WHERE THE FUCK IS MARIO
Treo didn't remember much after the falling from the building. He remembered people rushing all around to get him into an ambulance. People asking themselves why he did it, was school getting to him? It all seemed a bit strange. The teen ignored it all. Why did they rush to his help in the first place? Probably to save face. To show others they were helpful. To be made into a footstool that people use to ascend their social status. Degrading.

He had received numerous amounts of cracks and breaks from the fall, which meant most of his body was in a cast. They said he may never walk again. In a normal world maybe, but this was a completely different situation to the Persona Users. Hands had been regrown, rumor had it legs had been too. To fix his broken bones wouldn't be that hard. It would just take time. For the moment he laid in a hospital bed, bandages around his head and a cast on each of his limbs. The act of keeping these limbs aloft meant he was hanging from the wires like a puppet.

He laid back and waited. Someone would come, if they didn't, then Sora was wrong. There was nobody. The links that they shared would never be true. Just a sad boy who yearns for friends but keeps holding back. He told Sora when he fell, there was only one way to break a mirror. By hurling it from such a height that it shatters into pieces.

That was what he was now. Pieces. Sora had said that a cracked mirror could be broken. A cough came from the boy. "Guess you were right."

When someone was in the hospital, it was nice to get them some kind of gift. Miyuki had spent a few minutes struggling over what to get him. Flowers would be nice, but kind of awkward considering that she already had a boyfriend and she wasn't entirely sure what he'd make of that after the pornography incident. She'd run through a couple alternatives before thinking that he was probably too stupid to deserve much other than that apple conveniently sitting in that basket on the counter in her apartment, so she shoved the fruit into her pocket and went off to the hospital.

Not bothering to knock, Miyuki opened the door and shut it behind her, going over and pulling up a chair next to Treo's bed. Pausing for a moment, she pulled out the apple and placed it on the counter before crossing her arms, giving a Treo a remarkably unamused look. She knew a few things about Treo. One was that he had healing spells and had no reason to be in here other than potentially being tired. Another was that, as a wild card, he probably had access to several different methods of stopping himself from falling off a building.

The last was that he had a tendency to do really silly things. "Why are you here?" It was a multi faceted question, one with several different answers; knowing Treo, he'd go with the most confusing and unhelpful one.

"...I'd ask, but Fusoku-san's already done it for me," a sigh could be heard from the doorway as Kumori stepped in, a tray of tea balanced on one hand and a few get-well-cards in the other. The boy excused himself before walking in, taking note of Treo's current condition. He dropped both of his items off on a side table and frowned at his injured friend.

"I suppose that you can't quite drink in this condition. I thought this might happen." He sighed as he picked up a long straw from the side of the tray. The boy paused momentarily before he set it down. "...But first, talk. The tea needs some time to cool anyways."

Miyuki and Kumori. His friends. The ones he had been told to talk to by Sora. He wasn't a cracked mirror though. He was a broken mirror. There's less use in one of those. He was silent until the question was asked. "I had to stop myself copying. I... I threw myself off the school to stop the copying before I had finished copying him perfectly."

He tried to look away but he was stuck in place. "I don't want to be in his mind."

The second prong of this question was why was he still here. "I... I haven't been able to call my persona for a while now. They won't answer, or appear now."

Yep, Treo had definitely gone with the most confusing and nonsensical answer, because Miyuki had no idea what the hell he was saying. She rested one elbow on the chair, resting her head on her palm, just staring at Treo. "... Can you speak Japanese? Because you could be speaking Spanish right now, for all I know, because I have no idea what you're saying."

The comment about not being able to call his persona, however, made a lot more sense. Miyuki frowned, scratching her head. "Uh... that's weird." She shot a glance at Kumori, hoping he knew more about this kinda thing than she did. He seemed smart, right? Miyuki turned back to Treo. "But still, you're... you, right? Why not just... be yourself? I..."

She threw up her arms. "I dunno."

"Still going on with the mirror talk?" Kumori said with a little sigh, shaking his head at Treo as he cast a healing spell on his injured friend. He sat next to Treo and gave him a quizzical look. "Who's 'he?' You might have a habit of changing who you are, but I've never heard of you throwing yourself off a building before. Was it another wild card?"

Treo nodded to Kumori. "It was Sora-san." He felt the spell wash over him but still didn't move. "Sora-san and I are both wildcards. I thought we were the same. I've thought that ever since I met him. I was wrong. Neither I nor him share a single trait. I copy, Sora hides his self and his self wasn't something I wanted to copy." He shuddered slightly. "I don't want to be in his mind."

He turned to face Kumori, his green eyes somehow turning grey. "I'm not sure where my self went. But I don't know. I think without knowing about my self... I can't use my persona."

He turned to Miyuki. "I'm... sorry."

Miyuki was just like 'what the fuck is this' because she didn't completely understand Treo's character arc. She sat there, biting her lip as Treo and Kumori talked before she got apologized to for some reason. Her eyes widened and she shook her head. "U-uh, no, it's fine, you didn't do anything." Pausing, she continued, "... other than throw yourself off a building, which I'm kind of mad about."

She adjusted her sitting position in the chair a bit, thinking. "Uh... I don't understand the whole copying thing you're talking about, but if you try and kill yourself again, I'm gonna be pretty pissed."

"Ashdown-san's having a bit of an identity crisis right now," Kumori explained. It was probably the most concise that he could be about the matter. The longer version of the story wasn't something that Kumori was too enthusiastic to delve into. It was definitely Treo's responsibility to do that. He nodded in agreement with what Miyuki said last as he continued his healing.

"As will I. For now, please stay out of the ruins, alright? I can bring Kogane-san her food for the time being. I'd be a poor friend if I let you fall off another building. I know that you will find yourself, though. We all do eventually." His brow furrowed a bit as he tried to examine Treo's injuries through the link of his spell. "...I can heal the bone, but you need to strengthen up the muscle around it for support. It'll be awkward when you get to walk on your legs first, but just keep practicing. Muscle memory should fix things back up."

His expression hardened a bit. "I didn't quite expect that you would end up doing this to yourself. If you absolutely must copy something from other people, please try to copy some self-preservation. Everyone goes through hard times, but doing that to yourself is never okay."

Treo faked a smile. "I guess that means you care about me, if you would be angry if I died. I wasn't... trying to kill myself. I was trying to stop myself from copying Sora-san. I can't turn off my copying. I knew I would survive." He seemed to pause for a second. "Probably."

He smiled at Kumori. "Tell Kogane-san I went and did something stupid. She'll probably understand. Its weird but she seems to understand." He couldn't move, but he was smiling at least. "Alright, thanks Kumori-san. You're always there for me."

He nodded. "I.. was trying to stop copying. its complex. To put it simply Miyuki-san, I wear a lot of masks. I wore so many I don't know which one is mine anymore." He sighed to himself. "I just wish I could find this answer."
