[White room]
"Oh, it's you Jodan." The one who said that was none other than my other-self. I had already learned that he has a name. He likes being called Dercy. Whether or not I'll call him by this name was indeed my decision. Rather than calling him by my clone or something else I chose this one.
"I'm here again."
"You seemed not surprised or in agony." Dercy was in the same position.
"Im kinda used to it by now. This is my subconscious mind after all. So, you're still chained? I thought you might have freed yourself."
"Is that supposed to be a joke?"
"No, I'm serious."
"Well, not until you help me." I see. That I guess. He can't free himself.
"Look Jodan, you got so much hurt." He glazed at the holograms that former in front of me.
"These people hurt you so many times that you might have lost that count. You got scars that would never heal. I...I pity you Jodan."
I took a look at the holograms. All there was just my memories. The memories that hurt me. The memories I wanted to erase from my heart. The betrayal that I didn't want to believe. The things that boil my blood. Every single one of my sorrowful moments was present there.
"Take a close look! Who do you think did something for you? Did anyone do anything for you?" I couldn't help but think again and again. "Mr. Heriss did.."
"No! He just wanted your powers to be in his use. This was his intention from the beginning." No matter how much I think I never found anyone.
"No one. You found no one because there wasn't one." Dercy was emitting blood as he talks.
"You wanted to help others? You weak one? To be precise, others had to save you. You never ever had anyone to save, Jodan."
"That's….that's… "
"You know it too well. It was because you are WEAK! Jodan, you can't even save Jessica who you love. What the heck did you do with your life? Always fear for losing your life, always live in despair. Do you still want this life?"
He was certainly right. In my life, I had never stepped forward for once. All I did was hide my ass in shadows. Why was I feel so much scared? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?
"Tell me Jodan. What did you do in the pathetic life that could make you call yourself a person? I'm not saying humans or monsters, I'm saying a person. That could be either of them."
Dercy had his hands shaken. Every bit of his body was throbbing as if he was in much pain. I could feel his pain as I was in that same condition.
"Those people never thought of you as a person they think you as a tool. A powerhouse. A mere tool that was dangerous. The detectives, the members of Thirsty Wolves they just wanted to take you and use you."
I had my gaze down at the shiny floor. "Look up Jodan, do you still trust those humans?" The holograms changed to Mr. Lukas and other police officers. I was able to grasp it as my attention turned to it. "They didn't even bother to listen to you. If only they listened to your part of the story and trust a bit of it, you might have been released. You might have been wandering outside freely." Do you still don't understand, Jodan?" Seeing the torture scene of Mr. Lukas rampaging his chainsaw at me brought tears to my eyes. "You aren't fit to be in this world. You were not taken by both humans and Monsters. It might be wrong to say that Mr. Heriss did say to stay with him. But what were his real intentions, you know it better than me."
"This isn't the Jodan I knew. The Jodan I knew--"
The hologram changed to my pasts. "Stop! Don't show it."
"Why? Because it's the real you? The Jodan who I know? The Jodan that the world didn't have any clue?" He certainly had got through me.
"Stop! It."
"What a lovely picture of your mother, Jodan! This woman--"
"I said stop!"
"Jodan, take the key, be yourself. Show the world who is you! Reveal the Jodan that was born to be a monster."
Somehow I had the key in my hand. "It's time Jodan, Be yourself. The one that would surprise the world."
"I don't need the keys," within a minute I crushed the chained with my power.

[…..]
A wind of gust flew out of my body. A dark yet scary mist was forming around me. I finally did it. This was the very moment I was waiting. At last. My plan succeed.
I could see the 'Thirsty Wolves' in front of me. I broke the chained with just a twist of my hand. The chained broke as if it was just a cookie, rubbing my hands as it was swollen from the chain, I inhaled a deep breath. It's been ages, I even forgot how to move those hands. Those losers. What a pain. I have to clear them up. Those low-level mobs didn't give much of hp.
"I...hate... humans…"
"So am I." Kurama eagerly replied to his saying.
But the second sentence hit the bell.
"Also...the ..other….kinds…"
"What? the hell are you talking Jodan?" Kurama turned hurriedly.
I finally looked up and averted my downcasted glazes to Kurama directly. "Who's Jodan? I'm Dercy." This had shocked the entire army of Kurama.
