"Wonderful. Now that Pit's gone I can be alone. He actually buys into the whole "I'm in love with a girl and I can't tell them how I feel!" thing. Hmph, he is too gullible. But, he isn't a bad friend. I don't like that I called him my friend... Why does he annoy me so much? Why is Pit such a nuisance? Is it me? Do I not like seeing myself in someone else? No. That's not it. I like myself just fine. I am not a little kid anymore. I have self-esteem." I mumbled to myself.
"Maybe I dislike him because of what isn't like me? His happiness bugs me, but... he IS nice to be around. I am still having trouble with what I've seen... I can't even tell anyone, especially not Pit. He should get to be happy at Christmas time. It's his favorite time of the year. Actually, I don't know if it is... Now that I think about it, I only think that because it's MY favorite time of the year. I came through that mirror... from MY world." I continued thinking out loud.
"Christmas time in the world I am from is the best... Everything is happy, and everyone leaves me alone. All the people that made fun of me were too busy with their families and friends. I could finally be at peace. The version of Palutena in my world is nothing like this one. She was depressed all the time. She neglected her duties, and I can't stand her! ... Now that I think about it... She was a LOT like me... I mean... I'm not depressed, right? If I wanted to, I could go do my job... I'm CHOOSING not to. Yeah... It's MY decision, and no one else's." My voice was lower now, and quieter.
"If the other Palutena... MY Palutena... If she wasn't like I am now, if she was like Pit's Palutena... Would she have protected me? Would I be like Pit? As much as I don't like him, he has something I don't. He has a place he BELONGS. He belongs at Palutena's side. She gives his life direction, and purpose. I don't have anyone like that. When I met Pit, I started to question my own existence. When he met me, I was just another person to him... He thinks I'm... normal. I don't even deserve that, but he gives out his kindness for free. He shares kindness with everyone, even people who make mistakes..." I stopped, hanging my head.
"Is the individual defined by their experiences? Or are the experiences defined by the individual? I don't know the answer. I don't think ANYONE knows the answer. There isn't anyone like me in this world. There isn't a single person as misunderstood as I am. I am not some alternate version of Pit. I AM Pit. I am me, right? Or was my life stolen from me? Am I truly the lesser of the two, that I would not be considered the original? Maybe this world is just used to Pit the way he is, and I'm... different. They all think I'm a pessimist, but in the world I come from, I'm as optimistic as they come." I closed my eyes, laying down.
"Maybe if I reached out to the Palutena from MY world... maybe I could have what Pit has? No... it isn't the same... and I don't even know how to get back to my world anyway. But... Maybe someone else does." I thought for a moment, and jumped up, "Yes! That's it! I can ask Pandora! If anyone knows about the mirror it's her... but she's in the Labyrinth of Deceit... I have to find a way there. If I can get back to my world in time... Maybe I can spend Christmas... not alone. Maybe I could spend Christmas with MY Palutena. Dark Palutena? I guess that does suit her... But for the Goddess of Light, her spirit doesn't shine..." I crossed my arms.
"It doesn't matter. my spirit doesn't shine either... Maybe if I go back... Dark Palutena and I can be alone... Alone, but together, in the darkest of worlds... I have to get back." I nodded, determined. I heard rustling in a nearby bush, and spun around to see a man running off with a book in hand.
"HEY!" I yelled, but he had already escaped. I gritted my teeth, angry that someone was listening in. "Damn it... I shouldn't have spoken out loud... I am just so used to talking to myself... when no one is around."
