After the party, Will went home and fortunately didn’t get kidnapped. Aside from the lack of funds, he lives quite a nice life. He lives with his mother, and his father left them a couple of years back. Due to his manners, he’s the man of his house and does things usually the father does. But aside from the fact that Will is fatherless and goes with his mother’s surname of Faith, he is quite a normal person outside of work. His mother doesn’t know his work and if she did, she wouldn’t believe it and just brush it off as one of Will’s lies. And he often lies out of sticky situations.
*the next day*
“Well, then. Let’s get this thing over with.”
*after school*
“Well, then. Let’s get this thing over with.”
“Mate, why are you like this? Often you talk to yourself. And what’s the reason behind your psychopathy anyway?”
“Well, you see, I lie a lot. And if it isn’t convincing enough, it wouldn’t be a good lie, would it? As for the psychopathy, I just borrowed it from my ancestors. My father was a well disguised psychopath and my mother has a small thing in her that enables her to get fixated to anything she desires. I have both of it and some schizophrenia so I got this type of psychopathy. Speaking of, why did you join the 51? I heard you could’ve chosen to go without a parent in the outside world.”
“In the 51 doctrine, especially in 51-3 doctrine, there is a rule that states, unless it’s necessary, you only use the bare minimum in any situation. As that, we wouldn’t just spit on the ones who brought us up. That’s why we didn’t leave. I heard there were people who went to the outside world – one example being someone named “Eisenhower Heisenberg” who became a great public speaker and lector and he teaches at the State University.”
“I see. So, you could’ve become someone famous and you chose to be an accountant?”
“Well, yes. And keep in mind; I used to get paid 8.5 zips when I worked under the previous CO named Diane of 51-3. Speaking of, is Liz still working on the deadline? And I haven’t heard from Pear either.”
“Eh? I wasn’t told about anything of that sort. To be fair, I’m quite late to news but from Liz, I should be the first to know about it. Welp, I’m done with my work so I’ll visit her. Today is quite a special day as it’s my birthday. Meaning I should at least let it be known. And that’s a good enough reason, eh?”

After stating he should go see Liz, Will gets cut from seemingly nowhere. Realizing what had happened, he freezes on the spot.
“The hell is this? Alf, did you see who that was? Alfonso? *sigh* Why and how the fuck is True Zero being activated when I’m doing absolutely nothing?”
*dan*
“Oh, Will! You’re here, eh? Welcome to the Limbo!”
“Ah shit. Will is that you? Kinda strange but there is a small chance that you were still with me. Why am I here anyway?”
“Well, you see, when you’re talking to me in person, I switch to the body and take control of it. But now, it’s neither me nor you, it’s someone other than us. From what I can speculate, it’s maybe your 3rd personality – Choleric aka Wilhelm. While you and I are the more “tangible” faces of you, the other 2 are more rash and unfriendly. And the one in charge of your body is the most intangible – your anger and quick temper. It’s also true that you are Phlegmatic and I’m Sanguine, we are the manifestation of your dreams and commandments you hold dear to you. I’m the manifestation of your dream of Cassandra and the formal suite, you’re the manifestation of your dream of being carefree and the lazy suite, Wilhelm is the manifestation of your dream of commanding a lot of people and your cold policy and Lucile – the Melancholy – is the manifestation of your dream of being alone in a faraway land and your pessimistic suite.”
“So, what you’re saying is that I’m 4 different people?”
“Yep”
“And how the hell are you alive? You made your final request and everything as if you were dying. What was that all about?”
“Well, you see I’m not dead; in fact, I’ll never die, unless you also die. And my final request was so that it would motivate you to do something.”
“You son of a bitch”
“I know, right? I’m you and you’re me. It’s just that we are the same in different ways. But unlike the other 2, you and I are the best of friends from youth. Anyways, does the True Zero still bother you?”
“Speaking of, does Helm know of True Zero? I was kicked out when it activated.”
“No idea. But it’s your impulsive side. Meaning, it wouldn’t last as long as it did to you and me because he doesn’t have any love for anyone. Or at least I hope.”
“The hell do you mean by hope?”
“I have the Pure Zero to copy anything that I can perceive, right? As that, Helm has one as well. You can imagine what it would be. As that, he has weaknesses to it. Likewise, that mine could also copy weakness and yours could see unintended truth, his could maybe tie to your love of Cassandra. Welp, needless to say, you need to get a way to come back into your body or make a compromise with Helm and even Lucile for that manner.”
“I hope they would deal with me reasonably. Some would see me as an insane person while others would be so confused that they would assume my identity to be that of Helm’s. Welp, there’s no reason to cry over spilled milk, eh?”
