Chapter 15: A sacrifice and a successful negotiation [voice//filtered from Yuca]
[Ryuubi sounds distant - strange and distant, as though partway gone into the strange half-dream, half-memory state that hounds him sometimes. Not completely, though, he's making sense. He's clearly addressing the city.]
There will not be another wave of angels. Yuca Collabel is not making any more of them. Our only worry now is the ones already loose, and the infection.
There may be the basics, or at least the notes for a serum that paralyzes them in Captain Kurotsuchi's lab, where he worked. It might have all been destroyed, but we should search, nonetheless.
[He pauses for a moment before continuing, even more softly.]
Yuca himself is at the Southeast Quarter, at [x,y].
[Another pause - this one longer. So long that it almost seems that he's finished talking, and only his quiet breathing betrays that the PCD is still on. He all but forces himself to talk.]
After this is over, I think I am going to let myself go for a while. To be someone else. I'll be at the Temple of Heaven if you need me. Don't be concerned if I don't recognize you at first. I'll come back. It's all perfectly normal.
