Multiple personalities. Today we would call it dissociative identity disorder, but in the case of Markitas it would be more appropriate to call it multiple personalities.
After all, there really are other personalities lurking in there.

Jin looked at Markitas with a strangely satisfied face,
"I see. You have been inconsistent and incoherent."

"What do you know!"
Markitas was furious.
But Jin is not silent either. He borrows a word from Jin D and says what he wanted to say.

But Markitas is having none of it.

Jin frowned in discomfort in the Horaijima command center.
"I knew it, you're crazy."

"Yes. And then there's the one who denies material civilization, Markitas."
But the last personality is very ambiguous and relatively sane? I had the feeling that I was about to be swallowed up by the relatively sane Markitas and the Markitas with a desire to destroy.
"I can't help it if I know that, though, can I?"

A word of command from Reiko would have done the job in an instant. However, Jin was afraid of this way of settling the case.

Yes. To protect this world.

Yes, to protect this world. - Yes. You defy me so foolishly, when all things are doomed to perish.

Something has gone wrong with Markitas' puppet-slave-doll.
Lord Malchitas!

The support golem is acting strange too. He seems to be in a panic.
Several support golems of the same type have appeared, and to Jin's eyes, they seem to be moving left and right.
"Father, could it be that something happened to the main body of Malchitas?"

Reiko seemed to be right, Jin thought.
"Uh, a support golem, right? Where is the main body of Markitas? I can use some healing magic.

Jin wondered and came up with a hypothesis.
"Does this support golem share consciousness or knowledge?
And this is confirmed by the report from the old man.

Jin thanked him and returned his attention to the support golems. Just then, they began to move again.

Jin Nido, you will come with us then. And I ask you to heal Master Malchitas.

Reiko nodded reluctantly.
If Reiko really wanted to, the walls of this base would offer only paper-thin resistance, but even so, she was reluctant to leave Jin D's side.
However, since it was not Jin himself, I obeyed him, albeit reluctantly.

In the next room.
In the next room, there was Markitas lying on the bunk.

His head was covered with a helmet or a mask-like magi-machine, but when Jin D. and the others approached, the helmet was removed and his face became clearly visible.
"Is that Markitas? ......"
He looks a lot like a puppet doll......, well, the puppet doll did.

But she looked much older. In other words, the man in front of me, Markitas, is old and about to run out of life.
Two support golems were attached to the left and right sides of his bed, and seemed to be monitoring his condition. One of them asks Jin D. "Can you fix him?
