Levin POV

Another dream.

I fell asleep in the car with Yomo... but now I'm faced with the question from those two again scares me. They face me, in the middle of them is Arata, long dead dove that was killed months ago.

I can't seem to have a normal dream, always the same nightmare every time I close my eyes. My ghoul self stares at me with a lunatics smile and starts to walk towards me, and I flinch, making him chuckle.

"Oh, are you scared of me?" He said with that raggedy voice of his.

My human self walks past me and in front of me, frowning at my ghoul self. "Leave him alone, he's not ready to answer yet." He said, glancing back at me.

My ghoul self frowned past him and at me. "Why are you being a pussy? Come on, I know you want to~. Just let me out and I'll take care of all your enemies!" He said.

"What the hell do you mean, take over?!" I yell at him.

Ghoul smirks. "Tch, talking back now? You tell him, I'm not in the mood." He said pointing at My human self.

Human sighed, glancing at me and looking at the ceiling. Even my other personalities have the habit of staring upwards when thinking. But what's he thinking about? How to explain the question to me.

"Let just say... what do you want to be... a human or a ghoul?" He asked, crossing his arms.

I froze up. My voice seemed lost and the room that was pure white began to crumble again, I'm waking up. Which do I want to be? I've never thought about it. Ghoul or human? Which would I be better as?

I look at human, but he already disappeared into the black. I quickly turn to ghoul, he smiled, half of his body already gone. "who are you, Levin Seto?"

. . .

I open my eyes, my whole throat and forehead covered in sweat. Where am I? I slowly turn my head around, I feel me still laying on the leather seats of the car. I turn to my left, Yomo driving silently.

Why am I seeing those every night? Most of the time, they just ask me the same questions over and over again, but now I was finally able to ask a question, and then they counter with that.

My head pounded.

I clench my head and Yomo glances over. "Are you alright?" He asked.

I squint out the window, my vision almost blind for moments. Am I alright? I have no idea really. I stare at the stores passing us by, and I turn to Yomo, my stomach growling.

"Can we stop at a fast food place or something, I need to get something in my stomach." I asked, feeling a bit guilty asking a ghoul to lend me money to eat human food.

Yomo nods. "Sure, but you mind if you go in by yourself, it'll look suspicious if I go in and don't order anything." He said.

"Yeah, no problem... thanks." I murmur.

Yomo really was a reliable guy. I should do something to repay him later.

I sigh and get out of the car, slowly walking into the fast food restaurant and standing in the line. I look at my watch, it's still around eleven, so I only fell asleep for about an hour in the car. Why does it have to be such a long drive to the Nest and Re? My luck.
