Pov: Author

In this chapter there will be Max's memories. They will be described "in this font". I hope you don't get confused.

Pov: Sansa

- Mmm... This ketchup never ceases to be delicious!

I turned my head and noticed that Max had eaten the pill the doctor had given him again.

Sansa: Listen, why are you using these pills?

Max: They contain the protein I need.

Sansa: A squirrel? But most of the proteins are found in meat.

Max: That's right. But I don't eat meat.

These words surprised me.

Sansa: Why?

Max: Because it always makes me sick.

Sansa: How long has this been happening to you?

Max: Always.

- Oh... It's probably not easy to do without meat products.

Sansa: Does other food make you sick?

Max: No. Only meat. Other types of food do not make me sick.

Sansa: And why meat?

Max: I don't know. I have no dislike for this food. However, my body says the opposite.

- Maybe he has some kind of illness?

Sansa: Doesn't that bother you?

Max: It doesn't bother me at all now, I'm already used to it.

Sansa: Have you tried to cure it?

Max: I tried. Many people tried to fix it, but it didn't lead to anything.

I thought for a while.

Sansa: So these pills are the main source of your nutrition?

Max: Not really. They relieve me of hunger for a while.

- And how does he live with it? It's impossible!

Sansa: Maybe it has to do with your soul?

Max: Maybe... Because I'm a hybrid.

His words surprised me even more.

Sansa: ... In what sense?

Max: I'm half human and half monster.

- Hybrid!? This can't be happening!

Max: Although for the most part I look lik-

Sansa: Wait! Wait! So your soul belongs to the human part, and magic belongs to the monster part?

Max: Well... It turns out like this.

- That's why this telekinesis seemed familiar to me. He has magic, but not as strong as mine. So it's all because of his unbalanced state?

Sansa: Of course it's hard for me to believe it, but... Are you really telling the truth?

Max: Yes.

Sansa: And it doesn't bother you?

Max: No, it doesn't bother.

Sansa: How can you stay so calm?

Max: And how should I react?

Sansa: I don't know. Doesn't that make you afraid or sad?

Max: I have no emotions.

Sansa: ... Are you kidding now?
