“Difficult, right?” The white version of Tomoka spoke in a tired and sad voice.
"What are you talking about?" Tomoka was uncomfortable. This version of himself is completely different from Oditomnia. It was calmer, more collected and in a certain way, more frightening.
“You can hide it from others. You might even try to hide it from yourself, but in the end you know very well what I'm talking about ” While speaking, her tone becomes softer, like a sister comforting her brother.
“Ck, no problem. Everything is going well and I will make sure nothing is wrong” Tomoka feels annoyed and even angry. Whatever version of him this is, be it a hallucination or a third party mentioned by Oditomnia he doesn't care.
“Anger, emotions that follow after denial. You and I both know this but you are still fighting yourself” This time his voice became a little mocking and amused which angered Tomoka.
“And what will you know! You speak as if facing my fears and paranoia will help with anything! This world is chaotic to the high heavens! Now you come and tell me that you know how I feel when you're some kind of illusion? To start with What the fuck are you? Tomoka was getting annoyed with the second one.
“You already know that but of course, I guess I'll state the obvious. I'm a part of you like Oditomnia. While he represents your hatred, anger, and anger, I am the more subtle part of you. I'm a representation of your self-esteem, your efforts to thrive and, funny, your laziness.” That last part was said to be with a hint of self-deprecation as a smile graced his face.
“Then why are you bothering me about unimportant things?” Tomoka still felt annoyed with this other self.
"Nwildewur? Right, having Danzo directly is not important. Letting Akatsuki do that is not important. Letting Gaara suffer at the hands of his own father was no small feat. Do you want me to keep listing the so-called unimportant things that are going on? This time it was my turn to be upset.
“You know very well that if I mess things up then we will lose our biggest advantage.”
“Useful advantage if we don't do anything with it. Not to mention, who cares? Aren't we the great scientific genius of Aurora Ambridge? Aren't we Tomoka's low-grade training? You let fear control you and it's something the three of us don't like, after all, we're all the same.
“So what do you propose? To be careful of the wind and just flap it? Tomoka still denied.
“What if it's wrong? What if, because of me, my loved ones die!? What if... What if...” At this point Tomoka's throat begins to close. Although this place was only part of his mind, he could feel how his throat refused to move.
“What if we're not good enough? That all?" Hearing these words made Tomoka angry.
“Failure is part of the process. When you fail, then try again, and again, and again until it works.”
“It's not that simple you stupid! We play with our lives here! Not only that, we have the lives of our loved ones on our shoulders!”
“But we don't let them carry the load with us. We have friends now, we have a loving family and more. Yet here we are, socially inept geniuses who try to do everything themselves and fail miserably.
“I just... I don't want to be alone anymore” At that time Tomoka's eyes glazed over. He hates weakness, no, he hates being weak.
“We don't have to be like that, and we're no longer like that. Just open it up for the people around you. Let them help, otherwise we will always be alone.” Saying this, white Tomoka hugged the original.
“We like both, don't we? It's time for us to let them love us back ”
"I'll try"
"Good"
After that silence followed as Tomoka rearranged her thoughts. Although he hated to admit it, this other version of himself was true. He's been procrastinating too long. He won't do it again.
Say, Oditomnia was born from the year 682, what about you? Now that the heavy and emotional topic was over, Tomoka decided to gather some useful info.
"two words, nai wa" After the white one said as if lightning had struck Tomoka.
"SHIRAORI!?"
