1-7 A Bad Joke

You probably think making you run around long corridors, and then up and down extremely tall stairways, only to end up back in the original room is one of the worse jokes you've ever heard.

But I've got a much worse joke.

The fact that such lowly worms as you dare to irritate me to this extent...

...and force me to release my full power to destroy you.

Well, that to me is a much worse joke.

Sip, La Lujuriosa.

Sorry to keep you all waiting. Now, the curtain shall rise on the long-awaited Act Two.

Oh, that's not right. I'm sorry. I take that back. To be more precise...

...it's not how Act Two begins, it's how it ends.

What is it?!

Wh-What is this?!

As you might presume, your doppelgangers possess the same powers and abilities as you.

And so, you can fight to your heart's content against your alter egos and kill yourselves off.

Hahahahaha!!!

Dammit!

So before we can fight our enemy, we must fight ourselves first. It's kind of like a Zen riddle in a way.

He's right about one thing. This is a bad joke.

Ahhh! Waaahhhh!

I'm being chased by myself! Help me, please!!!

Ahhh!

Now, why'd you move? I was counting on you to break my fall.

Don't you want to help out a scared friend who's in trouble? All I really want is to be accepted!

Stop your nonsense!

This isn't some self-help group therapy session! It's a battle for our lives!

Aaaahhh!

Damn you two! You managed to dodge our Dondochakka Press attack!

Starting to get the picture now, cry baby?!

Why am I always being attacked by everyone?

I have no time for this. Someone's out there waiting for me!

Who knows what's happening to poor Nel? We have to look for her right away!

I know we have to look for Nel, but we can't do that until we get out of here first!

No please. Right away! We have to find her as soon as possible!

I've been sensing it for a while. She's frightened! Something terrible is out there threatening her and scaring her.

We have to get out of here now. Please!

We can't let Nel get any deeper into Las Noches!
