Identity crisis

Rico's Point of View

"There is no way, I can eat something as horrendous as that, right?"

I heard Ana utter those words under her breath and although she was only barely whispering when she said those words, I was still able to hear them loud and clear.

However, I refused to answer; not because I did not want to, rather, I was thinking that she was only thinking out loud.

She said it in a way that was almost as though she was only talking to herself. So I refrained from talking in the meantime and allowed the other party to deal with her rhetorical questions.

"What is this? What is it about being a monster?"

She asked again. But just like the last time, I kept my silence; thinking that my answer would be unsolicited.

Meanwhile, using the same tone she used in her previous statements, she continued.

"Killing people. Killing each other... I am not like that! I am a human just as what I should ought to be."
