It wasn't long after Lisa's death when Ryou's mother started looking twice as hard for a new therapist.
She found many, however none of them lasted long.
Being the religions woman that she was, she was beginning to wonder if her poor son had been possessed by a demon.
And as farfetched as the idea seemed to her, she wasn't actually that far off from the truth.
It was strange to her.
That every therapist who she'd send her son to, would only suffer the same fate as Doctor Robert.
Only unlike Doctor Robert, the rest of the bodies had disappeared all together.
Oh, what was she to do?
The corpse of the seventeenth doctor lay before them.
Voice was sure to add the man's soul to the little pawn that he had brought with.
Ryou giggled and applauded him with great enthusiasm, "Oh, that was marvelously frightening!"
"Why, thank-you, Landlord." Voice smirked, sitting down on the floor and cutting the body into different pieces.
"You sure love doing that."
Voice laughed and jumped onto the seat where Ryou was sitting, embracing him in a hug, "That's because I thought of a new game."
"Game?"
"Oh, yes!" Voice kissed the boy on the cheek, and appeared right by the corpse again. "We still have plenty of time before our dear mother comes for us... Let's play my game, shall we?"
Ryou smiled, "I'd love to, Voice."
"The rules are quite simple." Voice went onto explaining as he continued cutting and pulling at the man, "You, my Landlord, will count to exactly twenty seconds while I go and hide the fool's limbs within the room."
"And then I have to find them?"
"Yesss."
Ryou curled up on the sofa chair, covering his eyes as he began to count.
As he did so, Voice carried the body parts around, placing them into various areas in the room.
"Nineteen... Twenty." Ryou grinned a looked around to see Voice standing in the center of the room.
"Everything is ready for you."
"Well, here I go!" Ryou got up from his seat, and Voice sat there instead.
With Voice giving him clues every so often, Ryou went around the room in search.
"You're close to one, Landlord."
"Ah, thanks."
Ryou smiled when he saw blood dripping from a drawer, and he swung it open, pulling out an arm, which had been severely abused in order to fit.
Only a moment later he managed to find a leg in the cabinet.
This one was more difficult to get out, due to the foot getting caught in something, and Ryou had to give it a good yank, tearing the foot right off.
The torso was discovered in plain sight, between the gap of the door and the plant, with a finger in the plant's soil.
"I have to say, I didn't think you'd find so many right away." Voice said, impressed.
Ryou giggled, "Well, I really love your games, Voice."
It didn't take him too long to find the rest of the limbs.
The second leg and arm were together, crossed under the pillow of the second sofa seat.
He found the head as the best for last, under the desk.
Ryou had to get on all fours to get under and pull it out by the hair.
"Oof!" He lifted the head up, dropping it into the pile of limbs that he had made in the center of the room.
It was Voice's turn to clap, "Well done, Landlord!"
"Thank-you, Voice!" Ryou curtsied with the long, not-so white anymore, jacket he was wearing.
The two lookalikes lifted all the body parts up, tossing them into the garbage and burst into laughter.
Once they were sitting down again, Voice put a strand of Ryou's hair into his mouth, sucking off the blood, "I like you when you're red, Landlord."
Ryou, who wasn't the most sure how to take that, simply smiled and nodded.
"Good Heavens… What on Earth happened to you, Ryou?" Ryou's mother asked when she met him at the entrance.
"He's dead, I'm sorry, Mother."
"Oh…"
There was no possible way to hide how afraid she was of her wonderful son.
"Well, let's just go home."
"Alright, Mother." Ryou smiled, taking her hand and they went on back to the car.
There was just no way around it.
She had given birth to a psychopathic child.
Not that she didn't love Ryou.
She loved him with all her heart.
But…
Something had to be done.
And if therapy wasn't going to do the trick, then she was just going to have to find something else.
