The Battle Within Brian

Janice walked down the street, looked at the sunset, and smiled.

Dad, Mom, I made it.

I killed the boy I've always loved...

No, he's not that boy anymore.

He is just a murderer!

So what? Anyway, she succeeded.

She stopped suddenly.

Someone is following her! Is it to arrest her?

All right, come on, make an arrest.

"Hi." Lily's voice came from behind.

Janice turned her head to look; behind her was a girl wearing a black, gold-rimmed jacket and a black military cap, and behind that girl was...Lily!

"Who are you? Why are you following Janice?" Lily's eyes became sharp.

"...Alice Justin."

"Why follow her?"

"...You know."

"Damn it!" Lily's fist was showing veins, "answer me seriously!" Lily clapped suddenly, and then Alice felt squeezed by something; it should be the wind.

Lily won't kill her because once she asked Brian if he had to kill her. Would he do it? Brian said so.

"If I kill you, if I let myself go this far...

I can't go back."

Yes! You can't go back! So I will never let myself take this step!

With some strength, Alice pushes away the wind that has been squeezing her and then rushes up, trying to grab Janice's hand. Lily quickly controls the wind under Alicia's feet, intending to push her up, but Alicie relies on strength. Hold on so you don't fly into the air.

Only later did she realise that she had been tricked, because at this moment her feet sank into the ground. Lily took the opportunity to grab Janice's hand, manipulated the wind under her feet, and started to rush backwards.

Suddenly, Alice's almost blurred figure came into Lily's eyes, and then she appeared behind Lily. Lily slammed on the brakes in fright and was punched by Alice on the ground.

"Let's talk first." Alice suggested.

"What are you talking about? She just wants revenge! Is there anything wrong?" Lily wouldn't dare speak so loudly if there was no one around.

"Revenge can indeed be sympathised with and forgiven, but can it be let off by the law?"

Lily was speechless.

"You have to thank her for her backstory. She will get the mercy of the judge, and she only needs to be in prison for a few years." Alice said, "I understand why she took this step, and I understand what kind of mood she has to come here and kill these people, but due to my identity, I must bring her to justice. Rest assured, I will work hard to prevent her from suffering."

"Identity? What is your identity?"

"Alice laughed.

"Doctor! Doctor!" Alicia panicked and shouted at the door of the ward.

Jackson hits the red button because there's something wrong with the patient they're visiting!

Brian's heart stopped beating!

BI—————————————!

Brian found himself in the white space of the dream.

"Hello." Brian suddenly heard a voice behind him.

He turned his head and saw a boy surrounded by black air standing behind him. The black air kept floating upward and spinning.

"Who are you?" Brian asked.

"I'm number 2. You forgot?" said the boy.

"number 2?"

"Oh, you forgot: you, No. 1, represent No. 3's sense of justice and kindness; I, No. 2, represent No. 3's inferiority complex and desire to kill."

"number 3?"

"No. 3 is our combination, with all our strengths and weaknesses, including your cowardice and my strength. By the way, it was No. 3 who was poisoned to death. If I hadn't supported him, we might have to be buried with him."

"Wait, you mean I have schizophrenia?"

"No, this is your inner world. In other words, we are Brian's various personalities. When we encounter something, we take turns to take charge of the body."

"So next, who will be in charge of the body?"

"I."

"What happened?"

"Janice is under arrest."

...

Brian was dumbfounded by the news.

BI—————————————!

Bi, Bi, Bi, Bi, Bi...

Brian opened his eyes.
