Kouchisei found it easier to think of seeing his father again - returning to school - that to admit he'd harboured murderous intent. He didn't want to kill them! How could they think that? Was it this hospital? No, it was safe. A doctor helped people. The Hippocratic Oath. Killing was anathema. And now that other self he'd seen was standing by the door.
"... Move aside. I don't need you."
The Other Kouchisei remained silent. He looked at his other self, and then the others in the operating theatre.
"... I'm pissed off," it said. "That bastard Reizo hits you once and you give up? Well, I'm sure that's ingratitude. And now you're feeding them some bullshit about being a moron when the truth is they were never convincing enough for you. You just want to use their power. That's really nice. Well done."
