303,

Two Cyclones, facing each other.

However, Cyclone guessed the identity of the other from the beginning, the Source of Darkness.

They had the same appearance, even their movements and voices were identical. Cyclone even thought their thoughts were the same.

But Cyclone was wrong, the Source of Darkness is the Source of Darkness, and Cyclone is Cyclone, their consciousnesses are different.

Indeed, everything the person in front of them said was true: Yuna's past, everything that happened to her. It was all factual.

But what difference does it make to speak these facts?

Upon closer inspection, aside from the facts the Source of Darkness mentioned, everything he said about Cyclone's thoughts was wrong.

He was only projecting his own most normal thoughts, speaking about the thoughts Cyclone had in the past.

Cyclone doesn't deny that it's because he couldn't forget Yuna's body that he kept pursuing her.

But after going through the events of Seven Sins City and Riverbranch, Cyclone has changed. New thoughts have emerged, allowing Cyclone to finally understand what he wants and what his love truly is.

So, the Source of Darkness made a big mistake. He revealed the fact that he couldn't understand what Cyclone was thinking.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Cyclone smirked and replied in the same tone.

But after a few seconds, there was no response from the other side, so Cyclone spoke again.

"It's despair, despair. If you don't feel despair, how can you call yourself desperate?"

Cyclone noticed the change in the other's eyes. It seems Cyclone has caught on to the Source of Darkness's weakness.

What exactly is despair?

Cyclone knows very well, but he has already crossed that line. He didn't even expect that he could cross it so easily.

This is who he is, this is Cyclone. After realizing his true thoughts, he came to the realization that everything is just overthinking...

What's the Source of Darkness? Just a bunch of negative energy. What is there to fear? What is this person thinking? It can be figured out to some extent. Despair? Ha? Yuna is already ahead, very close...

In that instant, Cyclone noticed something important.

At the same time, the Source of Darkness, who had the same appearance as Cyclone, started to smirk.

"Trying to provoke me? It won't work."

As the Source of Darkness spoke, he slowly disappeared.

"Because... the only person who would be anxious is you."

"Tch!"

If you can't win an argument, run away. Alright, that's despair.

Cyclone couldn't help but applaud.

Just as the Source of Darkness said, the only person who is currently anxious is Cyclone.

But at the same time, Cyclone also understood one thing.

The Source of Darkness would not help oneself, even if one's words were shaken, they would not take any action to resist or assist.

All of this points to one fact, that this desperate will, at best, is just a will.

Apart from nagging on the side, it is useless.

Let's ignore it~

Drawing a conclusion, Cyclone once again recalled the hypothesis that had just occurred to oneself.

"The so-called despair~ is the thing you least want to happen, the thing you least want to face. It is not only physical, but also psychological rejection, but in the world..."

Hmm... that Source of Darkness is still talking~ so annoying~ no wonder they're so desperate, could it be that they don't have any friends?

Cyclone slowly began to ignore the Source of Darkness, which only had a voice and no visible figure, and started thinking.

Well~ I still pay attention to it, which means I still can't ignore it completely. No wonder it's so scary, constantly nagging around me and the voice directly entering my mind, but...

"Hahaha... take your time to think~ take your time to waste time here~ that woman, that slut who has slept with countless men, you can never save her!! Let her die, there's no pity~"

That's all, besides talking all the time, they can't do anything else, um... no, there is one thing!

The voice comes and goes, the disappearing Source of Darkness reappears, sometimes in front, sometimes behind.

Seemingly everywhere, proving how annoying they are.

But Cyclone slowly gets used to it, imagining the other person as an idiot, and then treating them as a transparent person.

New thoughts emerge, combining with the previous thoughts.

Cyclone quickly understands where oneself is.

Close the eyes and ignore everything.

Whether it's that annoying Source of Darkness, or even this black world right now, ignore everything.
