   Summary

   “The fact of the matter is…” he whispers, “you owe me.”

   “Owe you?!” Jekyll exclaims- it is as though a switch has been flipped. He is facing Hyde now, in shock and indignation. “Your very presence has disabled me… I can think of nothing else than when I shall next be you… what I shall do, how I shall feel…”

   “Disabled?” Hyde’s shoulders shake in a laugh. To think that Jekyll still acts as though he’s been corrupted by some foul spirit, when they both know who that spirit belongs to. “You don’t know what you’re saying. Is it not I who enables you to take your pleasure where before there was none, to finally live for each moment I am free? You could never have continued on without me. You need me to live as an invalid needs a chair to move.”

   Hyde is set on the idea of communicating with the other side of his coin. It goes as well as it could.
