I forgot to mention ealrier in the story that Sumi, Yumi, Sada, Toki and Hana are all MY made up characters. No one can steal them. Also (obviously) Beyblade isn't my story.
Case 1: Max
Why am I starting to feel so hollow inside? I feel like all hope and life is being sucked out of me. I feel miserable and exhausted.
You are beginning to realize that you have been lying to yourself.
Part of me thinks that, but there is something else. I can feel it. Something just doesn't seem right.
You are lying to yourself right now. Why do you continue to do that?
This doesn't seem quite right. This isn't me thinking these mean thoughts and asking these terrible questions. I don't think it is me… No, it isn't me. Then what is it?
Why… do you keep lying? You're only hurting yourself.
This isn't me saying these things…but what is it? What!
Case 2: Kai
Why do I feel so helpless? I feel so terrible. I am fighting back the feeling, but it seems to be pushing back at me with more force…
It is because you are finally figuring out the truth about yourself.
Is that true? Am I figuring out the truth?
Yes.
Is that it, or are you tricking me? It has been you beating me up about all these dark secrets and memories.
Do you really believe that?
Yes I do.
Do you really believe that?
You are trying to trick me again. I know that now, but the question is, is who are you and why are you doing this?
Case 3: Sumi
I am starting to feel drained of energy. I don't know how many more emotional blows I can take. Did this happen suddenly, or has it been happening slowly?
You are asking yourself useless questions.
The main thing that is questionable is, are all these questions coming from inside of me, or is this cruel abuse coming from some other source?
You are too curious. You will hurt yourself further.
There is something peculiar going on. Whatever source all this abuse is coming from, it doesn't want me asking it any questions. It doesn't want me to figure out something. It's hiding something. I am beginning to doubt that I am hopeless. If I can remember exactly what happened when I went down into that room, then I might figure out what is happening. I was hit in the head by one of those crazy kids, but I wasn't knocked out. I could still vaguely see what was going on. The put me in a chair and pointed some sort of beam into my eyes. Then I blacked out, and next thing I know… I was here. So that beam did something to me! That is what brought me here. This is some sort of device that works its way into your head!
Computer malfunction: cases combined.
(Sumi) Wait! All the darkness is fading, and everything is becoming white.
(Max) Two people are coming into view…
(Kai) Max and Sumi! I can see them!
Wait a minute…there is another person coming into view.
A woman in black?
Who is she?
(Woman) You three surpassed the program! How is that possible?
The program? That must be where all those questions were coming from.
She just said that we surpassed the program. How did we do that?
I think that the machine was used to make us feel terrible about ourselves and believe that we are horrible people. When we began to doubt that what it was saying was true, the system crashed.
Yeah…when I began to question it, they questions became more strained.
No one has ever been able to escape the machine. I can't believe that three teenagers beat the program!
Hey! Everything's dissolving again. I can see three more people.
