I saw that too. I heard you lost time, and there was another person who showed up in your place. I didn't get to speak with him, he wasn't there for too long.
[So his new friend loses control over his mind when the 'other' takes over, usually in times of extreme stress. Nie Huaisang's never heard of such a thing, and thus is absolutely fascinated.]
I'm sorry to hear that your father was cruel. Is that why you're here? Because he takes over?
[It's the story he's been working on since he arrived. Aaron is simply a poor soul, shuttled aboard the Barge because of Roy's sins. Aaron is simply a vessel for Roy to get his redemption and, if he needs more proof, eventually the two can merge.
[At least Huaisang knows he did wrong. He can remember every step of his plan, every little point and detail, the satisfaction of the final stab through his enemy's chest.]
[He agrees, very much so. He shouldn't have to look at the man he killed and entombed, but yet, here they both were.]
I'll make the best of it. [He sits back and closes his fan again.] It's clear to me now that we're not done with each other. You should stay far away from him though. I don't need more reason to loathe him.

I don't - don't remember any of it. They said at - at my trial that he was there, but - but I don't - don't know.
no subject
Who is he?
no subject
Don't - don't know. I'm sorry. I don't - don't talk to him or anything.

[He hesitates, then continues.]
He didn't know how - how it started or nothing.
no subject
The other one is violent, and protective of you.
no subject
[He rubs the back of his neck.]
Started when - when I was a kid, I guess. My daddy he - he wasn't a very nice man. But I don't remember cuz - cuz I lost time a lot.

He killed - killed the Bishop. I got - got scared and ran. But I think - think he's supposed to be the inmate.
no subject
You've been dragged here because of the crimes he committed, is that so?

Maybe this place can make you into a singular person again.
no subject
[And there's a hint of a sneer, of a self satisfied smile, before he looks back to his book.]
no subject
It's good that you have a protector.
no subject
[Not that he's seen much of the danger himself.]
no subject
There are people you need to avoid, and sometimes frightening things can happen, but the day-to-day is boring.
no subject
[Huaisang's been here longer. It's a logical question!]
no subject
Avoid Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao. Xue Yang was the one who stabbed me not too long ago. They're evil, vicious men.
no subject
Stabbed you! Oh. What - what did Jin Guangyao do?
no subject
He killed my brother.
no subject
Oh.
I - I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to see his face.
no subject
