"Is this... the other side... of my story?"
[No Marcus...]
Another familiar voice echoed behind him.
[This is your hidden memory... this is what in reality, happened]
.....
"Eh? Who are you?"
Marcus inquired, swirling his body around and stabilizing his gaze at a strong man... a man around his size.
The robust man before him wore clothes that were synonymous with his. He also had a mask donned which appeared to drape a pretty familiar face.
"Huh?"
Marcus was soon taken aback when he recognized the details flowing on the red mask. It was none other than his mask... his Oni mask.
As if answering back to his concern, the man before Marcus shifted his hand towards his mask, without moving from his place.
Marcus watched him -- he watched him remove his mask slowly -- he watched his handsome face smile back at him -- a smile which was weirdly a charitable smile.
"Hello, Marcus..."
The man before him bowed.
