Bloodstained Switch

"The switch was pressed, but not by me."

- Patient

Blood-Stained Switch is a song released by Akuno-P on December 4, 2012. It follows the story of a girl who suffers from a serious medical condition: Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome.

Plot
The story takes place as a girl explains that she is not responsible for the death of her father and that it was another her. Suffering from the Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome, the girl insists that she loved her father and always watched him as he worked and obeyed him when she was told not to touch the switch. However, the other her came out and pressed the switch instead. As the song progresses, you see the medical journal by the doctors watching her and her own personal diary. At the end of the song, she begs not to be given the injection, saying that she doesn't want it.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The Japanese word チミドロ (chimidoro), aside from meaning "bloodstained", means "desperate struggle", referring to the girl's struggle against her other, evil personality.
 * The word "switch" has a double meaning; the girl would sometimes "switch" between her two personalities, with "blood-stained" results.
 * Among the characteristics of the syndrome are Dissociative Identity Disorder and Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
 * Because there were no ties period-wise to his other existing songs during that time, mothy purposefully chose the default outfit for MAYU as the design for the character.

Curiosities

 * The Deadly Sins of Evil: The Lunacy of Duke Venomania novel details that those with Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome have a 1/655284465 chance of survival: 1/65535 chance for the gene actually appearing times 1/9999 chance for actually surviving with the gene.
 * The song also makes use of color for symbolism, with red having negative connotations and blue having positive ones; a similar color symbolism is used in Full Moon Laboratory.
