DEVELOPMENTS!! I'll clarify once I get the time to sit down and translate, but here's a run down of the third volume for now (in a vague order):
- White broke down in the worst way before he came to Japan.
- I'm talking suicidal here. He cut himself. (Called it.)
- Kousaka rapes him and almost breaks his finger.
- Apparently, Riya's father didn't just beat him but stabbed his hand one time. (This might be where Black came about.)
- White goes catatonic when he remembers this.
- Black breaks down too when he realizes what happened to White.
- Atsushi is adorable asking people to let him in the building so he can rescue Riya from Kousaka.
- Black acknowledges White as his other side, rather than an enemy, first. (Again, called it.)
- Muscle memory comes into play and distorts the sides.
- Black can't stand to be alone. That's why he never stays at home when they switch.
- White and Black both decided not to go to therapy for their own reasons originally.
- After everything, White seems to have disappeared for awhile. Black notices his absence and feels lonely. :(
- Black manages to confess to Atsushi!
- White and Black meet. White tries to pass off his violin and disappear, but Black tells him can't go because he'd be lonely and so on. White ends up taking control and comments to Atsushi that he remembers everything.
- There is an odd exchange with Kousaka after all of this with him confessing to White and questioning where he'll go. (Need to sit down and translate this properly.)
- White also speaks with Atsushi about Black being inside him, but also that he's sick. (Translate this too.)
- Black and White merge. Awww. He really is a hobo in appearance, but he plays the violin. But he sounds mostly like Black. Hmm.
- . . . baaaaaaaaaaw
ON THAT NOTE:
I'm going to have to ask that everyone talk to me about beating on Riya anymore. White is not coping well with it, and Black is not the kind to shut his mouth. Interventions and break-ups can be staged. :|b
White is not coping well, period. There isn't much that can be done on the sex end, but both sides do better if they approve of the partner.
Black is looking after White to a degree, because he doesn't want his other side to end up offing him. However, they are not working together by any stretch of the imagination.
. . . I love my kitty guys. :(
