[This is on every NV screen and TV screen.]

[Everything is hazy when the camera first turns on the set that is in place for this television show, but as the view pulls back to show off more of it, everything comes into focus. It’s a big stage, and scattered throughout it are props that are straight out of a Victorian house. It’s a cozy little place, with high backed arm chairs, and several beautiful vases on glass and wooden tables, to give off a sense of being a place of high class and beauty. The camera slowly turns until it’s focusing on someone sitting in an armchair, a small table next to it that is filled with various colorful chemicals in different sized tubes and glasses. The man who is sitting in the arm chair is wearing a white lab coat, and otherwise his clothes are very Victorian era, with a high collar and suspenders ( ... )

[That looked like...Tenma. But what the hell was he doing on the television? He turned into a monster right on screen. Re-l stares at her television, uncertain, as it turns back to static.]

The boy that had appeared on the television minutes earlier-

That had caught Daedalus off guard mostly because their foreign film of the late evening had been interrupted. He didn't recognize Souji Seta from the newcomer network, turning groggily back into his pillow

But when he sees the face of a familiar colleague onscreen, he immediately blinks fully awake and sits up in bed.

Dr. Tenma, dressed in something he'd expect to see the likes of Dr. Seward wearing? And reciting another of his morbid children's stories again, the ones he was so seemingly fixated on?

...he hadn't heard anything about AGI filming any kind of mad scientist's midnight hour masterpiece theater. It was the sort of thing he'd expect Kenzo to at least mention in passing.

"What is this?"

Was it meant to be some kind of comedy? Was he at least paid well, for putting himself up to some silly sort of- (but why would an anesthesiologist due something like that ( ... )

[The fu- what kind of a show was this? And why did it have to end on the good part.]

[ Batman stares at his NV. And stares at it some more. He recognises that doctor - he has to, because he's been trying to avoid this man for a long time - and...

Hah.

Curiouser and curiouser. ]

... Kenzo.

[She knows, deep in her gut, that that isn't him. She knows, because she believes in his goodness. He's not a monster. But she wants to go run the Darkness... just to be sure. On goes the uniform, and out she goes.]

[Wasn't that the doctor who'd helped her months before? (Mr. Wolfwood's roommate--)]

[Just what the heck was going on? Was this... some kind of new TV show or drama? (It sure looked like a drama) She debates calling him after the sound of static takes over, but....)]

[Where does he want them to go, anyway?]

[There was always more to that story than Kenzo was willing to tell. Czeslaw had always suspected it, and now he sees it all laid so bare: guilt, anger, fear.

And he understands. He thinks he understands it better than most.

So it is not fear or sadness that moves him. As he finishes the the rest of the sad little picture shows, he concludes that it must be like the dreams. A distortion. A psychic transmission. Into TVs... well, that's interesting. But he's a perennial observer. And if Kenzo has turned into a werewolf-or-whatever, well, there's probably nothing he can do.

But he doesn't believe that is what is happening. He likes Kenzo. Kenzo is a nicer person than he's known in a long time.

He sends Kenzo a text message in the middle of the night, hoping it'll be there in the morning after Kenzo's done devouring virgins by moonlight or whatever.]

Two things ( ... )

It wasn't me.

[The first one is sent right after, a minute later. The second text is send much later in the morning.]

It was me. The entire time.

I've met a werewolf in person before. You're much smarter.

I don't mean the werewolf. I mean... the metaphorical monster.

Wouldn't you be an equal monster if you refused to treat people just because they might end up being killers?

There's no way to win. It's all hopeless.

I didn't think you became a doctor to win.

I didn't.

Then since you have the ability to save people, you have to save everyone. After all, making the call on who lives or dies would make you a killer yourself.
