Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ Second Dream Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ Forwarded to late night

[byakkoyagirl]

[Around the afternoon, Paprika was released from the experimental alternate universe and went back to being her cheery dream girl self. And, like most others, she thought she was spared from the continued experiments.

Oh how wrong she was.

Like on the first night she arrived in Luceti, Paprika is going to be dropping into people's dreams through teleportation. Prepare to get your dreamspace invaded citizens of Luceti. Please don't kill her for this - she really doesn't want to imagine the crazy stuff you dream of.]

That's understandable. Many people born with weak immune systems and sickness often curse healthy people and dislike life because of the unfortunate situation they were given at birth. It doesn't make you a bad person, Chopin.

Since no longer being ill though, I've begun to try and be healthier. I'm tired of feeling so sickly and weak, I want to be stronger and healthier. Even if I still have issues and flaws I want to hide, I know I can overcome them little by little.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

You aren't doing yourself any good by hiding them. A step to overcoming them is accepting that they exist and dealing with them day by day. If you're hiding them you aren't doing anything about them.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

I do acknowledge they exist and I do live with them, I simply can't tell others about them so I hide them from the world. Can you truly blame me for wanting to hide them because I'm so afraid people will dislike me? In all honesty, I use to not like talking very much to people, but I did it because I had to. Since being here and having my life changed though, I realized I couldn't do that anymore so I began to open up myself little by little.

I can't blame you. People always hide things about themselves to make a better impression on people. You aren't a bad person for it.

[He stands up from his sitting spot as the scene around them changes into what appears to be a salon party during the 19th century. Frederic's clothes have also changed into something more suitable for the party. That doesn't seem to bother him though, as he stands in the doorway to the party yet doesn't move at all.]

[The scene change doesn't faze her and she stands as well. Her outfit isn't changing just yet, but she does look around curiously.]

A memory?

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[He looks at her and with a small nod, but he only remains in the doorway as he watches the people in the room.]

Yes it is, a memory of home. I've begun to think I'm meant to belong here and I should simply give up on trying to live in Luceti.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

You know, I can understand if people want to stay in Luceti instead of going back home. I don't think you should give up on trying to live here. You've met good people here, I'm sure.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

I have. Yet I've also...hurt others.

[The beautiful scene changes again to a wasteland that's red like blood and Paprika will see another him that looks more evil as he cuts and slices through various people, particularly people he's friends with. After he's done, all the bodies are stained red and the evil him is standing over them as he smirks with a sinister laugh.]

[She frowns at the sight. It isn't clear to her whether this is because of the experiment or not, but either way she doesn't like what she sees.]

Chopin, I can't believe you did it intentionally.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[He continues watching himself act violently until the other evil him starts going crazy as the other begins inflicting pain on everything around it.]

Of course I'd never do such things intentionally. Yet there was one time where I did, thinking only of myself as I cut them down one by one. Can you honestly say I'm a good person when you know what I'm capable of? I'm a horrid person.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

That was then and this is now. You admit your faults and want to change. [She smiles at him softly.] I find that admirable.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Thank you Miss Paprika, you speak such kind words and I wish I could return the kindness you've given to me.

[The scenery changes once more to a scene of his room (http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/751/751899/eternal-sonata--20061220041210073.jpg) with himself in the bed, but no one is around him. The other him looks very depressed and he walks towards the other him with a small frown, only to then stop as his body begins trembling a little.]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes follow Chopin and she walks behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder, but not saying anything.]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[His eyes turn to Paprika and he begins looking very sad. The other him is staring at the piano across from his bed as he gets up from the bed to begin playing a piece on it.] This is me, no, the true Frederic Chopin. I'm not even real, I'm only the dream reflection of his being.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

So? Why does that matter?

[She says this a bit more passionately than her previous tone. Because this is something she completely relates to.]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Because I'm living the life of someone else, someone who everyone believes me to be. How can I tell others that I'm not the person they believe I am?

[He sounds so sad as he watches the other him continue playing the piano as if nothing else matters to him.]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

You're telling me, aren't you?

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid to tell anyone else.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

...If you don't want to that's okay too. It sounds like a personal matter you should confide in with people you trust.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

I don't want others to turn away from me if I tell them the truth, Miss Paprika. What if they come to hate me as well? I'd end up alone and no one would trust me.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

If they care for you then they shouldn't want to turn away. People can be understanding if you give them a chance, Chopin.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

I've been let down by so many before and caused such disappointment with others. I even treated people terribly recently because of the experiments, breaking their trust now is something I can't afford to do.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

There's no need to tell them now. But, I think you should at least confide in more than just me. Unless you don't have anyone that close to you yet.

[...] But don't think that way. You're still Frederic Francois Chopin. Only a different part of him.
