It took me an embarrassingly long time to regain control of my emotions. Once I'd managed that, I exited my room and decided to do what I usually did-find someone to hang out with. Someone that wasn't Byakuya, Hina or Sakura...The list of conversation candidates keeps shrinking.

I ended up getting jumped by Jill. Toko must have sneezed or something between breakfast and now.

"Hey, Ryo Kurokiba! What should we talk about today?!" Ryo Kurokiba...? That's an anime reference, isn't it?

I sighed. "Can you just drop the nickname?" I moved to walk past, but Jill seemed to be in a talkative mood. How fun. There are so many morally ambiguous people in this school, aren't there? A serial killer and a criminal, not to mention the mastermind's tool and people who sympathize with traitors...And there's Byakuya...

"What's wrong!? You don't wanna talk to me?!"

"Fine. Then, when-or rather, why-were you created?"

"Huh? The hell you tryin' to say?!" You're the one who started this conversation! Don't start getting aggressive!

"What caused you and Toko to split into two separate consciousnesses?" I explained.

"Who knows? I don't remember the how or the why of it! Not everything's got a big dramatic backstory to it! Maybe it was just a coincidence or bad timing or some other nonsense!"

"Coincidence? Not likely."

"Maybe living in a repressed modern society caused an unexpected reaction to bubble up. And maybe that reaction just so happened to be me! And since it was a reaction to that repressed society, my personality became the total opposite of that! The other 'me' is a total downer, right? So that would make me...Well, what do you think? Quiz time! Hope you've been brushing up on your Japanese! Kyeehahaha! Did the boot heel of passion just kick down the back door to your brain?!" So now I have to do a quiz? The opposite of a downer? Who the hell cares?

"Hmm? You gonna answer?"

"Don't know, don't care."

"Kyeehahaha! It's genki! Genki! Hammer that one into your brain! Or would you like me to carve it in blood?" Jill pulled out her scissors to accent this.

"No, I'll pass."

"As a response to that emotional black hole, an energetic supernova was born! She just wants to read her stuffy classics all day, but give me a good erotic thriller and I'm set! Anyway, we're not all that special. Anyone could have that weird reaction, ya know? I mean hell, the human mind itself is basically its own split personality!"

"Disregarding whether or not that last statement is true, DID isn't that common, you know?"

"No, it's true! Why else would headlines be filled with stories of murder, theft, fraud, all that crap! To turn away from that truth is to turn the aggressor into the victim! So why do it!? Embrace it, and indulge your consciousness the way you've always wanted to! I'm not as twisted as you might think! You and me both gaze at the same horizon, don't we?"

"This conversation has gone more than a little off track..."

"You seem to be totally lacking genki, so let me give some words of wisdom to lift your spirits! Even a monkey can fall out of a tree, hit its head, slip into a coma, and die! Kyeehahaha!"

Jill ran off, satisfied with the conversation. I made the most intelligent comment I could. "What the hell is wrong with her?"

Rather than trying to answer that impossible question, I walked off in search of someone slight;y more...sane. Fortunately I encountered Makoto.
