Mozaik Role: When They Collide

Chapter 4: Mozaik Role

Megumi: ...

//At a distance, sitting down, staring at Gumi

//Stares right back at Megumi in slight fear while holding on to her own right shoulder

Gumi: ...

Megumi: Isn't it strange... That not just too long ago, you got hit and received a huge cut that you did not even feel at all. Then when I came along and forcefully gripped on said arm, you felt more than just a sting, am I correct?

Gumi: ...

Megumi: Am I correct?

Gumi: Y-Yeah...

Megumi: Hm... Well with that being said, let me ask you this...

"Was that the first time you ever felt pain?"

Gumi: ...Pain?

Megumi: ...

//Sigh

Megumi: Listen, I get that you are still in shock but what has been happening lately, and hell, I know that you don't know anything about what I'm asking you because to keep it simple... You can't remember anything. So tell me, from what you can gather, why can't you feel pain? Hm?

Gumi: Why... I mean for all I know... I was born unable to feel pain or any of that. Even if I do tell you from what I can gather of most, there's no point to if you know exactly the reason why... Not even... Not even I know what I am or what you are or in what kind of world I live... I just, don't know for certain...

Megumi: ...

//Sighs deeply

Megumi: Very well... Might as well...

Gumi: Huh?

Megumi: Here's the thing. You do have the inability to feel pain, any kind of pain... Thing is you weren't born that way.

Gumi: W-What do you mean?

Megumi: What I mean is about that letter from the other morning... You know, the one you crumpled up and threw away.

Gumi: Let- I was at home that time... How do you know about that letter?

Megumi: Well you could've at least read it you know... Even if it was some guy you don't know when in actually you should... You know there are some cases whe-

Gumi: Just who are you. How do you know where I live. How do you know who I am? More than yet... How is that you so much about me and so much about my past that you go as far enough as to look just identical like me... And I know too far enough to know that I don't have any known siblings and relatives.

Megumi: ...

Gumi: So tell me before I just lost it... Who and what are you?

Megumi: ...

Megumi: Answer's quite simple Megpoid...

"I am you..."

Gumi: ...

Gumi: What...?

Megumi: ...

//Clenches left fist

Megumi: You and I were once part of the same entity. You and I were once the same Megpoid Gumi. And yes, that was our true name before you ask.
