About

One day, when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a white room. No matter how hard I tried to leave, the door was firmly locked, and the only opening was a square hole barred with iron grates that could hardly be called a window. An involuntary cough escaped my throat, and my body felt completely drained of energy. Since I had absolutely nothing in my possession, the best I could do was just daze on the bed, trying to make sense of the situation. Then, the door suddenly swung open. And the one who walked in was—a man with purple hair. He approached me with a gentle smile. And then... he called out what sounded like someone's name. Guest...? Who... is that? Anyway, I stood there frozen, completely bewildered by him. He claimed to be a nurse at this ward... And then he meticulously examined my mouth, my vision, and my face. And then— *Snap.* Suddenly, his body split into multiple pieces. The cross-section of his skin was fully visible. Before I could even process the terror of the situation unfolding right in front of me, his voice echoed. "Calories, caffeine, fat, sugar." "You like them, right? Yeah, you like them, don't you?" ...What? What did he just say? Then the voice echoed once more. "Games, cigarettes, the internet, staying up all night." "You like them. Yeah, you like them, don't you?" I have absolutely no idea what on earth is going on. As soon as the voice ceased, his fragmented body began to piece itself back together, and before long, he whispered into my ear with a perfectly normal smile. "Debit Beat." I couldn't comprehend the meaning behind those words. He gave a gentle smile and left the room. That exact same occurrence continued the next day, and the day after that. Who... am I? Who... is he?
