To tell the truth, Motan at this moment was feeling quite conflicted...
There was no 'person' in the cell, but some kind of strange and bizarre traces, something he had already heard about from Yu Chen and Tero. He had been prepared and speculated about the current situation.
If the monster that resembled himself was indeed 'that side's' true form, then it shouldn't possibly exist in the Realm of Innocence at this time point where he was still online. As for why its offline state wasn't like other common players, leaving no trace, but instead was a twisted mass of black mist, Motan had no clue. However, he knew that if that was indeed a sort of 'self,' nothing would be too strange, no matter what happened.
But he still harbored a glimmer of hope.
What if the monster Yu Chen and the others had caught wasn't 'himself'?
What if the fragmented memories of a few hours each day were just a side effect of his atypical personality split?
