Pathetic Reasonings [ GG #179 ]

————————————————————————

My highness, what have you done?
The walls are painted red and in your hand, a bat is gripped tightly.
Was this the right decision?– I do not doubt you, my lord.
But with all due respect no one will believe you, and from now on—
No one will trust you, my king.

Written personality —
A sociopath shaped by his cruel past, Yuu, or rather, his streetname 'King' is a ruthless invidual. Incapable of feeling genuine emotions anymore, Yuu is mostly silent, quite and reserved. He portrays emotion to get what he wants; anger intimidates others, tears makes them feel symphaty, happiness blinds them, and so on. He trust no one and is paranoid by nature. He will use his closest friends as scapegoats, he will lie, he will betray the second he could, he's just not Yuu that he used to be. For him, emotions are nothing and he only considers logical decisions, feeling biased is a bad, bad thing. He's good with words and will twist and tell tales with his silvertounge- or rather, he will use Telepathy. No secrets can be hidden from him, unless you are lucky or have a good set of mind. A natural leader he is, he might not feel remorse, guilt, empathy or sympathy but he is fair ifyou're one of his pawns and most important of all he'll respect you, even slightly so. Respect is something that he very rarely give, gaining it is almost impossible. Unlike what'd you think, Yuu has no 'good side', he's simply who he is. He might actually be comfortable with your presence but there's a high chance he's faking so.

You just can't.

"Stay still." a hushed voice soothingly lingers in Yuu's ear. Right eye bruised and nose bleeding, he twitched from time to time from the cold air as the other goblin gator tried to tend to his bruise on the other parts of his body. Yuu only kept on being silent as he watched the empty sky and tried to reposition his head on the stone cold wall he was laying on. Neither of them talked much when Yuu rushed to the other's house, but in Yuu's case- he didn't voice his thoughts and instead, kept on being silent. "Hey, Ri." A voice echoes. It can only be heard by the smaller Goblin Gator right beside to Yuu. Telepathy was Yuu's special talent that associated with his element power. He's still honing his other psychic abilities but so far, Telepathy is his strongest. "Hmm?" The other GG hums, slowly rubbing some cream on his bruises. He wasn't alarmed, he knows of Yuu's ability. In the city rare elements like Psychic wasn't common but Yuu's uniqueness didn't end there. It's already quite obvious, but Yuu's ability is quite different as he doesn't float things or see the the future, which the stereotypical psychic ability. Telepathy was in one of the 'commons' list but that's not what made Yuu special. "Do you think everyone will believe it's just… self defense?" His voice echoes once more, weak and deadpanned, no emotions behind it, as if he's dead. "The police likes you right? So, I mean, they will believe you." Ri hesitantly answers with a lot of pauses in his words. He sighs as he looked away and "Talking about them- Let's… Go to the police station. It's better than running away. You need to explain it to them." The smaller gator helps Yuu pick up his grounds and helped him walk to the Police Station. The streets are silent.

The local detective, Dan, sits on the other side of the table. Yuu is also on the other, sipping away coffee. "So, he's dead." Dan spoke first, watching Yuu's every move. It was raining so Yuu was quite drenched, but his clothes shows some odd red and faded marks. "If we go back to your house now, tell me what will we be expecting." Dan's voice seems threatening but Yuu knows it's out of shock and fatigue. He looked straight into the detective's eye and closed his own, sending a wave of memory images. "Ah." Dan held his head in one of his clawed hand, head aching in slight pain. "That was graphic." Dan whispers to himself. "We need you to speak for the record though, tell me what happened, with actual words this time." He added, leaning into his chair and mentally remembering the wave of memory Yuu had 'sent'. "Yuu, I know this might be hard for you but-" He was cut off before a deep, young and suave voice spoke up. "Not at all, Detective." The voice belonging to Yuu was the same as how he talks to others using his ability but hearing it with being spoke in the 'real world' doesn't feel the same. "His head- it'll be smashed in, a steel bat will be found at the crime scene with evidence showing that I commited the murder. Under self defense. He was about to.." He paused and sat still in his seat. "Not that mind you." He adds, looking to the right. "He threatened to break my leg." His voice almost broke into a cry but it's evident he's holding it back. "He seemed so nice to the public." Dan spoke in and walked over to Yuu's side, comforting him. "Don't worry kiddo, you're still young. I'll make sure you won't go into juvenile." He walks out of the interrogation room, knowing Yuu needed some time.

"You killed your own father." Yuu's mother mutters under he breath, her voice audible and cracked. "Jiro is a good guy, you just made that up to get away, don't you?.." her mother added, sitting comfortably on her recliner. "Mom-" Yuu tried to speak, but his mother cuts him. "You're not my son." she got up and walked out of the room. It has been a few days since the incident. Yuu wasn't charged and was only assigned to a therapist. The city knows of the murder and no one believed him- expect the law enforcers, he had good relationship with them. "I don't care what you think." Yuu finishes, his voice silent and the emotion behind it vague, as if there isn't an emotion associated with what he had just said. How could that be? Especially with everything that happened? Who knows. Or do you?


The next day

Yuu walk down the school corridor as usual, this time however, instead of everyone around him ignoring his presence, all eyes are stuck on him. Whispers exchanged and some even talk loudly, perhaps just to spite him- they should't be doing that, especially not to get the bad side of a 'murderer' as everyone had labeled Yuu now. La Kourte is a Washington DC-esque town and words get around quickly, especially when almost everyone in the city has a social media. Even if you aren't technology-advanced, the newspaper also reported about it and words go around. Whispered things are the usual, simple gossips like 'Isn't he the one that killed his father?' 'Yeah, that's him alright.' 'Isn't his father that one important guy? He's also nice, I heard.' 'I wonder why would he do that.' 'Should't he be arrested?' 'Isn't he a criminal?' and so on. Yuu only ignored them, since beating them up or speaking up probably isn't the best idea. He may be in good terms with the law enforcers but the school staff hates his guts and him in general.


A month later

"Sorry about this, Yuu. I… my family needed to move out, I had no choice." Ri rubbed the back of his neck and avoided eye contact. "Okay." Once more, the echoes of Yuu's power talks for him. "With everything going on… I'm sorry to leave you like this. The uproar died down but everyone still…" Ri sighs and rubbed his shoulders up and down. "You will have a better life out of here, they won't bully you for being my friend anymore. Don't be sad because of that, it has no disadvantage." Yuu pauses, then remembered of Ri's affection towards him. "Logically, atleast." He added, eyes, expression and tone dead. He's talking telepathically but if he was in an emotional distress, one would hear it and his expression would still change. That would never happen though, not for Yuu. "Y-yeah. Anyway." Ri stutters, rubbing his arm and looking back into his house. "We'll be moving out tonight but you can't watch us, right? You're busy with your… group thing." Yuri tried to make a conversation that would end the awkward tension. "Yeah. Group thing." Yuu simply answered. "We can call and text though so this is not the exact last conversation we'll be having, right?" Ri says and took out his smartphone, showing it to Yuu. "Well, I guess I gotta go and pack now, you need to go, too, I'm sure you're busy." Ri says and half-turnwd around. Yuu only nods and does the same thing. Though, Ri paused and turned back to Yuu. He also stopped at seeing his friend's action. Though, in that few seconds of pausing, Ri kissed Yuu, even if only for mere seconds. Both of them looked at each other in the eyes for a good while before Ri blushes and rushed into his home, luckily they were standing right outside his house's door. Yuu pauses and slipped his hands into the pockets of his hoodie. His face shows no apparent emotions but his heartbeat was fast. In that moment, he knew he would never forget that day. Another memory to be forgotten, but with the emotion associated with it, it will stay in his memory. Yuu will remember it.

Extra notes about power:
× Unless the other GG has a strong mental resistance, Yuu can get in anyone's mind, manipulate their vision, see their memories and so on. Over the years, after that dreadful day, he trained his powers a lot. Though, he doesn't do this very often because he would get head-splitting headaches if done improperly.
× ??? is a very chaotic power that controls Yuu's own emotions and is only triggered by extreme emotions. [ Imagine Mob Psycho 100 ]
× For ???, see his powers of mental hallucination. He can make them 'corporeal' but will faint afterwards.

Notes about Yuu
× Undiagnosed achromatopsia
× Textbook sociopath [ Basically your good ol' casual sociopath. ]
× Doesn't have a [that last for more than two days] psychiatrist, therapist, doctor, etc, doesn't trust them and don't want to be put into a disadvantage. Socipaths doesn't like others understanding them.

Do you know that 4 sounds the same as 'death' in Japanese?
