[ The first time anyone has seen Naraku since before the water event. The video is in the area near the Devil's Nest, and Naraku is standing over a slain bear-like creature, who appeared to have been asphyxiated and impaled in several places by a large, sharp objects; there are holes bored clear through the creature and out the other side. ]This

What is that...?

[It's not a human or a demon, and the death of it isn't so much of a surprise as it's existence in the first place. Was it even sentient?]

[ voice ]

[bcuzofmiasma]

Do you pity this creature?

[ voice ]

[notnamedtimmy]

In a way. Its death was very brutal from what I can tell.

[ Disapproving tone is disapproving, but that's par for the course.]

Why did you kill it?

[ voice ]

[bcuzofmiasma]

It was attempting to get inside my home. There is no further explanation necessary.

[ voice ]

[notnamedtimmy]

That doesn't mean you have to kill it!

[She sounds frustrated, but she sighs. It's no use going down that road with him.]

Where did it come from?

[Not a very subtle way to try and figure out his hiding place, but worth a shot.]

[ voice ]

[bcuzofmiasma]

Human sympathy is a curse. It what makes your kind weak.

[ Naraku makes a 'hmph' laugh under his breath at her question. ]

Wherever it came from, I sincerely hope that it will not be missed.

[ voice ]

[notnamedtimmy]

That isn't true at all! Human kindness is our strength, not a weakness.

[ voice ]

[bcuzofmiasma]

There is nothing to be gained from showing kindness to a rabid animal.

[ voice ]

[notnamedtimmy]

How would you know what's to be gained from kindness? Have you ever been kind to someone without planning to use them?

[ voice ]

[bcuzofmiasma]

You know the answer to this.

[ voice ]

[notnamedtimmy]

Yes. And that's why you'll never win.
