    (It can be platonic or romantic, depending on you).

    At night, you were in your office, doing nothing really important, just watching your guppy swim in the aquarium. That was until Nakishi called you, inviting you to dinner at the hotel across from the park where you met.

    When you got there, Nakishi welcomed you. He was all dressed up and well-groomed, his suit clean and elegant, a band-aid on his forehead being the most striking thing, covering the hole from the trepanation that had occurred a little less than a month ago. Nakishi was in character, but you weren't. You didn't look like yourself, no no. Nakishi had some things prepared. He called you to one of the hotel rooms, with the proposal to "change you".

    In the room there was a skirt, heels, a wig, lipstick and the like. There you would become you. Nakishi spent the rest of the money he received for trepanation on you to buy all of this and pay for this dinner. 400,000 yen is gone pretty quickly. But, to play with your own homunculus, it was better to do it with your body instead of your mind.

    From there, he and you left. You wearing those clothes and he wearing that suit. Even if the others looked at you, thinking you were a guy, no one could deny that you were being "you". You arrived at the table, next to the restaurant window and sat down. The waiter poured wine for both of you, and when Nakishi proposed a toast, you quickly drank the entire glass before doing so.

    Nakishi looked out the window, down at the sidewalk of the park street where he spent his time with the beggars. Nakishi then spoke.

    --- That's where it all started. I couldn't go into that dark park, nor return to this hotel. You talked to me when I was in that car. And because you made a hole in my skull, things ended up like this.

    You looked out the window too, holding a lock of the wig you were wearing. Split ends.
