I...I need help.

[ A man can be seen kneeling in the plaza, his clothes rumpled as though he had just been running. His expression is both pained and saddened, but he keeps his voice calm.

He needs to say this.]

Some of you may recognize me as Doctor Riffael Raffit. I am Riff Raffit, but...the man known as Riffael is the one who has been terrorizing people for a month.

I am sorry I could not do anything sooner...if I had-

[All the people who had been hurt by his hands..shared hands, but his nonetheless.]

I know what I am saying might not make sense in full but if it helps, if it is easier: I am the one you've been looking for.

[He pauses, eyes closing a moment.]

I have control right now, I won't be moving from this place. I beg of you, someone, come stop him.

Please.

If you did it then what's made you suddenly change your mind now?

It...is more complicated than that.

It was my body acting out the crime, but it was not me; I am only one of the two personalities residing in this body. Unfortunately, I don't have any real proof of that beyond my word and it would not surprise me if people are less than willing to believe that.

It is a difficult topic. Why wouldn't you stop the other personality from doing those things?

I have been trying. He is the main personality so my strength to overcome him has needed time to gather.

Unfortunately, it took too much time.

Can you talk to him, in your own head?

Although I imagine from the situation that he simply wouldn't listen, I'm wondering more to what extent you're connected.

...well...he has talked to me, so, in theory, the connection could be turned the other direction.

I fear that you have a point there, I do not believe he would be too inclined to hear what I had to say.

Is he talking to you now?

No, he hasn't said a word since I took control.

I imagine he doesn't wish to

Can you feel his emotions?

Not if he doesn't want me to.

So he has some sort of shield against his own mind.

...Interesting.

I figured it was because he was the stronger of us, that he could hide from me while I could not hide from him.

I suppose...Justice may have had a hand in his ability to do so as well.

I don't see how such an ability would be just.

Pardon? I'm afraid I do not understand your meaning.

You said justice helped him out. I don't see how.

My apologies, Madam, Justice was a member of Delilah, a group Riffael was apart of. Each member has a tarot assigned to them and the woman I am referring to was justice.

Oh. Sorry for my confusion.

But is Justice here?

It is no trouble.

I fear not.

...I do not know how much more or less likely one is to find themselves here should they be dead...but it does not give me hope knowing the lady Justice was murdered by Riffael before our arrival here.

I thought you said she helped him hide from you? Why would it be unfortunate if she's not around?

Because, as was the cause for her death, she was the only one who could stop Riffael.

As far as I am aware, no other means of being certain he does not hurt anyone again exist.

So she sealed him away?

...Psychically?

Yes.

I admit it sounds preposterous.

[Sarah finds a laugh in her that she brings out. It should sound genuine, at least.]

A little.

Look, do you mind if we continue this discussion more in person... Assuming you're safe to be around.

[...Of course she'd probably be able to sap his will from him if she wanted in order to protect herself, but better to avoid that course of actions unless absolutely necessary.]

[He hesitates a moment but then nods.

Could he really say how 'safe' he was? He felt like it was okay.]

Of course, miss, if you would like.

I would. Just tell me where to meet you.
