"Why would we need to join these people? They are just going to be a weight in our fight." Sinzu shouts
"Calm down, We also need to plan. It seems these people are good ones. They even help you heal." Althea says while checking her items.
"Agreed, Plus we have to make sure that David won't escape this time." Chris agreed while checking his weapons.
Sinzu felt lost for the majority's decision.
He just sits on the other side of the bed, looking at the marks David did to him.
Chris and Althea are worried that it would cost him to be more aggressive since David shows himself finally.
"I know you are planning to fight him as well, But please remember that he is still our friend." Althea says by looking at Chris.
"I won't kill him, I promise." Chris promises before he gets interrupted by Sinzu's shouts."You guys really are soft, aren't you? David, I mean Liam kills hundreds of people! He is a maniac that we need to stop. He is not the David we have before. That old David is already dead."
"Yes he is!, It's because we made him like an outcast! Because we treat him like the one who starts off the problem without knowing what he really felt!" Chris shouts back.
Sinzu clinches his fist, "How do you know?, You are also one of the guys who made him who he is now! You are supposed to be his Best Friend! You're supposed to be the one knowing him more than us!" He shouts.
Chris' stands and Althea tries to stop the two from arguing but to no avail as Chris begins to shout back, " I know!, It's my fault! I'm an immature person that time!, I'm jealous on what he got!, I only got a fucking curse! I admit it! He is my childhood friend, but I left him!"
"Finally!, Your weak ass can't really tell us the fact that all the start comes from you! David is my friend who cherishes me, laughs with me, celebrates with me!, It supports me and makes me feel like I'm his brother, but he is dead! That David who now calls himself Liam is the result of our faults! The only solution is by killing him!" Sinzu shouts back.
Chris can't take it and punch Sinzu making him fall on the floor. Chris sits at him and punches him. "killing isn't the answer, I know he's still in that body! He is alive! Take those words!" Chris shouts, still punching Sinzu.
Sinzu kicks Chris, pushing him away and turning the tables around where Sinzu is the one punching Chris.
"You bastard!, You know he is inside there, and he is suffering!" Sinzu shouts!
"You don't know that!, You killed your brother in your hands! All you know is killing." Chris shouts.
Sinzu began to beat him up even more.
Chris tried to defend but was getting beaten more. After sometime, Sinzu was about to kick Chris, but the door burst open and closed. They look around only to find out Althea is missing.
Sinzu stops and stands, Helping Chris to get up. "Look, I'm sorry that I want to kill him so bad. Please respect my decision. It's also hard for me to do it, But that's what David is telling me." Chris apologize.
Althea runs outside with his clothes all packed, only to see Ryan sitting alone in the corner. His head was on his knees and he couldn't move. He looks up when Althea comes near him. She kneels at his level and grabs his shoulder.
"Ryan? Are you okay?" She asked.
"No. I just lost my Best friend." Ryan replies.
This makes Althea confused, as she thought David and Ryan are tight friends.
"How is that so?, You guys are more than Best friends." Althea says.
"I know, It's just because I'm so selfish. I didn't even think of how he would react to his decisions. He just let it all out in front of me." Ryan says crying.
Althea sits beside him. "You know, My David is the same as yours. He is the type of guy who would cheer you out and shows how he cherishes everyone around him. But besides those smiles are the hidden cries and hidden thoughts he couldn't take. He didn't show it to everyone. One day, I saw him wake up earlier than everyone. He removes his clothes and takes a bath in the spring, He submerges and shouts everything underwater. I know because of the bubbles. He often sits in the rocks after, crying. In a few minutes, he would take his clothes back and fake everything, he starts to cook and let out a fake expression in front of us. He sure is good at it. It's just that we become selfish and traumatic that when we know that his future self did everything to us, we instantly turn away from him. He couldn't take it that time that he began to wake up late, sometimes his thoughts are just empty. He also began to change that he doesn't even use his power anymore. Furthermore, he is just scared that he thinks it's a curse. Furthermore, he began to be treated as just comrade, and it's because we didn't treat him as a friend." Althea tells Ryan.
"Wow that's too much for you to take." Ryan replies. "But he hates me. All he thinks of me now is his Master and not a friend."
Althea hugs him."That's why you need to resolve your problems. Don't let your friend lose the same as ours."
Ryan thanks him and rushes to where David is standing. Althea is left in the wall and began to cry. She remembers the time she has with David.
"Isn't this a new one? You're telling our story now." Liam appeared out of nowhere.
Althea did his fighting stance after seeing Liam, but Liam didn't fight and instead hugs her that startled Althea. "Thank you so much Althea, You are really a good friend. Stop crying now, I always cherish my memories with all of you." Liam hugs her tightly before disappearing.
