I'm sick to the bone
Characters: Minato, his Shadow and anyone!
Setting: Floor 14 (Media), September 12th
Format: Starting in brackets, will match
Summary: Even the “perfect” leader isn’t immune to his Shadow.
Warnings: Minato’s Shadow, eventual violence
[The media floor. Often a floor of distraction, a place where people would indulge in escapism from the cruelty the tower brings.
And yet, there’s something odd.
In one area of the floor, a song can be heard playing loudly for all to hear.
"Nobody's topping me
you know it damn right
Most of y'alls loving me
doing it all night”
As the song plays, it may switch between different versions of the same song. The beat is the same, but the lyrics would differ.
And in the middle of this area are two Minatos.]
I wonder what everyone would think of us, if they know? What lies behind their perfect leader’s careful masks.
[Minato’s silent, watching his Shadow speak. His Shadow touches the armband on his own arm, smiling fondly.]
The source of your powers...and why you never seem to be afraid? We both know why, me. You’re the leader, you can’t afford to show weakness. The voices have spoken, the voices nudges, and you followed because you’re addicted.
[The song ends and starts again. Or is it? The lyrics seemed different this time.]
...Addicted? [He knows what his Shadow means, somewhere at the back of his mind, but he still asked.]
That wonderful feeling of growing closer and watching your Social Links grow. The feeling of happiness when you know you’re important to someone. That feeling when you’re less lonely now, after years of being distant from people. Who would be friends with a boy who spoke “deliriously” of a time where the moon turned green, when water became blood and people became coffins, even in his own relatives’ house?
[“Once again, I'm back in the lab
Cleaning my knives ready for stabs”]
That’s why I keep my silence—
Because no one understands. And let’s not forget about our dear companions, the voices…
[The Shadow pause, as the music reach a peak. Then his yellow eyes glance over. Oh, he noticed they’re not alone.]
...the voices who continue to grant you power from your bonds. [That earns a reaction from Minato. Speak about his mental state all you want, but when it comes to his friendships--!
But why is it so hard to speak?]
You’re afraid they might think you’re exploiting their trust and friendship.
Quiet.
[What will you do for Minato?]

no subject
Yeah, I know.
Ah, hello, Akihiko-senpai. It's so nice to see you alive and well. [The Shadow give him a pleasant, yet unsettling smile.] I wonder, how much did you hear? So I can possibly fill in the blank spots.
