Operation Stalker, Part I [with Hyde]

"Evil clones". Suddenly he felt like in an episode of an anime, or X-Files. He couldn't imagine how his own "evil clone" would be like; chances are, if he had one, they'd either get along pretty well or the other Shun would be the completely opposite: adorable like a sheep, while the original self is the real bastard. But well, according to Hyde's description, it isn't Sharaku's case, and that's a relief. Maybe his odd eye color was just contact lenses being used, since he doesn't fill the other requirements (in fact, he was far from being an "asshole"). As much as the whole story sounded too fanciful, specially coming from Hyde, at this point Shunnosuke wouldn't dare doubting any part of it.

— ...what if you can't run away? — He said, making his way to the librarian, holding three books in his arms: one Hyde lent him and the other two he picked in the shelves, one about Azores's history since remote times, and the last one emphazising general mythology and culture. Maybe those books can bring some light into the recent events and probably are related to local legends, who knows?

"Monsters with monsters". Well, that makes sense, although he didn't like to call that feminine deity who arose in the air after his call a "monster" properly. Despite Hyde talking like he knew more than he showed and acting like a white knight, Shunnosuke wasn't convinced. There's still more for him to know about everything he experienced and, as much as Hyde's words were appreciate, if once he said he wouldn't want to be involved, now his resolve would go the opposite way. Well, there's no use talking to the police about it, Shun discovered it the hard way, but at least he had resources at hand and maybe his privileged position could help in discovering something about that supernatural incident.

— So now are you my super hero or butler of any sorts? — He let a giggle slip out of his mouth with Hyde's last statement. Boy, doesn't he say ambiguous things sometimes? But perhaps that's just the way he is. Shun couldn't help but to smile; not that he felt like he was in danger or like he needed to be protected, but it's nice to have someone to watch over you, no matter if it's not reciprocal. That moment, his opinion about Hyde changed a bit. A little bit, it's worth noting, but enough to forget that idea he was only interested in his financial condition. After picking his books again once the librarian had her job done, Shunnosuke glanced at a wall clock, seeming surprised. — It's about time I should be at home. Well then, thank you for coming. See you tomorrow. — And holding his books with both arms against his chest, the teen left the library. He couldn't wait to start reading it and, perhaps, finding any clue about last weekend's phenomenon...
