Chapter 73 Becoming crazier and crazier until everything is crazy

"But Deva how long they haven't contacted you or met them, months!I know they have their own circumstances but they didn't even tried to contact you.They didn't even say where they were going or even said to you personally, they just said to you through their family members!" Devi yelled with exasperation as she opened the door of our house and entered with hurried steps while I was chasing her.

I knitted my eyebrows,"Months?I...didn't we just met them a few days ago?I...really can't remember..." As I murmured these words and closed the door locking it, Devi was quietly observing me as I was on my own world.

Certainly I haven't met them for a while, but...mmh...lately I have been a bit absentminded so much that time passed without me noticing but was I that forgetful?There are some things that I can't remember or struggle to recall. I do remember some familiar names but can't recall their faces or even what kind of person they were.

Devi couldn't help but smirk for a brief moment before returning her facial expression to that of anger and disdain towards the girls.

"Didn't they in reality dumped you?Not only you started your relationship a few months ago but also been shared by four people.If I were them, after seeing how it is like to share you where I have to share my time spent with you then I would rather find someone else to fully dedicate their time and attention to me."

"Eh...months?"

Nono, I have been with them for a long time...there's no way that only a few months passed, there's no way...yet again can't help but feel that something is entering my mind as if changing something inside me, I can't help but feel stangely sad and heartbroken as I hear Devi's words and sweet voice that mentions that they dumped me...was I always like this?Easy to persuade with? I remember that I was...I was...how was I before?

As I continue to think and think I could feel my own mind start to weaken, to worn out.

I glanced at Devi that surpringly for me is still talking, was I that focused that I wasn't listening to my surroundings.

"You are tired,right?"

"Eh?"

As she talks she starts to shorten our distance.

"You've been waiting so much."

As continues to close the gap between us I could sense my head starting to pound and my surroundings to blur.

"Either spend thousands and thousands of days to wait for them to return or hope that they contact you"

Haven't I already heard something similar to this?

"But you know that is a vain hope."

"You'll be forever cursed to wait and wait."

Now Devi, my twin sister is now right in front of me, despite that the only thing I could focus on was her lips and her words.

"The more time passes the more you'll feel anguished and desperate that you'll crave for any kind of affection and touch."

With her thumb she raised my chin so that my eyes could focus on hers.

My mind cannot think of anything but Devi, my only sister.

"We've been together since we were little, always together and unable to be seperated.Do you remember?Try to recall it."

As Devi said that, I could feel mind lighter, as if it was freed by something and after that I recalled the past...

Mh...?Wasn't I alone? Alone for years in that cold room until-

Then I could feel my mind heavy again and again Devi opened her mouth and through her mouth sweet words flowed out.

"We have been locked in that room for years, don't you remember?We would hug each other so that we wouldn't die from the cold.Like this."

With that Devi hugged me, her arms tightened around me and her voice could be clearly heard right near my right ear.

"I am here, always been by your side, I'll never leave you not like those sluts.We will be forever together.Just say the word."

The temptation was impossible to ignore.In fact I am in the verge of nodding or just say the words that Devi wants to hear.

Yet instead of accepting her, nodding to her, try to reject her, try to struggle or recall memories related to her beloved ones that are sealed or altered. Deva instead recalled in the corner of her mind, Deva recalled in the innermost of her heart a conversation between her and a certain elven king. A conversation between two people that are loved by women that can be considered as yanderes. It was a conversation that was brought up casually like when your mother asks you how was your day or like when your fellow classmates asks you whenever you have done your homeworks or straight up ignore them to do whatever you wanted.

-You explained me what 'yandere' means,right?

-Uhu.

-A person that becomes so interested towards someone that they will do every kind of thing in order to gain their attention or love. Manipulation, gaslighting, blackmail, threats, murder, brainwashing, isolation, stockolm syndrome, kidnapping...all that kind of things that normal people would shiver with fear if placed upon them.

-Thaleasin, can the two of us even be considered 'normal'?Mhh...I mean our desires, ambitions and dreams can be considered as normal but what we passed through during our lives cannot be considered as normal.

-You passed a hundred of years in that dungeon maybe you have become more crazier than before during that time while I-

-You lived your entire life as prince and then as a king and being in that kind of position makes you confront a lot of situations that cannot be consired normal while more than half of your life being loved by two yanderes.Mhh..thinking about it doesn't a person stray from the term normal the more they live? The more they live the more they witness how reality is fucked up and since it it like that the term 'normal' disappears.Umm...We are straying from the main conversation.Yes, what you were saying about yanderes?

-Doesn't the perspective of love of a yandere the same of that of how a child see love? Only that a yandere have just a bit of insanity in their love.

-You mean how a child does not know the concept of love? They think that love is just between two people that love each other?

-There are some exceptions but that is what I think most people than can be called yandere view love. Based on how you explained the term yandere, they put together the platonic, romantic and familial love in only one place, it is not right nor wrong to do that.

-Then Thaleasin, Oh king of elves, why the hell you brought this up in the first place?

-It is because individual like us are cursed to live and be surrounded by yanderes!

-Did Aalrie and Courtney do something to your brain?

-In order to not go insane you have to go crazy since it is like that in order not be swept by yanderes you have to be crazy.

-Ah, Theresa look what your mothers did to your father.

-You have to be crazy in order to understand another crazy person, see things such as threats, murder, brainwashing or isolation as a matter of fact when meeting with a yandere.A yandere is like a child receiving a toy, toy will be subjected by all kind of things from a child.

-...

-Deva!Remember this! You have still to experience a lot, the feeling of being threatened, the feeling of being blackmailed or the feeling of being brainwashed.It will be like experiencing sex for the first time.

-What the hell are you talking about, you old man.I've been doing that a long time ago not only those but also things that can be considered as good or evil.

-...

-The feeling of helping someone, the feeling of being superior to someone, the feeling of being inferior to someone, the feeling to yearn something, the feeling of helplessness, the feeling saving someone, the feeling of killing someone, the feeling of you energy being dry up, the feeling of your energy being filled up, the feeling of blackmailing someone, the feeling of being blackmailed, the feeling of stalking someone, the feeling of being stalked, the feeling of starving, the feeling of filling up my belly, the feeling of extreme anger, the feeling of apathy...so many things I experienced, in fact I have to in order to unleash my maximum potential about my powers.

-You...aren't you straying from what your teacher taught you?

-Straying?She didn't mention to not do that but that it is better to immagine since it can unleash your immagination but that isn't by experience that I can unleash the potential of my power?Like a painter doesn't acquire inspiration by looking at the canvas, I need new experiences in order to fill my mind with inspirations and immagination.

-You...you pervert!What kind of kinks you have awoken to become like this?

-Hey!Don't kinkshame me!

"What...the hell was that?" The bewildered Devi asked.

"You know that was an amazing experience!Ah, I have to thank you my adorable sister."

"You...you did it on purpose!"

"Hah?That's impossible I didn't even know that you existed before I entered the last floor and during that time I was already under your spell."

"Then what?!How did you even break off from my spell?"

"I did not break off from your spell, in fact I am still under your spell.I can only remember few things, I cannot even remember who the hell is Core or Beatrice.You can only alter one memories but not one's nature.You might alter the memories of a killer but a killer remains a killer.Thanks to this I know that something in this world is wrong but who cares about that? My dear sister, you wanted to be together forever,right?!"

Since Devi is embracing Deva and because of that Deva could hear clearly Devi's sweet words, Devi too could hear Deva's words filled with insanity

"Uck!" Devi was then pinned down by Deva.

"Since we will be together let's do everything that can bring us sorrow and joy, a life filled with monotony is boring after all!"

Devi who can read one's thoughts when inside her domain, could read all kind of thoughts that filled Deva's mind and the fact that now Devi could see Deva's crazy eyes and that didn't make the situation better.

Devi is scared, she is terrified.As a bearer of a core and not a guardian of a core Devi, cannot just kill Deva.In fact Devi is not scared what will happen now but after.Deva has passed her trial and since it is like that Deva will become her owner.Devi cannot help but shudder at that thought, whether for fear or excitement that she did not know.

*Ding!

[You passed the trial 'Altered memories altered reality'.Your memories will be returned and unsealed.]
