In that moment, something snapped inside of Teddie. His eyes turned purple. "What the-" Rise was in shock as she looked at Teddie. "What?" He chuckled. "Never seen or heard of an alter ego before?" Teddie's nails became longer and sharper and he had used them to cut the rope binding him. "W-What the heck are you?" Rise stepped back with each step he took toward her. "Oh, are you afraid of me now?" Teddie taunted Rise. "Well you should be!" He threw a rather large lab table to the side. Rise flinched at the sound of the table breaking against the wall. "I-I'm sorry!" Rise's eyes were shut tight as tears streamed down her cheeks. Teddie raised his hand, ready to kill Rise. "N-No...p-p-please don't hurt her..." Teddie turned around. There lay Alisa: her eyes half shut and tears streaming down her face. "Lissy..." Teddie said as he lowered his hand. "My poor Lissy..." He walled over to her, picked up her circuit board and put it back into place. Alisa slowly lifted her hand and put it against his face. "Lissy... You can't go..." His eyes looked softly at her. Rise saw this as an opportunity and quietly left through the back door. Teddie's eyes grew softer with each second going by. "T-Teddie I-I-" Her body went limp. "Alisa!" Teddie shook her lifeless body. "ALISA!" He punched a hole into a nearby wall. "Lissy..." He looked towards her body as tears filled his eyes. "LISSY, I'M SORRY!" Tears poured down his cheeks as he rested his head on her collar bone. "Lissy... I'm sorry." His words soft like a feather. He moved his hand along the jagged edges of her circuit board, but then quickly pulled his hand back. Teddie stared at his finger, blood pooling at the top. He turned his hand upside down and let the blood drip onto Alisa's control panel. The blood trickled off of it and onto the ripped wires. A few sparks here and there then a faint gasp of air. "L-Lissy?" Teddie turned his head towards her face to see if she was alive. His eyes grew wide and began to fill with tears. She was breathing but she seemed to be asleep. He used his sleeve to wipe his eyes then picked up Alisa, bridal style, and left the hospital. As Teddie walked, her still in his arms, Alisa began to open her eyes and speak. "Teddie," she said faintly. "Yes, my sweet Lissy?" He kept his eyes straight ahead of him. "Thank you." Alisa said back. "You know I love you right?" Teddie looked into her eyes and smiled. "I love you too." Alisa returned the gaze and smile. Teddie stopped walking so she could stand up. Alisa gazed into his deep purple eyes and pulled him close so that their foreheads and noses were now touching. "You may be an alter ego," Alisa smiled brightly. "But you're the best one I've ever known."
