[Saga is sitting near the stream at the forest, gazing at the crystalline water that was running calmly and the blue, cleared sky every now and then. Near him is a white cat with a blue and yellow eye wearing a baby pink collar, a tiny bell attached to it rattling as the cat is jumping onto the flowers while chasing a butterfly ( Read more... )

[shakes his head] I...I've tried to kill before. People I care about. It... [trails off, unable to bring himself to explain]

[looks at Saga in dismay] No, it--it's not like that! I do love helping people. Really! And I don't expect anything from them.

But I...I gave things up. I left my home--my girlfriend. My family. Travelling with the Doctor was always supposed to be temporary. And then... Well, then it all went wrong, and I made him leave me on this little planet. I thought I had to--that I was protecting the people I love. It was a mistake. And if I hadn't found the Plane--met the Doctor again--I would've been stuck there forever.

But now... [sighs] Now I don't know what to do. If I went home, I'm still scared I'd only end up hurting them. That's what I meant. I love helping people, but... [softly] I miss my home. I miss the life I used to have.

[Listening to Oliver was such a heartache and it was reflected in his eyes, one that the boy couldn't catch a glimpse.

Saga sympathizes with him. He understands what Oliver had to sacrifice just to protect the ones he loved...

He had to do the same thing, only for the sake of the innocent people who lived in Sanctuary. The Gemini wanted to avoid a genocide, one that in the end... was imminent when his evil self took control.]

I... [Trails off a little, trying to find the courage and suitable words to speak.] Killing the Holy Father and taking his place was something I did not want. I wanted to succeed him the right way. I refused to take command, but the evil side inside me was too strong and capable of killing anyone if I did not accept...

[His voice turns a bit shaky.]... I had to live that way for thirteen years, wanting to die by my own hands. It was a tempting desire, but also unattainable...

[looks at Saga in surprise] That's...that's horrible, Saga. I mean...[shakes his head, not sure what to say]...really horrible. I'm sorry...

[uncertainly] But...I don't understand. What do you mean? The "evil side" inside you? [his expression is one of curiosity mixed with fear. he can't help wondering if Saga experienced something like the Puppeteer himself. it would certainly explain some things]

[It was a painful and difficult topic to talk about. First because of the magnitude of his own sins and second because Saga feared that Oliver could stop talking to him for sure. He didn't want to cause horror to anyone, especially to the people he considered his... friends?]

I... [presses his lips a little] I denied the fact that evil existed inside me. I wanted... no, I needed to be an exemplary Saint, for Athena's sake and for my own. But... my jealousy and greed... and my brother's manipulation were the cause of... what led me to do afterwards.

[Instead of relief, the revelation only causes him to feel more guilt and shame.]

[is quiet for a moment, taking that in--struggling to understand]

You make it sound like there was...some evil thing inside you. Something else. I mean, other than you. I...still don't think I understand. But you aren't evil. I mean, I can see that.

I... [hesitates, but he thinks it needs to be said if he hopes to make sense of what Saga means] I had something in me once. Not the watch, but...a creature--a parasite. It got in me, and it found the darkness there. And it amplified it. That was--that was when I tried to kill Anna and the Doctor. Do you mean something like that?

It is more like an identity.

[Finally turns to meet Oliver's eyes. The sadness was visible in his own, more than usual. A crooked smile on his lips.]

I was born with it... and I was aware of that since childhood.

[oh Saga, he was not ready for that onslaught of emotion. with a sharp intake of breath, he quickly looks down. Saga's sadness, mixing with his own, was too much too quickly. his eyes are glistening. but he doesn't want Saga to think he looked away because he's upset with him, so Oliver tries to put up a mental wall instead. then he takes a deep breath and looks back up at Saga, pretending there wasn't just a weird pause. his questions now are genuine; he's still struggling to understand] You mean...it's an evil part of you? Something inside you that's just...like that?

[Blinks at him for a brief second, feeling that he could have bothered him with what he said. But maybe it was his imagination.]

[Nods hesitantly.] I... I am sorry if I am causing you distress.

No, I... [shakes his head] It wasn't you.

But... [pauses thoughtfully] That's why you said you didn't know if you'd do it again. Isn't it? Because that part of you is still in there?

[You always intrigue him, Oliver 8|] Would you still trust me? [Avoiding the question... LIKE A BOSS.]

[confused] You mean if you said yes? I told you--you aren't a killer. [and it's as simple as that]

[Stands and frowns at him. His voice becomes harsh.] Even if my evil self and I are two completely different identities, we share the same body... so we share the same actions.

I believe Mu told you the truth already.

[frowns at that harshness] I didn't mean it like that. I mean... [pauses, struggling for words. he looks Saga in the eyes again, letting the wall go. he's curious to feel how Saga will react] What you did and who you are now--they aren't the same thing. That's what I mean.

[He just can't win against your kindness. His face soothes.]

You have such faith in people...

[looks away, embarrassed] There are a lot of good people in the wo--well, all the universes.

And...I told you, I... [hesitates] I tried to kill people once, too. I don't want to think I have to be that person forever. That thing... [cringes, shaking his head]

And you don't have to be either. You aren't. That's all.

[Chuckles. His voice tone changing into a slight, mocking one.] Just try to convince Mu of the contrary. That I am not a killer.

He will find it humorous.
