In his subconscious, Regen stood tall with confidence. "I will no longer hide you," he told the voice inside him. "We are complementary parts of ourselves. I will become stronger by accepting you."
 
Back in the real world, Graiss saw Regen become calmer in his sleep. The anxious expression on his face began to disappear.

"Did I speak in my sleep earlier?" asked Regen worriedly.
 
Graiss nodded. "You were babbling."
 
Regen sighed heavily. His consciousness was really getting worse now. He knew very well that it seemed like he was starting to realize something was wrong with himself.
 
Regen felt really messed up. Especially when he remembered how his other self appeared in his dreams.
 
"I really feel terrible right now Graiss," Regen muttered desperately. For some reason he felt like he was undergoing a violent onslaught. The turmoil felt so intense inside his head.
 
"Are you okay, Regen?" Graiss was really worried about Regen's condition.
 
Regen did not answer, he just held his head and looked very frustrated.
 
This is crazy... everything is starting to feel abnormal, Regen thought chaotically.
 
"Regen?" said Graiss worriedly. Graiss put her arms around Regen with concern, trying to calm her distraught friend. "Regen, listen to me. We'll figure out a way to deal with this together. You're not alone, I'm here for you."
 
Regen tried to control his emotional turmoil, but it was getting harder and harder to keep his thoughts together. He felt like there were two sides to him that were conflicting.
 
"I feel like something is not right inside me, Graiss," Regen said in a shaken voice. "There's a strange voice in my mind, a strange feeling in my body. I don't know what's going on."
 
Hearing Regen's words made Graiss feel sad. She realized that she could not do anything. The only way that came to the little girl's mind was to let herself try to hug the young man.
 
"I don't know what to do for you but, Regen please, calm yourself down. I'm really sad to see you in this state," Graiss said while calming the young man.

"Rain... Rain... Rain!" called Halb worriedly as Rain suddenly woke up with her mouth covered in blood.
 
"Shut up!" Rain pushed Halb away, she then entered the bathroom, ignoring Halb who was worried about her condition.
 
In the bathroom, Rain stared at her reflection in the mirror. He could remember the dream clearly. She knew that the figure in the dream was herself. But she felt strange, why she didn't feel like herself in the dream. He felt that he was conscious while doing all that, in his dream. But strangely he felt like he was being controlled while doing all those actions.
 
"Regen?" she muttered as she looked at herself in the mirror. She knew that the person in the world, the one who shared a similar resemblance to her, and had an identity similar to her. Finally met him.
 
"Damn it... I haven't even thought about the future plan. But things are starting to move beyond my control." Rain was disgusted that lately, it seemed like someone was trying to thwart her plans.
 
Rain continued to brood in confusion. He felt divided between the two identities within himself. One side was her true self, the one with plans and goals, and the other side was the one who seemed to be messing things up. The frustration and loss of control made him even more agitated.
 
Outside the bathroom, Halb was worried about Rain's condition. He pondered for a while, trying to figure out how to help his friend. Halb decided to be brave and knocked on the bathroom door many times trying to get Rain to open the door for him.
 
"Rain, are you okay in there?" asked Halb in a soft tone.
 
Rain was annoyed, but she knew that Halb would only go crazy knocking if she didn't open the door. In the end, she opened the bathroom door and faced Halb. It was clear from Halb's face that he had a confused and questioning look on his face.
 
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry." Rain pushed Halb away. She didn't want to talk much and just wanted to be alone. "I'm going to my room, so please don't bother me!" Rain said firmly.
 
Halb was silent and seemed to be trying to understand Rain's request, even though he was actually feeling worried too.
 
Rain, who was pensive in her room, took out a small knife, which she kept inside a thick book. Rain scratched his hand, and confirmed that he had woken up from a nightmare.
 
 
 
Noticing the pain coming on he realized that he was fully awake. Rain took the sleeping pills that she always carried around with her. After downing a few pills, she felt her head so heavy and finally fell asleep.

Rain looked at her hand which suddenly looked scratched and bleeding. But soon the cuts and blood disappeared.
 
"Am I hallucinating right now?" Rain closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them again. "What happened?" muttered Rain in confusion. She tried to contemplate what she had just experienced. Could it be that her hallucinations were getting worse.
 
Rain felt confused and anxious about what was happening to her hands. She examined her hands carefully, looking for signs of the wounds that existed before. However, when she checked, there were no scars or blood at all. Everything seemed to be back to normal.

The place was very dark, and it felt very quiet. Regen stepped his feet to enter the room until he finally found himself standing, facing his other self named Rain.
 
"You?" Regen looked at the person flatly.
 
"You too," replied the person named Rain.
 
The two met again. They were both the same person. Both of them felt bonded. They were like twins. They didn't know which one was the real one, but it was clear that both of them felt that their identities were important.
 
"I really want to kill you. Stop appearing in my memories as well as my dreams!" Regen pointed his knife at the person.
 
Rain smiled wryly. She looked down on the person in front of her. "Those should be the words I say to you, copycat!" Rain also pointed her knife.
 
"Imposter!"
 
"Imposter!"
 
After that there was no more conversation between the two. There was silence for a while, until finally both of them stabbed each other. Letting the knives they held, hit and hurt each other.
 
"I won't stop, until you're gone!" shouted Regen.
 
"And I'd rather make sure for now, that your mouth really can't make a sound anymore!" said Rain angrily.
 
The two people attacked each other and let themselves get hurt.
