying...
"That's nice but I don't like forcibly swallowing minicule pills down my throat."
I saw a bottle of water on one of the bedside tables, grabbed it and gave it to him.
"Take it!"
"No! I don't wanna!" He declined like a baby. I didn't want this, I wanted the old Mitsuru back.. The one who loved my singing, even though he doesn't know what it means...
I like that Mitsuru... Not him!
I felt curious, so I asked about his origin... "Why are you here...?"
He looked up at me, in a frightful delight. It took him a while to answer,..."I was always here...and I'll always be here... inside him."
"Then, why now?" I asked.
"Didn't you see Misturu screaming around, like a maniac, last night...?"
I did..but I didn't undrstand why he did that in the middle of the night...?
"What happened to Mitsuru last night? Do you know?..."
"Yes... but I won't tell you."
"Why?" I demanded it off him.
"Because... It's his secret, he decides whether or not he wants you to know... I can't..."
He made a good point, despite the fact he's a different person inside Mitsuru's body...
"Then..what are you?"
"I'm Mitsuru's darkness...I've always been there, he thought certain things because of me... The first time I came out, was when Mahiru betrayed Mitsuru for the first time.."
Mitsuru's sister betrayed him...how? I thought Mahiru was his saviour. It just seems to me that I don't know Mitsuru at all...
"Wait... wasn't it because of Mahiru's suicide that made Mitsuru react like that?-"
"What?! Pfft! Hahaha!!" I don't understand, what I said wrong? But I looks like he's mocking me. "Is that what you think?"
I nodded, because I was embarrassed for misunderstanding him. My hands were feeling sweaty for holding the pills for too long. I sighed and handed it over to him. "Here, just take it.."
"You're awfully interested in Mitsuru...huh"
"Huh?! It's not like that!-"
He swallowed the pills with water, without me realising it, then he looked back at me.
"You're lucky..." I looked at him, confused, but he stared at me with sincerity in his eyes.
"Why....?"
"Because you're in love with Mitsuru..."
In...love?! I can't! I mustn't! "What?! No!-"
"Don't deny it..! I know you like him..." he said playfully, but then started being serious. "The thing you did last night...Nobody else would've done it... you were there for him in his darkest moments... Because of your beautiful singing...I couldn't make Misturu despise you, or feel skeptical of you... I really loved your voice..."
I felt my heart burst as he smiles purely into my eyes. "But! I-... I only did that as a friend..." I said bashfully.
"Yeah right.... Even Mitsuru knew that you like him..."
"What?! No way!"
"He's lucky.." he leaned on his shoulder, looking drowsy. "I wanted to fall in love... But I never thought Mitsuru would love you." It seemed that his medications were kicking in.
"But.. he doesn't."
He yawned. "I...love you... Sayuri... But I can't...have you..." He laid down on the bed and fell asleep.
That was the first time...Mitsuru's darkness...said my name. But after everything he just said... I'm feeling very nervous about my emotions... I just don't know...
To be continued. . .
