[Frowns, but she doesn't glance away from the gore.] That's quite a battlefield.

What happened?

[... Sighs.]

There's demons in Tokyo now. And people can summon them. Some... don't use the power well. The SDF and police force have been given orders to make sure demon tamers don't get out of hands, and... have killed some of them, or people they suspect are tamers.

[He shakes his head.] Some of them are tamers, too, and are using the power just as poorly.

[That's quite a lot to take in.]

What kind of demons are these?

... All different kinds. They look like ones from old myths, mostly, but...

[He shakes his head.]

I don't really understand why they can't use somewhere else for their war.

And this is how it looked before you came here?

Yeah. In some places it's worse... there's not usually that many bodies around at once, though.

[He pauses.]

It might have been this bad when Beldr showed up, though.

What year are you from?

And who?

2009.

And... he's a demon. A very powerful one. Or at least, he was. He was one of the contenders for the Throne of Bel.

[He suddenly looks a little... uncomfortable.]

I killed him.

[Must be a different Tokyo then, cause she doesn't remember reports of demons 5 years ago.]

No reason to feel awkward about that.

It's still strange for me. I'm not exactly used to killing things.

You look a little too young to have to worry about that, but I suppose you had no choice in the matter.

I'm seventeen. One of the people with me and my group was fifteen, I think.

But no, we didn't really have a choice. Fight or die or run... and to run would be leaving everyone else in the area to die.

Well, is it a relief to be here instead, then?

I guess? It's more peaceful, and I can sleep in an actual bed... but even if the time spent here doesn't affect what happens back there, I still have... a war to finish, I guess.

[Looks away from the screen.]

... And another one to start.

Hm?

... Which part of that didn't you get?
