They began taking an interest in the affairs of humans -- not so long ago, only a matter of centuries -- and found new games to play. They learned how to share a body with a living soul, and experienced things that they had never experienced before, met people different from themselves. And almost immediately they began to change.
They experienced different things. He often chose to share with the rich and elite, or the orphaned and alone: he learned how to be bitter, to never trust, to put only his own concerns foremost. She usually chose to share with the poor but content, or the kind and loving: they taught her how to be generous, to make everyone she could her friend, and to smile and have fun no matter what was in her way. He, who had always been so dedicated, became intense and obsessive -- she, who had been light-hearted from the beginning, learned to hide her deeper nature behind a lovably childish facade of shallowness. He drove people away, and she drew them close...
They unwittingly brought death and suffering to all those around them. Again and again, they chose new hosts, and again and again, they found themselves lost. He dealt with the pain by regressing further into his shell, and she took the pain and shut it away, ignoring it. They wouldn't listen to the others when they warned them that no good would come of it, each too stubborn for their own reasons.
They accumulated souls who stayed near them, trapped in the vicious cycle. A boy sealed away in reason and logic; a girl too delicate for her own good, and a boy too sensitive for his; a girl who was as a sister to all, a boy who was as a brother to all, and a boy who wished to be brother to none.
They couldn't stand the pain, and they had lost so much... But they found that they no longer fit together. They argued with real anger now, had strong opinions and devout beliefs that conflicted with each other, and found that each had absorbed qualities that the other disliked. No more did they play, but hid from each other, seeking to avoid more pain than they had already been through...

Suu... I'm so sorry I failed him. I just wanna be an angel... I just wanna make them happy-wappy. Especially...
...Sasha-chan told mes the story tonight. And then she told me... she said...
"I'll tell 'im the angel girl... the 'suu girl' is waiting, okay? Now be good, Misha baby, you're gonna get something good outta all this eventually. Just persevere now, got it?"
I don't understand... nyaaaaaaaaaa...
The soul is a strong thing, suu. In the end... they wound up the samey-same as they'd been.
