SCENE 1 — AISENO POV"THE MOMENT HE WAITED YEARS FOR"
The rooftop shakes with the echo of Null's scream.Dust floats upward, not downward — sucked toward the spiraling psychic pressure around Null.
Aizeno watches from the ledge, coat billowing like black wings.
He doesn't flinch.He doesn't step back.He simply observes.
His eyes, usually dull and lazy, sharpen like blades.
AIZENO (thoughts):There it is. His mind finally reached critical mass.Two cores… colliding.Most people would die. He adapts.
The thin glasses on his face glow faintly — tiny runic symbols reflecting across the lenses.
Aizeno touches the frame.
AIZENO (thoughts):I implanted the catalyst in him exactly 487 days ago.The Nano-Psy sigil in his amygdala was dormant… until today.
He thinks all his improvements were natural. Cute.
He sits down on the railing like he's watching a movie.
Below him, Null claws at the floor, veins glowing silver-white.
AIZENO (thoughts):This is not evolution… it's ignition.
His smile grows.
Not evil.Not kind.Just… hungry.
SCENE 2 — NULL'S INTERNAL WORLD"THE SPLITTING OF THE SELF"
Null's vision rips apart.
The city is gone.The rooftop is gone.
He stands inside a colossal empty space — silent, endless, pure white.
His breathing echoes like thunder.Every inhale feels like it fills the entire void.
Then he sees him.
A second version of himself.
Standing in front of him.Calm.Expression blank.Eyes glowing metallic silver.
NULL:"…what are you?"
The second self tilts his head.
SECOND NULL:I am the part of you that never sleeps.The processor that handles what your emotional mind cannot.You are the fists.I am the calculation.
A rip opens behind them — splitting the void into two hemispheres.
LEFT SIDE:
A quiet, cold landscape of floating numbers, projections, future paths.Every movement Null ever made appears as blue trails.
RIGHT SIDE:
Red, chaotic terrain.Pulsing with instinct, aggression, combat intuition.Every enemy he ever fought appears as ghost silhouettes.
The two halves beat like a heart.
SECOND NULL:Your brain was born different. Not broken. Not damaged.But dual-core.One half optimized for chaos.The other for strategy.You fought with only 30% of your potential because the halves were disconnected.
Null tries to breathe but the void squeezes around him.
SECOND NULL:I am the bridge.
The silver-eyed self walks forward and places a hand on Null's chest.
The world explodes in white.
SCENE 3 — THE AWAKENING"REALITY RETURNS… DIFFERENT"
Null opens his eyes.
The rooftop is back.
But everything is… slow.
Wind moves like underwater currents.Debris floats instead of falling.Aizeno's heartbeat echoes like a drum.
Null's pupils split — each eye showing two rings, one dark, one silver.
A HUD-like overlay forms around every object he looks at:
Weak points glow neon red.
Trajectories draw lines through space.
Enemy intent pulses as ripples in the air.
Timing windows appear like digital clocks.
He instinctively flexes his fingers — even the sound of his knuckles cracks in slow motion.
NULL (quiet, numb):"…what did you do to me?"
SCENE 4 — BACK TO AISENO POV"THE SCIENTIST WATCHING HIS EXPERIMENT WAKE UP"
Aizeno stands.
The glow in his glasses shuts off.He pockets something small — a micro remote, the size of a coin.
He walks slowly toward Null, boots crunching over broken concrete.
AIZENO (thoughts):He stabilized faster than I calculated… 3.1 seconds faster.Excellent.
Null's eyes track Aizeno with perfect precision — even predicting his steps half a second ahead.
Aizeno loves it.
AIZENO:"Well… congratulations, Null."
Null clenches his jaw.
AIZENO:"You've unlocked the system your brain was born with—the Double-Mind Model."
He steps closer, no fear at all.
AIZENO:"One mind for instinct.One for logic.And together… something no human was ever designed to handle."
Null's aura crackles, distorting the air.
NULL:"You used me."
Aizeno smiles softly.
AIZENO:"I guided you."
He leans in.
AIZENO:"And now I want to see what you'll do with it.Become my masterpiece…or try to kill me."
He spreads his arms.
AIZENO:"Either outcome is thrilling."
