(Stein's POV.)

I awaken once again, but I do not open my eyes.

Stein, what are you doing?

'Go...go...go away. Get out.' I think.

Nope. I'm here to stay.

'Why? What did I ever do to deserve this...maybe my existence in itself is what brought forth this evil. Maybe my soul brought forth you...Maybe I am the evil...Maybe I am you...'

Sorry, but I am not ever going to be as low as you and your kind. You disgusting humans.

'Yeah. Humans are disgusting. Sadly I am one. I hate it. I wish I wasn't one. I can't stand my own species, and I can't stand being part of that species. It's a living hell...You know what?'

Do enlighten me.

'I don't really hate you. I've actually become quite fond of you over these many years, though I do wish you would stop causing me such pain and such insanity.

You infected my soul with it. You, Mr. Monster, infected my soul with a plague of insanity.'

Stein, I thought I told you to call me Demise. That is my name, you know. And anyways, I did not 'infect you with insanity'. You, Franken Stein, infected yourself.

'Yeah. I know that. I just wish you didn't encourage it. I wish you would help me...I wish that someone would care...'

I know this is hard to believe, but I do care. I care about you Stein. I'm really sorry that I was so loud and that I hurt you.

Mr. Monster, also known as Demise, says this in such an innocent voice that I want to believe him, but I know for a fact that he is lying. No one could ever care about something like me.

'No. You don't care. You're lying.'

Yeah, probably so. But it is quite amusing to see your face when you get all hopeful.

'...'

So? Are you ever going to get up. You can't just lie here forever.

'In case you didn't notice, I am tied down. I couldn't get up even if i wanted to. By the way...Never ever scream at me like that again. Those static screams are going to kill me.'

That's my plan.

When he says this, I can practically see him, mentally, grinning like a sociopath, which, by the way, he happens to be.

'Shut up or go away. I want to sleep some more.'

Not an option. You need to find a way out of here so things can go back to normal.

'Normal meaning what exactly? Me going back to killing everyone and...'

Dissecting everyone? Yeah, pretty much. But don't you want to go back to that. Remember how much fun it was?

'Yeah, it was fun. So much fun. I miss it so much. Maybe we can escape and then we can do it some more.'
