_{Conversation With A Psychopath}

First Victim: The Girl Who Couldn't Feel

"Why hello there, haven't spoken to you in a while."

"..."

"How have you been?"

"...Bad."

"Not very talkative, are we?"

"...No."

"Alright, I'll just cut to the chase already."

"...Please do."

"Do you know who I am?"

"No, I don't."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"..."

"Dell, your name is Dell Honne."

"That's right. Do you remember your own name?"

"Forgot."

"Try a bit harder."

"Len Kagamine."

"That's not it."

"Yes, it is."

"No, that's the name of the boy you murdered."

"Oh."

"Your name is Tei Sukone."

"Not Len Kagamine?"

"No, not Len Kagamine."

"..."

"Do you know why you're here?"

"..."

"You're here precisely because you killed that boy."

"..."

"And I'm here to talk to you about it."

"..."

"Is it alright if I talk to you about it?"

"..."

"Tell me, Tei, why did you take his life?"

"Because..."

"Go on."

"Because..."

"Yes."

"Because..."

"Don't stop."

"Because I loved hi-."

SLAP

"Lesson one, Tei: You don't feel."

"...I don't?"

"Nope."

"How come?"

"Who knows."

"...What?"

"What I said."

"Uh, okay."

"So, again I'll ask: Why did you take Len Kagamine's life?

"I already told you."

"Oh, you did? Didn't hear you."

"..."

"Just tell me again, Tei."

"...Because I loved hi-"

SLAP

"I told you you don't feel, so stop pretending like you do."

"..."

"And I'm going to slap you every time you don't get that, understand?"

"..."

"Understand, Tei?"

"...Yeah, I get it."

"Good girl."

.

.

.

.

"So, why did you really kill him?"

"Because I wanted to have what he had."

"And what was that?"

"..."

"Was it love?"

"..."

"Perhaps happiness?"

"..."

"Possibly joy?"

"..."

"Sadness, anger, fear, all of the above?"

"Yes, that one."

"Okay, Tei, okay."

X

"Do you want to ask me something this time?"

"Yes, I do."

"What would you like to know, Tei?"

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"You told me that you answered the why of the question."

"And what makes you think I did?"

"I've met you before."

"It's true, isn't it? In this exact same room, nonetheless."

"...Yeah."

"Good times, good times..."

"..."

"Go on."

"Tell me then, why?"

"There are many why's."

"How about why I did it?"

"You mean why you killed him?"

"Yes, why did I kill him?"

"Because you're crazy, Tei, that's why."

"..."

"Are you not happy with that answer?"

"..."

"Do you not want to talk to me anymore?"

"..."

"I'm offended, Tei."

"...Why am I crazy?"

"Because your mind's screwed up."

"How so?"

"You think things others don't."

"Why do I do that?"

"Because you don't know any better."

"Why don't I know any better?"

"Because nobody thought you how."

"...Will you teach me, Dell?"

"Teach you love? Sorry, Tei, I can't do that."

X

"But you can teach it to yourself."

"No, I can't."

"You can learn how to love."

"No, I can't."

"And learn how to be happy."

"I can't do that, either."

"Why not? You loved him, didn't you?"

"..."

"You loved Len, didn't you?"

"..."

"Didn't you, Tei?"

"Yes, I did."

SLAP

"Have you learned nothing, Tei?"

"I DI-"

SLAP

"Stubborn girl, stubborn, stubborn girl."

"..."

"Stop this game: Tell me the truth already."

"...No, I didn't...?"

"Don't ask me: Ask yourself, Tei."

"..."

"What does yourself say, Tei?"

"...It says 'yes, I did'."

SLAP

"What does yourself say, Tei?"

"...It says 'no, I didn't."

"That's right, you didn't love him."

"..."

"But you wanted to."

"..."

"You wanted to so much that, when you couldn't, you blamed it on him."

"And I killed him."

"Yes, and you killed him."

"Then I felt anger?"

"No, you didn't."

"Rage?"

"Neither."

"Frustration?"

"Never have."

"Sadness? Fear? Desperation? Sorrow? Guilt? Pain? Regret?"


"None of those are true to you."

"...Anything?"

"Nope. You felt nothing, Tei, nothing."

.

.

.

.

"Oh, okay, I get it."

X

"I feel sad for you Tei, do you feel sad for yourself?"

"Yes, I-"

"Do you feel sad for yourself, Tei?"

"...No, I don't."

"That's good, Tei, you're learning."

X

"Now let's look at the crime scene, shall we?"

"Whatever."

"What do you remember about the day you killed him?"

"Before or after?"

"How about before?"

"..."

"Do you remember feeling happy?"

"Yes, I do."

"Do you remember feeling glad?"

"Yes, I do."

"Do you remember feeling loved?"

"Yes, I do."

"Get your facts straight Tei: Do you remember feeling?"

"..."

"Or did you think you were feeling?"

"..."

"Answer me, Tei, which one was it?"

"I... I don't know."

"Don't worry, I'm here to teach you."

"Then teach me, Dell."

"...Don't get me wrong, Tei."

"Teach me, Dell."

"..."

"Teach me to lo-"

SLAP

"You can't love, Tei, so get rid of that idea already."

X

"I hate you, Dell."

"You don't feel hate, Tei."

"Yes I-"

"But I do hate you, Tei, so no worries."

"..."

X

"After."

"Red."

"Where?"

"Everywhere."

"Like?"

"Him."

"Len?"

"Yes."

"And?"

"Me."

"More?"

"Scream."

"From?"

"Her."

"Rin?"

"Rin."

"Dead?"

"Both."

"..."

"..."

"Feel?"

"Bliss."

"Nothing."

X

"What's with the long face? Something wrong, Tei?"

"..."

"Come on, you can tell me."

"...Kill me, Dell."

"Not yet, Tei, not yet..."

X

"Okay, Tei, I'm going to mention people and I want you to tell me what you feel when I do."

"I don't feel."

"Of course you don't."
"..."

"Ready?"

"Ready."

"Len?"

"Confusion."

"Rin?"

"Hate."

"Your mother?"

"Frustration."

"Your father?"

"Fear."

"Your sister?"

"Uncertainty."

"What do they all share?"

"They're all dead."

"You killed them, yes, but what else?"

"..."

"What do you feel for all of them?"

"..."

"That's right, Tei: Nothing."

.

.

.

.

"Ah, I see."

X

"What's wrong, Tei?"

"Nothing's wrong."

"Are you mad?"

"No, I'm not."

"Are you afraid?"

"No, I'm not."

"Are you sad?"

"No, I'm not."

"Are you happy?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"No, I'm not."

"No regrets then?"

"I can't feel any."

"It's time then."

"Time for what?"

"For you to go to sleep."

"I will go to sleep then."

"Good girl."

"I'm a good girl."

"..."

"..."

"Are you waiting for something?"

"Answer me a question."

"Only one?"

"Only one."

"Which is it?"

"Will I feel something?"

"No, you won't."

"Will you-"

"You said one."

"I said one."

"That was one."

"Okay, okay."

"Dell."

"..."

"I'm still here."

"..."

"But you're not."

"..."

"I killed you."

"..."

"Just like I did so many times before."

"..."

"...I still don't feel anything."

"..."

"Why can't I feel anything?"

"..."

"Did you feel something?"

"..."

"I'm sure you did."

"..."

"But only pain, only pain is what you felt."

"..."

"...Or did you feel sympathy?"

"..."

"For this girl who cannot feel?"

"..."

"...I want to feel pain, too, Dell."

"..."

"Will I feel pain?"

"..."

"I'll answer for you: No, Tei, you won't."

"..."

"...Whatever."

"I lied to you, Tei: You can feel, but only like this. And what you just hit was an empty wall, and your beating heart."

"Oh, thank you, Dell."

"You're welcome, Tei."
