Me: W-Who are you? Where are you?
???: Nowhere and somewhere.
Me: Not. Funny. Who are you?
???: The darkness that's inside of you.
Me: I'm really confused about what you mean.
???: Just call me your dark side.
Me: Okay, Dark Me. How did this happen?
Dark Me: The darkness is dark and dark dark is darkness and dark side is dark side.
Me: So you can finally string words together to make sentences, and they're still sh*t.
Dark Me: Bullsh*t. Like I said, the darkness is dark.
Me: Still doesn't make ANY sense.
Dark Me: Well, how do I put this. You know the pain you feel, right?
Me: Why wouldn't I be?
Dark Me: Well... Your pain created me.
Me: So, you're trying to tell me that you're my pain that I feel?
Dark Me: Basically.
Me: Why am I here?
Dark Me: Well, it's kind of hard to explain.
Me: You wanted me to see you?
Dark Me: Not really. I know your past, and I know you. You're me, but not me.
Me: Confusing, but I kind of know what you mean. I'm the real you, but I'm not the pain?
Dark Me: Basically.
Me: How are you here? That's my question.
Dark Me: Well, it's really hard to explain why or how. Most of the time I'm not here. It's always been dreams. Visions. But then The Incident happened.
Me: I do feel bad about that.
Dark Me: Can you let me talk?
Me: I'll shut it.
Dark Me: Anyways, after The Incident, I was formed. A lonely shadow. A small house in a big city. It was all I was for a while, until what happened with dad. I became stronger, because I'm the pain you feel. I know what happened with that kid. Everyone said he disappeared, but that's not even close to what happened.
Me: What did happen, then?
Dark Me: Let's just say, you did time for something that I did.
Me: Y-you KILLED him?
Dark Me: I wouldn't say "killed." I'd say it was more "save yourself from me."
Me: That doesn't make ANY sort of sense.
Dark Me: Well, let's say he's still around, just one arm short.
Me: So YOU did it. YOU framed ME for that shit. You're the monster, not me.
Dark Me: You know, you're right. I AM the monster. That's all I was from the start. You don't have any power without me.
Me: I don't WANT power. What I DO want is a fresh start. That's all mom wants me to do. Forget the past, and look ahead.
Dark Me: Face it, Bosque Esmeralda. You can't run from the past. The past will ALWAYS come back.
Me: I don't want anything bad to happen again.
Dark Me: Let's see. You know what happened to dad, right? Because, well, I remember. Clear as day.
Me: He died of a car accident. He was flung from it. The other driver was drunk.
