Tancredi
きりか

Tancredi is Grandma`s only son born with two heads. Grandma was endured. Because of innumerable are the faults of man, and it was useless to seek the one for which God had sent that punishment. And she proudly bore her cross.
Grandma Santina thought she saw in that delay an invitation to take the initiation. So,she tried some method. Bud he was existing. At last she gave up. She had to reassign herself to God`s will, whose ends,as always, escaped her.
Tancredi grew. And as he grew,the tow heads became more and more different. For example, his looks,in the matter of attire, and character. So, relations between the two heads were not good. The conflicting was tasted Tancredi. Later, the right Tancredi tried to purify his flesh by inflicting torture on himself. It realized without informing his half.

Tancredi
Middle-angle

Single body with two heads, angel and devil....

Grandma Santina gave a birth to a baby boy after 13 months of her pregnancy. The baby was very healthy except one unusual appearance. He had two heads. The baby was baptized and named Tancredi.
Due to his anomaly, Santina tried whatever she could think of to get rid of her son from her life, but all of her attempts ended in failure.
As he grew older, Tancredi, in other words two heads, showed entire different personalities. The right Tancredi was well-bred just like an angel, but the left Tancredi grew up to be just like a devil
The relation of the two heads were pretty bad. In their minds (or brains) everything was opposite. The right head hoped "The Utopia", while the left one had a thought of destruction. It was very annoying for both of them that they had to share one body. The right head always had to suffer from every evil deed the left head did with his left hand.
Things turned out to be much worse when the left head started seeing Sbrega, a prostitute. While they were having pleasure, the right head always endured it as they had only one body.
The right head thrust his belly at last to make the left head stop doing such a shame. The left head was furious enough that he killed his twin head. The left head realized for the first time that the right head was irreplaceable for him. He sang a sad lullaby for the dead and eventually he himself also died as they were twins with a single body.

人の心ってやはり脳の中にあるんでしょうか?双頭の双子の物語、同じ体を共有している二人の真逆な性格は、まるで天使と悪魔のよう・・・。私達の中にも見えないけれど2人のTancrediがいるのかもしれませんね。片方だけでは存在しえない天使と悪魔が

Tancredi
ぱんぷきん
Grandma Santina gave birth to a baby boy after her thirteen months' pregnant. The baby was beautiful and healthy except one problem. The problem was he had two heads. The baby boy was named Tancredi.
After she breastfed for one month, she thought Tancredi would die soon but God's invitation was in the delay. She tried to cut out him from her life against God's will.
As Tancredi grew, the two heads became more and more different. The right Tancredi was delicate, quiet and nice to people though, another Tancredi is aggressive, violent and ill-mannered.
The painful thing was that they had completely different doctrine and advocacy for everything and they couldn't take apart physically of course, even the other one didn't want to act the one had to follow.
The worst part was when the bad Tancredi was sexually awakened. While the bad Tancredi spent the nights with Sbrega, the good one did nothing but abiding.
Finally, the right Tancredi pricked his belly by the pin to stop the left Tancredi. The left one was really angry and hit, then squeezed the other one's neck. The good Tancredi died and the left one followed soon after.
Did two minds go to heaven or only one? At least the right one was relieved from profanation for sure.
