[Ken, wearing a blue apron, is standing in what appears to be the stockroom of Nectar.]

So...

[He hesitates for a moment, gazing around himself apprehensively, clearly worried he might be overheard. When he turns back to the screen, he closes his eyes briefly and takes a deep breath, as if steeling himself for something.]

What would it take to make you decide you couldn't be yourself any more?

... If I felt like my current self couldn't do anything, I guess--though I've never been in that kind of situation, so I can't say for certain. It's not really something I believe in doing, either way.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I don't really either. I guess it's kind of why I was asking... Sure there've been times I've had to get used to something weird pretty damn fast, but not that much!

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

... I'm guessing there's a personal reason for the question, then?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Yeah... pretty much.

There's a friend of mine. He's here too, and... well, he did something really weird a couple days back. I'm kinda worried.

[It doesn't bother him if Dominic wants to know this.]

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

'Really weird'...?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

He was calling himself by another name and everything. Like there was someone else living in the same body with him. It was... it just wasn't him.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Are you sure that isn't split personality?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. He's never been like that before...

He seemed to be in control.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll take your word for it.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

He did, though. It was... he was just being someone else now. And I don't know why.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

... Then why don't you ask him?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[At that Ken looks awkward, coloring slightly and looking away.

[He doesn't really know why he went public with this, only that it seemed like the right thing to do at the time... but he still doesn't understand and now he feels like he's done something wrong.]

I tried. The answer didn't explain anything.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Because you didn't understand or because he was purposely trying to hide things?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

You know I'm not even sure? Because I don't think he was lying but I'm pretty sure he wasn't telling me everything.
