WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM? THEY WERE KILLED, HAHAHA I KILLED THEM, A MERE GIRL KILLED THEM ALL HAHAHA, THEY SHOULD THINK BEFORE KIDNAPPING ME!" Esther growled.
"Esther...?"
"Who’s your Esther? I said I’m Angel!!!" She spatted towards Edwin.
Everyone walked a little away from her.
"What’s happening here Albino?" Edwin asked as the Esther he knew is completely different.
"She has Dissociative identity disorder Ed! It’s not entirely Esther who’s in front of us!" Albino said folding his arms agaisntthis chest.
"Tell us more about it!" Edwin said.
"DID is usually the result of sexual or physical abuse during childhood. Sometimes it develops in response to a natural disaster or other traumatic events like combat. The disorder is a way for someone to distance or detach themselves from trauma.A person with DID has two or more distinct identities. The “core” identity is the person’s usual personality. “Alters” are the person’s alternate personalities. Some people with DID have up to 100 alters.Alters tend to be very different from one another. The identities might have different genders, ethnicities, interests and ways of interacting with their environments.
Other common signs and symptoms of DID can include:
Anxiety,Delusions,Depression,Disorientation,Drug or alcohol abuse,Memory loss,Suicidal thoughts or self-harm, but here Esther didn’t had any of these except anxiety and depression.
"You said she would gone through any physical abuse but her parents were caring people.!"
"It may not be her parents, there will be different places she would have gone. Like school!!"
"Yeah, she did had some problems, I contacted with the chief sister , who was a teacher before! There some students used to bully her , from after the death of her parents and also they used to bully her taking pics of her working in Delight hotel.." zackary said and they nodded. [ I had highlighted the portion where he called one of his men to talk about the teacher in Chap 211]
"She would have gone through a lot!" Edwin said and he couldn’t blink away his tears. Albino just patted his shoulders.
"How did you know it was Esther? "Edwin asked all of a sudden to Zackary.
"The day she was kidnapped, when I arrived there, everyone was already on the ground. I scooped her up and asked her....but she ....
FLASHBACK
Zachary went inside and saw something that he never predicted. He saw the men were all on ground. Some were moaning due to pain, some dead. His eyes were searching for Esther and there she is trying to stand on her own trying to catch hold of the chair, as she was too weak to stand.
He ran to her. And helped her stand up. "Esther who came here? Who helped you?"
"Someone....
"Esther...come on...!" Zackary panicked.
"Hahaha... You fool .....first take me to ..... hospital... Or else .... Don’t make me do what I .....did to them...." She said in a swaying voice.
FLASHBACK ENDS
[I have highlighted this portion in Chap 202]
"You should have told us before!" Edwin nearly yelled.
"What difference does it make Ed?" Zackary asked.
"Okay... So let’s talk about the remedy now!" Albino interrupted them .
