You don’t see why people thought that talking to themselves was weird; you talk to yourself all the damn time, and it’s fine with you. Keeps you sharp.

Okay, maybe you’re not technically talking to yourself, but you’re talking to the things you made so that you wouldn’t have to talk to yourself. You put something of yourself in each of your creations - maybe a little more literally than you would like to think, now that you know a little bit about yourself and what it is that you do. You know, rending hearts, destroying souls, leaving little bits and pieces of them shattered around you, that sort of thing... not like you’ve have anybody to practice on but yourself, right?

Either way. You talk to yourself. You answer yourself. You have fucking sweet rap battles with yourself. It isn’t that hard of a concept, and it keeps you from going stir-crazy in the silence and keeps your voice from going all, like Dr. Lector in jail on you. That’s be a hell of a waste, right?
