A boy named Ryuta Odaka just graduated from elementary school. However...his graduation was terrible. No one came to his graduation to congratulate him. Since his father died due to an accident (car crash) and his mother just find a new family or should I say "a husband". That's how Odaka just left behind with his grandparents.
His grandparents are awesome thou. His grandfather was a god mafia. While his grandmother was a martial artist, especially in taekwondo. But Odaka had to get a hard time making good relationships with his grandparent since they were busy and kind of scary. They're kind of buff grandparents.
Back to the MC...while Odaka walking on the street near the riverbank. Holding his certificate of graduation. The weather just suddenly came dark and started to rain. While Odaka running...the clouds started to thud and lightning started flashing. A loud noise of thunder came. Followed by a strike of lightning that nearly going to hit Odaka.
But Odaka is thrown away by the lightning and loses consciousness. Odaka woke up and saw his grandfather rushing him to the emergency room. "Stay strong my grandson...and everything will be alright". Odaka's grandfather whispered. Odaka saw a light (the light in the ER) and the doctor and nurse that treating him. And the light became dark...And he saw two of the same faces.
The two faces turn out to be himself. But the other was a kind of happy version of himself. On the other hand, was smiling like a creep version of himself. Odaka ask them..."Who are you?". The two replied, "Maybe who are you?". Odaka was confused and scared. "Tell me where are we?" Odaka asked them.
"We are inside of your brain Odaka" The creepy version of Odaka replied. "What?!... I don't understand...Wh..what kind of place is this?" Odaka asked in confusion. "And tell me who are you guys?! Why do we look the same?!" Odaka asked again with confusion. "I just came up with this idea!". The creepy version of Odaka said. "Call me Super Ego and that one with happy but silent calls him Id". The creepy version of Odaka said. "Whyyy...do I need to call you that?" Odaka ask. "To avoid confusion nerd!" Super Ego yells at Odaka. "But I can tell who, 'cause we have different faces". Odaka said. "Just shut up...nerd and go back where you belong". Super Ego yelled. "What...(Slowly disappearing) I'm not done yet...I need to ask about Id. Odaka shouted.
"You finally wake up!" Odaka's Grandmother surprises her after Odaka wakes up. And hug him. "I thought I lost my only grandson". Worrying voice of Odaka's grandmother. "You have been lying in bed 2 weeks from now". Odaka's grandmother whispered. "What...I talked to them for like 3 minutes, which is only 2 weeks!". Odaka was shocked in realization. "Who were you talking to, my Ryuta Odaka?" Odaka's grandmother asked. "Don't say my complete name granny...Nothing, Maybe I'm just tired". Odaka replied. "What the heck...Maybe I will talk to them later!". Odaka taught. Odaka goes back to sleep, and wonders if he can talk to his new friends again
.
Ryota's past is just a long story but in the beginning, Ryota Odaka doesn't have friends that's why he's excited to talk to them in his mind.
In the middle of the month. Odaka was hospitalized because of an odd incident. Odaka realized that he is still alive and breathing of course, in 2 weeks! But he suddenly remembered, that in his mind he talked to someone or something. (Odaka always forgot what happen after that day) in short, he always forgot what happen that day.
So, he decided to sleep and didn't think about it. In his dreams...He saw darkness like he was in a nightmare. "Hey...Odaka!" Super Ego shouted. "What...where...who are you?" Odaka asked in a confused way. "What kind of question is that?" Super Ego replied. "And did you already forget that we talked the other day, Yeah...we just discussed about our names and where we are..." Super Ego said with a creepy smile.
"And what we discussed all about?...I'm so sorry...I forgot what that is all about". Odaka said with an apology. "Nahh...It's okay, I know your condition nerd". Super Ego replied humorously. "Ahhh...okay". Odaka replied with a confused face again.Super Ego talked to Odaka a lot about his condition and their names, the places, and everything.
"So, basically your me". Odaka asked Super Ego. "Yeah...I'm you and were friends since your dad died". Super Ego replied. "You talked to me a lot whenever you feel depressed dude". Super Ego added. "I'm so sorry...I have forgotten about that". Odaka said. "I know...It's okay and I want to take over for you!". Super Ego said sarcastically. "Huh...". Odaka wonders. "Nope...It's nothing. Super Ego says.
"Yoooohoooo...Id, are you there?" Super Ego yelled. "What do you want? Super Ego..." Id replied in a monotonous voice. "Odaka's here..." Super Ego yelled. I rushed and hug Odaka. "Yey...Odaka's here...I missed you so much. I'd be surprised. "Who are you again?" Odaka asked Id. "You forgot about me? We used to talk since were kids!" Id replied sadly.
"I'm Id, well...Super Ego just suddenly came up with that name. But we usually take turns when we talk. Id says. "Take turns?" Odaka asked. "Nah...You will remember it soon. On how we talked and how it started" Id replied. "What...Tell me, please. I need to know my past.Odaka suddenly fades and wakes up.
"Are you okay, my dear Ryuta Odaka?" Odaka's grandmother asked. "Granny, don't say my full name. Just call me Odaka, please. Odaka replied with a nice tone. "Okay...So, are you fine now?" Odaka's grandmother asked. "Yes...a little, caused my head hurts a bit when I wake up" Odaka replied.
"It's normal...since you have been lying for about 2 weeks" Odaka's grandmother replied. "Now...I remembered that had a weird incident" Odaka wondered. Odaka felt that his back also hurts. And tell his grandmother about it. But his grandmother cried after asking that question. "Why...granny, why are you crying?" Odaka asked. "Go watch it in the mirror" Odaka's grandma replied.
Odaka stand up and walked to the mirror. Dressing up his clothes, Odaka's face was shocked about what happened to his back.
Ryuta Odaka is a lonely boy that talked to himself because he doesn't have friends back then. That's how he met Id. Id switches talked with Odaka to communicate. In other terms, They take turns to talk each other.
Odaka walks towards the mirror and undresses his clothes to see what happens to his back. Odaka's face turns upside down when he saw his back had serious damage after that accident happened.
He had a large scar on his back that formed like a lightning and connected with many stitches. "You should take some rest, Miracle One," The doctor says. According to the doctor, Odaka had damage to his spinal cord and 3rd-degree burns. "Luckily...you manage to survive, that's why, I'm calling you, Miracle One," Doctor said with a smirk.
"Granny, tell me what happen to me in that accident," Odaka asked. "I was told by the police that a man called for help when he sees you lying down beside the riverbank". Odaka's grandmother replied. "He also says that there's...a...lightning struck you and thrown you away". Odaka's grandmother said.
"I remember now...I was walking that day and suddenly a flash of lightning struck me...what an odd incident...maybe I had a stroke of bad luck" Odaka taught. "Anyways...where did Grandpa go?" Odaka asked Granny. "After, He heard that your health is stable. He immediately goes back to his comrades. Maybe to attend the meeting" Odaka's grandmother replied.
"I know... Grandpa is busy protecting his turf. I guess it's okay that he didn't stay with me here at the hospital" says Odaka. "I'm really thankful when he accompanied me to the emergency room even though he's busy working" Odaka added. "I wonder if I become someone like Grandpa..." Odaka taught.
Odaka started to stretch his body. Head to toe, to regain strength after a huge loss after that incident.
1 week later...Odaka recovered from that odd accident. And got out of the hospital.
Walking through the home since their house is just a couple blocks away from the hospital. A group of gangsters had to meet Odaka. Odaka just looked down, not making eye contact suddenly one guy bumps into him. And "Hey...watch where you going, pal!" A Guy yelled. And the guy grabs his shirt and lifts him high above the ground.
"I'm so sorry...mister...I didn't see you" Odaka replied. "Calm Down man it's just a kid," The other guy says. But the guy accidentally rips Odaka's shirt apart and left Odaka half *****. They suddenly stop and felt pity for Odaka. "Kid...what did actually happen to you? Where did that scar from" The leader of the gang asked? "Sorry...mister...I just got out from the hospital" Odaka replied.
The leader of the gang punches the face of the guy who grabs and rips their shirt of Odaka. "I'm so sorry kid...Maybe I should teach a lesson to every member of my gang". Gangleader says. "But kid where did you get that scar," Gangleader asked Odaka. The Gangleader helps Odaka to stand up and takes him to a clothes shop.
"It's hard to say...where did I get this scar but I get this scar from the accident" Odaka replied. While walking to a store. "What kind of accident is that my boy," The gang leader asked. The leader picked up some clothes for Odaka. Odaka answered his question. "I get this from struck of lightning," Odaka said.
Everyone stops and starts laughing. "What lightning...Hahahaha" another guy said while laughing. "Shut...up..." Gangleader shouted. "I can say that it is true...since you have that big scar," Gangleader said with belief.
The gang leader gives the clothes to Odaka and says "I'm so sorry boy...but I amaze that you stayed strong to the end. Be strong my boy and keep moving forward". The gang leader walks away with his member and left the store.
Odaka smiled and continue walking through the home. "I think not all gangsters are bad. You cannot judge the book by its cover...I think" Odaka taught.
Odaka arrived home...And...looks who's angry...
