He turned his head back, paranoid that the police were already inside his house. He didn't know why he was going to his house, especially if the beast was there. But he needed to quickly grab a beer. He was dying for one ever since he was admitted.

He saw something that literally stunned him. He indeed saw the beast, but he also saw him with his son and Amy.

"What are you doing with my son? And Amy?" he shouted, pointing a finger at him. "You better not hurt them or I'll…"

The beast snarled. "I'm not doing anything with them! How could you accuse me of…"

"Because you're a beast! And I'll bet you're hungry, huh? Well, you aren't going to…"

The beast marched up to him, giving out a roar and lifting his claw. His claw was about to strike him, until both Amy and Miles halted it.

"Stop it you two! You both need to get along!" Amy asserted, as she tucked his claw away.

"Get along?" Sonic's eyes were dots as he began to shriek. "Get along? This thing will kill you! He was the one who sent me to the hospital! He was the one who…"

"Sonic, stop it. You need to listen to him. He's a part of you, after all."

"He's a part of…what?" Sonic sat down on a chair, confused.

"He's a part of you, dad. You have…split identities…"

"Split identities? Miles, I don't have multiple personalities! And how is that possible?"

"Sonic. You have split identities because…" she started. "Let's put it this way…" She got out an orange and a knife from the kitchen. "Here's you. You're whole. Then, something terrible happened to you. You become so…traumatized that…" She sliced the orange, it becoming two. "…You become two people, each with their own separate personalities…"

"Nothing terrible happened to me. In fact, I had a healthy childhood…"

"Liar!" the beast snapped.

"Well, it looks like each one have their own separate memories, too…" Miles commented.

"Look you guys, this is ridiculous. I never had a bad thing happen to me that caused me to split," Sonic said, as he grabbed a beer from the fridge. "But now do you believe me that I have a monster in my house?"

"Sonic, even though you really did not attempt suicide, you're still in denial. All I heard from the beast that you had a bad past. So bad, you…"

"Well, I didn't. I don't believe this one bit…" He took a gulp of his beer. "By the way Miles, we're moving and changing our names. Because I'm sure as hell not going back to that hospital."

"So you escaped?" Amy proclaimed. "Sonic!"

"What? You knew I didn't belonged there. The police are now after me."

"Dad, you're…running away from your problems again…"

"Your son is right," the beast said. "All you've been doing is running. Running from your problems…you need to be a man to your son and face them. It's not right for you to keep doing this."

"So are you saying I have to go back? But I…I…"

"Yes Sonic, except you have to tell the truth. That you have a split identity…"

"And I'll go with you!" The beast rose.

"But you can't! You're not a…"

"Here's something I haven't told you guys…Not a lot of people can see me. Only those who truly believe that I'm real can see me. This is why your son and Amy can see me."

"That's…strange. Why is that?" Sonic lifted his head to see his face.

"Because not a lot of people believe in this sort of thing."

"Then why can I see you? I don't believe you're my other identity."

"Because I'm you, of course!"

He heard a knock on the door. "Open up! Police!"

"Well guys, I'll surrender and…go back. I'll have to admit, the beast is right. My problems just get bigger the more I avoid them. And you can come with me, Mr. Beast. I'm sure the police won't see you."

He went up to the door and opened it. He explained to them that he'd go back and cooperate with them once he's finished with his beer.

"So you came back, Sonic. You too, Silver." Sonic saw both Shadow and Silver, sitting across from him. He thought he would never see their faces again. "Sonic, you decided to come back. Silver, the police saw you trying to use your 'psychic powers' on a gumball machine in a store." Silver drooped his head, as if in embarrassment. "Will both of you actually cooperate with us, so both of you will get better?"

"But I…really have psychic abilities. I'm not delusional," Silver mumbled.

"Sonic, what about you? I know you have a problem with denial…"

"Well, I don't know exactly what my problem is. I mean…"

"Sonic, your problem is your depression. And your denial. You deny that you're depressed. This is a problem with most males your age."

"I didn't do it. The beast did," he replied.
