[How can he explain Atsushi's fears and insecurities? Spending too much time in his own head, doubting his own thoughts, his perceptions? How a man who yearned just to know for certain that something was real came to associate the bizarre with the unreal?
He hid his other half because he didn't want to be treated differently - sick, like he was in life, but also strange.]
He wouldn't call it a bad thing for anyone else, but he doesn't like being called that himself. Even if it's objectively true.
[He doesn't really have to explain it. The fact that he seems to have manifested an alternate personality to do and say the things he himself isn't comfortable doing or saying says a lot more about his mental state than any explanation possibly could.]
Then I'm sorry for calling you weird, Atsushi-san.
We don't know each other very well, and it's hard to tell how you're feeling when talking through text.
[He makes sure to address this part to Atsushi-san -- it's text, so he'll see it later regardless.]
[Atsushi actually laughs when he realizes that Ranpo isn't going to continue that message. And when he gives control back to his other half, Atsushi surpresses a chuckle when he gets to that part, too.]
Thank you. I'm sorry for overreacting.
I'll try to be more straightforward about these things in the future. But I do like talking to you, in general.
