Outsider: He & 相手 become ITs playthings & toys
Theatre Play: "An illusion realer than reality itself"
Soap Drama: Plays with both He & 相手's emotions
He: The character 自分 made to confront 相手
He: A swordsman of bleached sword & shield
IT'S no character/person, IT'S a story, the ink in the blank canvas replacing reality w/ narrative overwriting any plausibility
The story IT tells is thus:
At the end,
相手 stands by heavy rain
They stood over
a bleeding one, He
[BLANK]
He dies
Or so
相手 thought
He enters The Void Between,
& meets his creator, IT
"[INCOMPREHENSIBLE]"
He "trains" for "100 eons"
& the epilogue:
Now He stood above 相手
