"Well, here we are."

The trio had arrived at the magnificent, symmetrical gallows manor.

As the trio and their new friend walked in, green-hair looked around. "just as I predicted this place would be. Symmetrical, not a hair out of place."

"just as I like it. Elizabeth, Patricia, set him up in the guest room. I'm exhausted." Said Kid, yawning and raising his arms perfectly symmetrically as he walked up the stairs to his room.

"Gotcha. C'mon… erm… what's your name?" Liz said to green-hair behind her. Not hearing a response, she turned around, to see Patty standing alone. Green-hair was nowhere in sight.

"where'd he go?" said Liz nervously. She didn't like the idea of this guy walking around their house unmonitored.

"giraffe giraffe giraffe…" said Patty, playing with one of the hundreds of stuffed giraffes spread around the manor.

"sigh. Whatever. I'm gonna go get ready for- whoop!" said Liz, the last bit contributed to her nearly tripping over green-hair.

He was curled up in the middle of the floor, like a dog.

"I'll catch you guys in the morning. I won't waste one of your beds on myself." he said as he closed his eyes. Well, his good eye. His weird black-yellow eye didn't have a lid, but the yellow bit just disappeared, like it turned off.

"um…"said Liz. She couldn't just leave him here on the floor, or her conscience would kill her. "it… it's not a waste…" She didn't really know how to deal with this guy.

"of course it is." Said green-hair, not opening his eyes. "I'm such a useless excuse for a being that I don't deserve a bed. I don't even deserve the heater for this house. I'll sleep on the porch." He dragged himself up, and walked zombielike to the door they had just entered through.

"hey!" Liz was used to dealing with low self esteem (she lived with kid, after all) but this was just depressing. "you can't sleep on the porch!"

"you know what? Youre right. Of course I cant." Said green-hair, his hand on the doorknob. "I'll sleep in the middle of the street, where no light will reach me. Maybe a car will hit me and put me out of my misery."

Liz gawked. This guy's ego was about as low as a bottomless pit.

"Dammit!" she suddenly said, irritated at this guy's sheer depression. "stop with the self-insults! Nobody should treat anyone this way, let alone themselves! Leave yourself alone!"

"oh really? Give me a good reason not to go out there and lay in the middle of the street." Green-hair said, now standing on the porch. "nobody knows my name. im just a useless piece of crap. I deserve to die."

"STOP IT!" said Liz, now downright at this guy's depression. She slapped him on the side of the head, almost having to jump to reach it, he was so tall. "don't do this to yourself! You don't deserve this."

"dammit! Don't try to stop me! Im useless! Im just a waste of death city's resources! I-" he stopped suddenly. His body suddenly gave a violent shudder, and Liz heard him whisper words. The words didn't sound English.

He suddenly turned around again, looking down at Liz who was right in front of him, almost 3 inches shorter then him. His lips bent into a small, akward smile. "god, I'm sorry. I must have looked pretty freaky right there, all the talk of killing myself."

"Um… what?" said Liz, still somewhat surprised at the sudden mood swing.

"You'll have to excuse me. You see…" he said, putting his arm around liz' shoulders, guiding her slowly into the manor once more. "…I have a bit of a split personality disorder. Or, split emotion disorder. Right there, you saw depression, who got the controls for a few minutes."

"um… ok…" said Liz, getting out of her shock. "what personality are you in right now?"

"meh, now I'm just in happy mode. I'll try to stay in it as much as I can, but I cant garuntee that I'll be in it 24-7."

"why's that?" said Liz, who now watched him lie down on the couch and close his eyes.

"the reason I have these mood swings…" he said, not opening his eyes, "is that…"

"I'm insane."

Liz stared at him for a moment before he said, "and on that happy note, I bid you good night, Elizabeth." He said, now sleeping.

Liz stared at him for another minute, before she walked upstairs, wondering if it would have been best for him to sleep outside after all.
