After the Banquet:

Simone’s Notes:

Sexual addictions, also known as sex addictions, is a conceptual model that describes compulsive participation or engagement in sexual activities, despite negative consequences. It is considered by its proponents to be the same thing as hypersexual disorder. In clinical diagnostics, the term sexual dependence may also refer to a conceptual model that is used to assess people who report being unable to control their sexual urges, behaviors, or thoughts. Related models of pathological sexual behavior include hypersexuality, erotomania, nymphomania, satyriasis, Don Juanism, or Don Juanitaism, and paraphilia-related disorders. Clinicians, such as psychiatrists, sociologists, sexologists, and other specialists, have differing opinions on the classification and clinical diagnosis of sexual addiction. As a result, "sexual addiction" does not exist as a clinical entity in either the DSM or ICD medical classifications of diseases and medical disorders.

Edward sat up in the dim room.

The sun nearly blinded him.

Edward held his hand over his eyes.

When was the last time he saw the sun?

Before he knew it,

Edward began walking down the empty streets.

He had no destination in mind.

His eyes stayed on the ground.

He felt himself getting lost in his head.

His monsters were still in his soul.

Something told him that they would be staying longer.

Edward shook his head.

That crap again.

It reminded him of what he needed to do.

Right now,

He just wanted to…

Actually, he didn’t know what he wanted.

Edward sighed and stopped walking.

This was so stupid.

Maybe a hit from Manami could straighten him out.

Funny thing,

He didn’t really feel like going back either.

Edward shrugged and looked up at the sky.

Heh, might as well.

The incubus alchemist walked further

Down the road.

He still didn’t know where he going.

But it was better than getting lost in his head.

At least, then he had an easier time to

Ignore the “guests” in his soul.
