In Issei's room, the two Isseis stare each other down.

The one in brown - the real Issei - says, "You're not me. You're not even a part of me, like my Shadow was. You broke up with Haruto so you could gallivant around, you viciously attacked my friends - you're the antithesis of my loyalty, what I am."

The one in black - the new Issei - answers, "That's right. And because of that, I'm much stronger than you will ever be. You're weak."

A laugh comes out of the real Issei's lips. "You're the weak one. And I won't allow you to hurt my friends any longer." Then he speaks in another language, and the words have power: "Erlösch."

"Wh-what?" The new Issei starts to fade. "You don't have any power! You can't use magic!"

"That's right, I can't. Even now, I'm copying off of what Tohsaka does. Erlösch." The real Issei smiles grimly. "But I've said it before that loyalty is the core of my being, my Origin. I can do anything if it's loyal enough. You have no Origin. What is your being supposed to be? Erlösch!"

Before the other Issei can answer, he disappears completely.

Issei collapses to the ground.

He tried to rape one of my friends and tried to purchase another to rape her.

....

... well. It sounds like you got of easy.

Really?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Yes, really. I'm a good person - my opposite is therefore evil.

[pandorabox]

... that happened to a lot of people. I hate this virus.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I hope I am forgiven for this...

[pandorabox]

It wasn't you. It was some... weird version of you.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I should have been stronger and stopped himn earlier.

[pandorabox]

Don't blame yourself. Guy was pretty strong.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Servant-level. No human on my world is that strong or fast.

[pandorabox]

... a complete opposite, huh.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

In many ways.

[pandorabox]

I think mine's still human.

Yes. Very human indeed.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That's good. I'm glad you're getting along.

[pandorabox]

... getting along is a bit of a stretch.

I tried replacing his wardrobe with more acceptable clothing, but he found out and tied me to a chair.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

At least he didn't gag you and then break up with Nakamori. ...You don't want to break up with Nakamori, do you, opposite?

[pandorabox]

I am not dating Aoko-san, nor do I have any interest in dating her. Or anyone else, actually.

... I guess I'm lucky there.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You're right. He could want to date me.

[pandorabox]

Dating is pointless. There are far more important things than having a girlfriend or a boyfriend.

It'd be better than him trying to run around and kill everyone he knows.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

That's certainly true.

[pandorabox]

And he's still really annoying.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You're still lucky.
