"This is getting old now boy. You haven't managed to lay a single scratch on me. And most of all, you've already reached your limit for a while now. This is the one time I'll show you mercy. Give up now Xinrei, before I kill you"

Trsitin gave Xinrei a chance to give up, but of course he refused.

"..Why are you doing all of this anyway? I lost my father months ago, but you didn't see me going around killing innocent people for revenge.."

"Ahh, but you so easily forgot that you couldn't even control your own emotions or powers, and nearly killed yourself and destroyed that planet with most of your family on it in the process. Am I right, or did I leave something out?"

"..."

"..This is where you and I differ Xinrei. You had a support system to help you when you were broken. I, however, did not. My own family destroyed what I created, and nobody was there to help me through it. I can't go back in time to save who I've lost, and neither could you. But then again, you didn't lose your father, did you?"

"And..what about your son? Your wife may be gone, but what if your son isn't..?"

Upon mentioning his son, Tristin attacked Xinrei again and sent him flying across the room.

Completely forgetting about Renjun, he approached the boy and stood above him, holding his Keyblade against his throat.

"Don't you dare speak of him. Tayden was my pride and joy, and he was taken from me just like Ruby. Of course I don't know if he's alive. He disappeared when I went to bury him next to his mother. Even if he was alive, I would never want to see him again"

"And why is that...?"

"Use your puny head Xinrei! Why do you think I don't want to see him again?! Have you lost that much common sense over these past six months?!"

Xinrei looked into Tristin's eyes as he yelled at him, and he noticed something familiar about the man.

Just like Tayden, his eyes changed as if he too had a split personality like Jeno and Jeongho had once predicted. His looked exactly like Tayden's would whenever Li took over.

"You're..like him.."

"What??"

"You have a Tristin side, and a Li side.. You have a split personality like he does.."

"...How do you know about that?"

When he asked that, one of his eyes changed back to normal due to his shock.

"...Tayden has a Li side, just like you do"

"KEEP HIS NAME OUT OF YOUR MOTUH YOU BRAT!!"

Tristin yelled, striking Xinrei with his blade with the intent to kill him.

But he ended up striking the floor instead of Xinrei, realizing that he had miraculously disappeared.

"Maybe it would be best to listen to others before you just decide to kill them"

Tristin felt chills go down his spine once he heard the voice he didn't want to hear, realizing he had gotten distracted and completely forgot about why he was there in the first place.

He turned around and saw Renjun standing a few meters behind him, wide awake and holding Xinrei in his arms.

"D-Dad..."
