Note: To those who read my Abandoned Hopes story, this is not the same character.
Meet Kotushk. A human who can keep a facade of normalcy, even when his emotions are trying to rip him apart. But his acts, his ploys, they all eat away at him, and he has had to develop coping mechanisms. His most used one? Mind splitting. He has, over the years, broken his own mind and partitioned it, to avoid pain and... anger. A life most unjust, he only wishes to be loved. His only pride is his intelligence, which he uses to create a machine. A desperate move, as this machine's first and only test is himself. One try, and the machine is destroyed. The machine's purpose? To relocate him from his own world, and place him somewhere he can find peace at last.
