Despite that unfortunate first day of work, I will continue working at the host club. The pay is very good, the tips more so, and I can observe these other city dwellers when I am not otherwise inebriated. I will have a talk with management about this drinking policy, though I have an inkling nothing will come of it

I don't believe we have properly met--my drunken entry aside. I am called Zexion; may I have your name?

Unless you think otherwise, titles from before arriving in this city have little meaning. But if you have a title here, that would be significant.

Grueling and inappropriate would be my asking why one would simply be judged by their title. You do not need to apologize.

I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Doctor Valeria. ... I can see why you would have taken interest in an entry of gibberish.

One has to wonder how rare it is that one is not using another. It is a common occurrence; the level of manipulation is what varies.

Anastasia, then. I am fine now; I was attended to and rested well afterwards.

I see. Gods are a rather delicate matter. You still had choices of your own though, did you not?

I have no intention to. Thank you for your concern.

Five hundred years. You are ... immortal, then?

Your world sounds quite entangled with the will of the gods.
