34 Mindscape pt. 1

Thirteen looked around at the completely white space. It slowly morphed into a white room with marble floors, white marble pillars with intricate designs of torture and death on them, along with a white throne made of skulls and bones.

He looked and saw himself sitting on the throne, except this him had red eyes.

He looked at himself and said "Where are we?" the other him grinned and said "Do you like it? Made it myself." Thirteen looked around and said "It's white." the other him laughed and said "Of course it is, what else would it be? White is the color of hell after all."

Thirteen walked around and looked at the pillars, asking "Who are you?" the other him rested his head on his hand and replied "I'm you." Thirteen looked at him and said "No you're not. Who are you."

The other him chuckled and got off the throne, walking towards him as he replied again "Are you deaf? I just told you." he stopped right in front of Thirteen and added "We're the same, you are me and I am you."

Thirteen looked at him and punched, the other him caught his fist and laughed before waving his hand and back handing Thirteen, sending him flying into the wall and coughing out more blood.

He fell to the ground and coughed as the other him walked over, spreading his hands out and sighing "You're so weak. I really hate it." before kicking Thirteen again and adding "Honestly, I'm ashamed to even call you 'me'."

Thirteen coughed again and looked at the other him before charging at him, piercing with his hand. The other him rolled his eyes and caught his wrist, raising his knee and blocking the kick, while simultaneously moving his free hand and catching the punch as he said "Yes, yes, pierce kick punch. You move like a child, it's a wonder how you beat anyone honestly."

Thirteen looked at him and he smirked "Wanna know why I'm stronger than you?" before kicking him and adding "Not telling~! Hehehe~" Thirteen flew and landed on the wall before jumping off and swinging his chains at the other him.

The other him dodged them and moved forward, punching at Thirteen, who twisted his body and spun, smashing the back of his fist at the other him's jaw. The other him ducked but took a knee to the chin and flew back into his throne, smashing it to bits.

Thirteen landed on the ground and looked at the other him, tilting his head as he said "Not by much." the other him laughed and fizzled out of existence, appearing behind Thirteen and clapping his hands, saying "Very nice, I give you my jaw and you hit it. It's as if you have eyes!"

Thirteen looked at him and back at the throne that appeared to have never been broken in the first place. The other him circled around Thirteen, smiling crazily "Wondering what happened? Confused? Wondering if this is real?" Thirteen kept silent and the other him laughed, clapping his hands as the space changed to the streets of the White city.

It continued changing from the cell room to the fighting area to an island to a bed room as Thirteen watched.

It stopped in the bedroom and showed a woman with white hair on a bed.

Thirteen's pupils shrank and he appeared in front of the other him, blasting him in the head with a punch, shooting him through the wall and shattering the scene.

Thirteen stood there looking at the space where the woman was, breathing heavily and chaotically.

The other him appeared next to him and wiped his lips, rubbing the blood between his fingers as he said emotionlessly "Ah yes, the 'taboo'. It's such a shame." he turned to Thirteen and continued with a flat mouth and calm flames dancing in his eyes, "Did you know, this is when I was born?"

Thirteen waved his arm and shouted "SHUT UP!" the other him stepped back and dodged his arm, adding "Of course, I was only a thought at the time… but as things got worse and worse…"

The scenes that took place on the island appeared and showed a couple taking a child in, beating him and verbally abusing him for having ears and tail, insulting the woman and the child's father, before eventually selling the boy to a slave trader for a large briefcase of cash.

The scene shifted from being sold to an auction house and then being bought by a man in a bubble helmet. From being put on a boat and sent to the White City, along with all the abuse that came after.

The other him watched and continued "I was only getting stronger and stronger as time went on. But… being sold the first time…" the scene stopped on the couple taking the briefcase with smiles as the child sat in a cage and watched, strapped with cuffs and chains, sporting a blank expression in his eyes along with a single tear from his right eye while his left was red.

The other him smiled and said "You see! That's me! Hehehe~ Those were fun times, I would come out and play all the time." Thirteen's eyes went red and he charged at the other him, tackling him to the ground and punching him in the head, shouting "SHUT UP! WE'RE NOT THE SAME! GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY BODY!"

The other him laughed and said "Yes! Get angry! Hehehehehehe~!"
