Edicius : Come out, 'sal'.

Sal : You don't belong here.

Edicius : That's where you're wrong. This is my place as well.

Sal : I created this, and without you to guide nor influence me.

Edicius : I am you.

Sal : And i am you as well. I created you and i

Edicius : AND I WILL DESTROY YOU.

Sal : How can you destroy me when you aren't even the primary being in MY body ?

Edicius : Do you really think that i am your doing ? Do you really think that only one person came out of that womb ?

Sal : Yes, and that is i.

Edicius : You deny it still ? Then why do you have to fight yourself ? Why do you have to struggle so hard ?

Sal : We all have our own demons to face.

Edicius : And i am your demon, as i am YOU.

Sal : What do you want ?

Edicius : I want you to die.

Sal : You will die as well if i should fall.

Edicius : That is where you are wrong. You are weak. You don't deserve to take hold of this body.

Sal : And how are you stronger than me ?

Edicius : Who do you think drives you crazy ? Why do you think you're going insane ? Why are you so depressed ? Why do you turn to alcohol and cigarettes so often ? And most recently, who do you think is waking you up when you sleep ? Why do you have these nightmares ? Because of my power. Because of me.

Sal : Yet i am strong enough to contain you.

Edicius : Then why am i calling to you now ?

Sal : Because you are desperate.

Edicius : Big words for a small man like yourself. Coward.

Sal : I am not afraid.

Edicius : You are. Stop denying it. You are afraid of everything. Afraid of life, afraid of love, afraid of ME.

Sal : I don't have to listen to you. I lost people because of you. I lost people because of your actions, but i'm the one who bears the fault and the blame. I bear the pain, and you cause it. You don't deserve to live.

Edicius : Oh yes i do. I am strong enough; not like you who has to turn to others like the weakling you are. Where is your japanese girl now ? Face it - face me. There is noone to help you now. Noone can save you from yourself.

Sal : I do not need to be saved. I don't need anyone, especially not her. She makes me feel better, yes, but i can fight you alone.

Edicius : You mean like now ? Then why are your hands shaking ?

Sal : These hands are yours as well, fool.

Edicius : The only fool i see comes before me in the mirror every morning. The same fool that i love to bother during the night. The same fool that i shake and tumble when he least expects it. Isn't this beautiful ; the game i'm playing ? Noone knows about me because you choose not to tell anyone. You choose to look strong and hide this from people. Even when you -do- tell them ; what makes you think i'll be stupid enough to show myself ? What makes you think that i will allow myself to be defeated ?

Sal : I share the same body as you; i share the same intelligence and feelings as you. I know you, and i will use this knowledge to defeat you.

Edicius : Never. You will never push me away, because i know you need me. Without me, you are nothing. Without me; you are a voice without emotion. A song without a scream. You are a body without soul. Without me YOU ARE NOTHING.

Sal : What is a scream without a song then ? You are just noise. Nothing to be paid attention to.

Edicius : That makes sense, coming from a fucking attention seeker such as yourself. Do you remember how much you hurt other people when you wanted their attention ? Do you remember ?

Sal : That was you.

Edicius : It doesn't matter what you think anymore, boy. All that is yours will be mine. Your material possessions, your clothes, your friends, your family and even the one you love.

Sal : That will never happen.

Edicius : It WILL.

Sal : I won't let you claim that which is most precious to me. As long as i love, you will never defeat me.

Edicius : I can use that love too. I can use that love to bring them to me, and away from you. I will have all these things and all these people with me - in my palms,wrapped around my fingers and on the tip of my tongue.

Sal : You cannot have them, because they know me and certainly not you.

Edicius : You are pathetic.

Sal : As are you. There can be no you without me. I still have a purpose. Dare you disagree ?

Edicius : THEN YOU WILL DIE. ONLY I WILL REMAIN.
