I looked at Shawn peering into the large mirror that blocked between the room where we were watching and the room where Damon was inside with a Psychiatrist. From where we were standing we could hear the two talking.
Damon was wearing a white gown, while two men were behind him.
“How old are you?” The female Psychiatrist asked him.
“12.” Damon replied coldly, I handed Shawn the mineral water I was holding, he immediately accepted it and then looked at Damon again.
“How many years have you been experiencing the things you told me?” The woman asked Damon.
“Since I was 10 years old.” Damon replied coldly, no emotion on his face. I crossed my arm and leaned back in the chair.
Yesterday Damon and Shawn and I went to the house of the Psychiatrist in front of Damon today, Damon was determined to lose Achaz so even at dawn we did not leave the doctor.
“Do you remember anything when Achaz came out?” The doctor asked Damon.
“Sometimes there isn’t, sometimes there is.” Damon replied.
After what happened, during our first encounter with Achaz, we rushed Damon to the hospital because he was stabbed in the tummy, he was immediately cured and a few days later the doctor sent him home.
“How often did Achaz come out?”
“I do not know.”
Since then we have not encountered Achaz. Also because Achaz almost stabbed Shawn, Damon said that Shawn should stay away from him first to make sure that Achaz’s attempt on Shawn’s life will not be repeated.
“Is there a chance that your head suddenly hurts when Achaz comes out?” The doctor asked. Damon nodded.
“Every time I fall asleep, I think that’s just where Achaz comes out, I don’t feel anything when he comes out.” Damon replied.
Shawn and I were silently watching from here in the big mirror, a few hours later we saw the doctor stand up while Damon was still sitting, we saw the Doctor tap Damon on the shoulder before coming out of that , oom and facing us.
“What, how is he?” I asked immediately. The doctor took a deep breath and then signaled for us to follow him. We immediately followed him until we could enter a room, which I think was his office.
“How is Damon? Can he go home now?” Shawn asked, the doctor looked at us then shook his head.
“In Damon’s case, I won’t let him go home with you first.” The doctor said so we kept quiet. “It’s dangerous because he doesn’t have a parent and neither do you.” It adds.
“What’s going on with him? Doc, I can’t understand, only Rodolfo can understand the three of us what’s happening to him.” Shawn said and looked at me. I saw the doctor sigh.
“It’s not yet appropriate to tell you such a thing, but since you’re friends with Damon and you care for him, I’ll say that’s what I think is happening to him.” Said the doctor.
Shawn and I fell silent and then looked at the doctor with full attention.
“You know that Damon has Multiple Personality Disorder, don’t you?” The doctor asked. We nodded in response.
“Are you aware of what Multiple personality disorder is?” It asked so I nodded.
The doctor looked at Shawn.
“Multiple personality disorder is a disorder in which two personalities coexist in the same body, such as Damon and Achaz.” The doctor explained to Shawn. It took a deep breath then looked at us. “In his illness, we psychiatrists have something called ‘Host’ the host actually owns the body of the person with MPD. In the case of your friend, Damon …. he is not the host . ” We stopped at what the doctor said. Shawn and I looked at each other.
“H-huh?”
“Damon doesn’t own that body, he’s just one of the personalities in there. And they’re the ones we call our ‘Alter'” He said so Shawn and I were even more confused.
“Then Achaz is the host?” Shawn asked, the doctor shaking his head.
“No, he’s just an alter too.” The doctor replied to Shawn, I leaned on my seat.
“In that case, who is the host?” I asked, the doctor shrugged.
“That’s what I’ll find out, so while I’m studying your friend, he’s here temporarily. You can visit him and greet him while I’m studying him.” The doctor said, Shawn and I just calmed down, I looked out the window of the doctor’s office in front of us and then thought deeply.
If Damon is also just one of the alter that the doctor we are talking to says, why does he want to lose Achaz? Who is the host in that body? What and who else is the other alter in that body?
“Based on what your friend said, Achaz is most likely the Alter he encounters, usually someone with MPD, the alter reaches 100 the alter. It’s possible that there’s another Alter in that body. “The doctor explained.” Damon, the usual alter who shows up. “He added.
“Will those alters disappear?” Shawn asked the doctor. The doctor looked at him seriously.
“Yes, but no.” Answer it then take a deep breath. “You guys are still too young to understand things like this. For now, I’m going to need your friend Damon to study who his host is. Damon also mentioned to me that he wants to lose Achaz, thing that I want to know. ” It said so I was suddenly nervous.
What if this doctor found out that Achaz had killed his parents? That someone died because of that Alter? The doctor in front of us will probably report to the police and release Achaz.
I was also worried for the doctor because by the time Achaz came out and this doctor had triggered that alter there would probably be bloodshed again.
“H-how do you know if the Host is in front of you and not Alter?” Shawn asked. The doctor smiled at us.
“It’s easy, Damon has already given me a detail so I can find out who the host is.” He said he then removed the glasses from his eyes.
“It’s almost the end of visiting hours, just come back here tomorrow to talk to Damon.” He said and stood up, Shawn and I also stood up and nodded to the doctor.
“Thank you very much, we hope you can treat Damon.” I said, the doctor smiled at me.
“As much as I can, you can hope.” It says reason for me to smile and feel comfortable.
Damon, we haven’t known each other for very long, I don’t know you very well yet but you can hope that we will help you, we will help you get rid of Achaz.
