Little Yichen said empathetically, "Being imprisoned in a cage is the most painful."

When Lisa heard this, she furrowed her brow but eventually kept silent.

There was no empathy between people.

One would not understand the pain if one was not the person suffering it.

They were not Youyou, so they would not understand how painful it was to have two personalities, having them oppose each other and living in conflict.

…

When the four of them got home, Youyou locked himself in his room. Little Yichen wanted to follow him in, but he realized that the door was locked.

"Youyou…" He lightly knocked on the door. Youyou replied in a cold tone, "I want to be alone."

As Little Yichen withdrew his hand, Lisa approached. "Let him alone," she whispered.

"But…"

"That's what he was like when he was on Ackland Island. Sometimes, he just likes to shut himself in his room, as though he's isolating himself from the world."

Little Yichen sighed.

…

It was pitch dark in the study. The curtains prevented light from entering.

Lying on the sofa, Youyou stared at the ceiling and slowly closed his eyes.

When he closed his eyes, the world became peaceful and quiet. He imagmed himself walking through a doorway. The door creaked and slammed shut behind him. The boy looked up and saw the faint outline of a cage in the empty and dark room.

There was a child in the cage. This child looked identical to him, but his face was overly haggard.

Youyou approached the cage door and looked down at him. Suddenly, he squatted down and sized him up expressionlessly.

Sensing the subtle movement, the child raised his eyes slightly. However, when he saw Youyou's face, his pupils constricted violently. He suddenly rushed to the cage door and grabbed Youyou's collar tightly.

"Let me out!"

Youyou frowned slightly. He knew that the child imprisoned before him was none other than his other self, the first personality, Youyou. Back then, Alice had tried to seal Youyou's memories using hypnosis, but she did not expect that it would accidentally awaken his second personality.

The two personalities collided intensely.

Youyou's second personality tried to kill his first personality, but the second personality miscalculated. He didn't know that the first personality could never be killed.

Even though the second personality was now in control of the body, he knew in his heart that sooner or later, this body would be taken over by the first personality.

As for him, he would be like an abandoned rag doll, sealed and left in a corner. Or perhaps, he would be killed by the first personality and disappear completely.

"She really wishes to see you." Youyou looked at the child in the cage and said, "Ultimately, I'm unable to replace you. Sooner or later, you will take back control of this body. What doesn't belong to me is ultimately not mine."

"You're the real Youyou, and I'm just a substitute." There was a pause, and then the boy said in a faint voice, "But before that, give me a little more time, eh?"

The boy in the cage looked wary. "What do you want?"

Youyou was unwilling to say anything. He only said, "Give me some time. I'll return this body to you.."
