"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth." - Oscar Wilde
Ryou's inner thoughts were a closely guarded secret. He rarely spoke. Not for fear of embarrassing himself. He could do that quite well without speaking, thank you very much. But he kept quiet for fear that he would reveal too much of himself. In letting people know him, he opened not only himself up to their opinions, but also opened them up to danger from the Spirit living inside of him. So he kept his mouth shut.
Maybe that's why Ryou never really got around to throwing the Spirit out. Every time the Spirit came out, it acted out Ryou's violent thoughts. Every time he wanted to punch or kick or yell in frustration, he kept it inside, and the Spirit took all that frustration out on their enemies. Never mind that those enemies were sometimes innocent people Ryou had never met. All that mattered was that he could remain quiet and distant around people he knew. He had to protect them. And if allowing innocents to get sent to the Shadow Realm was the only way to do that, well, the Spirit's creative side had to come from somewhere…
A/N: Not sure how I feel about this one... What do you think?
