[In another room beyond the front, water could faintly be heard splashing around. Funny that the brewing and swimming took place in the same place, but didn't need to give the customers any ideas... or wonder why there was a lone hole with water in the back.]
[Back in her human form, she opened the back door and stepped out into the main room, closing the door behind her.]
Disciple... [It's been a while since they last met. She gestured a hand to the table and chairs.] Have a seat.
[He's not the type to pry, if it doesn't concern him thankfully.] Dr. Kimishima. [He bows in greeting before taking a seat. He doesn't appear much different since the time they met, except looking more tired.]
...Just to be sure we're on the same page, I am the one who carries the essence of Dr. Jekyll and Hyde. I'm sure you've already seen or heard of what Hyde has done.
...More than I like to admit. Though it's been some time since his last outburst with the Detective. Still, it's only a false sense of relief. [He folds his hands together, proping his arms on the table and leaning forward.] I'm running out of options. Perhaps I'm only delaying the inevitable by going against what's been written, but I refuse to let that thing control me. If I must live with this, I need to find someway I can utilize the benefits of Hyde without that destructive persona.
[She nodded, understanding that. It was just how the story went.]
... Unfortunately, I'm not trained in therapy, but in your case, it should be approached that way. As such, it's less about controlling Hyde, but attempting a compromise. However, if you want to see about containing him longer, I suppose I could look into a brew; perhaps dull what sections of the brain he activates, but this risks your own health.
[He scoffs at the idea of a compromise.] There is no compromise with someone who takes pleasure in torturing others. [Oh don't be like that. It's not like anyone has actually died by our hands, have they? Besides a few inky splots here and there. He turns his head in an irritable matter and crosses his arms.]
More time is all I can ask for. Whatever it takes. [If it'll keep Hyde from hurting others for just a little while longer, he'll accept whatever setbacks that comes from it.] And...should he show himself again, is there anything you can make to keep me conscious aware of what's happening? As we speak now, I can hear his whispers in my head, but it's not the same when he is in control. The personality is rather successful of shutting me out.
I practice my swordsmanship, and been learning how to tend plants for the greenhouse. My skill as a lawyer isn't of much use here, but I like to read up about this world's foundation in my spare time. [...Are these actually hobbies? They sound like things to keep one occupied.]
Alright, assignments while I'm brewing: pick up a new hobby and socializing. If you can manage both at once, good. You need to do something that lessens Hyde's impulses so start by looking into things he might do, but aren't lethal to another person.
...I'm not sure. Before I came here I was constantly on the move, going after one thing, my memories. There was never a moment I needed to think about anything else.
Nothing, really. [A light shrug.] I just wasn't expecting to stay here so long that I had to worry about it. [So everything just felt like a waste of time, outside of dealing with Hyde.]

... I have. I helped Shizuo and the Detective after their encounters. How often are you becoming Hyde now?

Yes, I can see about doing both. It will take a while to prepare without an MRI, but no longer than two to three days.

Ok. Maybe it wasn't good enough.] . . .All right. [He seems at a lost of what he's being asked to do.]
no subject
... Is there anything you've ever wanted to do or try?

no subject
I see. Well, you have the time now so aside from managing Hyde, what's stopping you?
no subject
I'll figure it out.

[And if she found out he wasn't doing anything different, oh boy.]
