Hatori turned around and jumped. This man looked almost exactly like the one who had protected Netsubo! All except for the eyes,"What is it?! I have business to deal with!"
Netsubo risked looking up. Seeing Faust made her suddenly forget that Hatori was even there. She sat up,"Faust?"

"Really?" Faust asked, narrowing his eyes coldly. "You might have business... but I happen to be lacking in both time and patience." he held a scalpel to Hatori's throat. "Drop...the... gun."

Hatori paled and called off the robot. He dropped the remote. Netsubo stood up,"But...how?"
((yea,...how? XD ))

"Why are you so surprised?" Faust asked, looking puzzled. "I never died."
"Oh," Mephisto said. "Yeah... I guess that's true... there's something different about you, though."
"Yeah..." Faust said bitterly; there seemed to be a harshness to the shadows around his face and body that hadn't been there before. "I guess I'm sort of missing something."

Hatori suddenly grew angry,"YOU! You were the one..."He picked up the controller again and had the robot aim at Faust. The gun charged.

Faust dropped like a stone, still near enough Hatori to hurt him. He savagely dug the scalpel into the soft flesh behind the man's knee.

Hatori screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Netsubo had never seen Hatori in pain before. It was a bit unnerving.

Faust's eyes glinted coldly as he twisted the scalpel visciously, digging it as far into the back of Hatori's knee as possible.
"Faust, stop!" Mephistophiles said suddenly, rushing forward. "That's enough..."
Faust stared at Hatori in bewilderment. "Is it?" he faltered.

Hatori was in such pain that he was on the verge of blacking out. Netsubo studied Faust. Something was different..like he wasn't exactly the same person.

Mephistophiles gripped Faust by the shoulders, steering him towards a pile of rubble and sitting him down. Cupping the man's face in his hands, he looked like he was holding a blue-eyed mirror image of himself. "Who are you?" Mephistophiles asked.
"I'm Dr. Johannes Georg Faust VIII," Faust answered. "I have seven PhDs and have been married twice. My second and current wife is Netsubo, my son is Yuki. I'm a physician and surgeon, and was involved with the Yakuza for fifteen years."
Mephisto stared. "Well... yeah... I could have told you that...."

Hatori glared over at Netsubo. Everything bad in his life had always been because of her...All those rumors....
Netsubo watched the exchange between Maphisto and Faust. She took Yuki's hand to try to stay calm.

Mephistophiles slapped Faust, hard, across the face. "Did you feel that?" he asked.
"Yes..." Faust said, touching his elbows as if cold.
"What about that? What does that make you feel?" he asked, pointing at Hatori's painful-looking leg.
Faust stared, then shook his head slowly. "I don't," he said after a moment. "I don't feel. Not like that. I just did it because it seemed right."

Hatori finally pried the scalpel out of his leg. He lay there for some time, trying to block out the pain. He started to laugh,"Oh you WILL pay for that!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Mephisto said, ignoring Hatori. "Faust... scenario. I'm going to Africa." He paused to let that sink in. "There are kids with parasites, Faust. Little babies right now who have worms eating their brains. Now, which would be better? You could kill the babies with a hacksaw, or you could give them an inexpensive medication and watch them get better. Which do you choose?"
Faust shook his head. "I can't choose. They both make sense."

"Yuki....Do you understand any of this? Because I'm clueless..."Netsubo murmured.
