People oft wonder about me. The way I dress, the way I act, the way I speak. Gods, even I wonder about myself. I wasn't always like this. I was once a normal boy. I had the desires of the normal boy. I wanted the newest toy on the market. I wanted to be the first on my block. I played video games, I even had friends. And then, it happened. It was so sudden that it didn't start taking its effect upon me for some time. Nearly a month. There was nothing for me any longer. I had to keep ahold of my sanity for as long as I could. It was soon after my second year at Furinkan, that he arrived.
