He looks like a ghost, but he really doesn't act like one. I've never heard of a ghost exactly copying another person. Or one that steals your thoughts.

[Oh, he really did look mad.]

So what do you really want? Why are you tormenting Dipper?

[mysterytwin]

[The double laughed again, apparently thoroughly amused at the prospect of what was unfolding in front of him before looking at Dipper. How cute. You think you're friends? You and I both know differently, don't we, Dip? Dipper bit his bottom lip and the shadow flopped back down into the seat behind him, lounging back. I'm him, he's me. We're the same.]

No we're not. [The twin looked at him with mild surprise as Dipper spoke, looking off to the side before he raised his eyes, looking straight at the shadow.] I'm nothing like you.

[brokethecycle]

And you didn't answer the question. What do you want?

[mysterytwin]

[Your guess is as good as mine, paintbrush.]

[brokethecycle]

[What an odd answer. When its tormenting Dipper it doesn't want to shut up but try to get it to talk about anything else and it clams up.]

You said it was voicing all you negative thoughts right?

[mysterytwin]

[He gave a small shrug.]

Negative thoughts, insecurities, fears. I guess they're all the same in some way though.

[brokethecycle]

...Maybe you should hear what it has to say then. Maybe that's what it wants.

[mysterytwin]

[Dipper glanced over at the double, not receiving an answer to that as it examined its nails. He reached up to rub his arm, glancing away.]

What if I'm not ready to listen?

[brokethecycle]

Then it might not go away.

[He bit his lip.]

If you want, I can leave. So you don't have to listen to it where I can hear it. Would that make it easier?

[mysterytwin]

[It takes him a moment to respond, giving a sigh and shaking his head.]

I think...I think I'd like someone to be here.

[brokethecycle]

All right.

[Norman turned his gaze over to the shadow, fixing it with a frown.]
