Ask Me Anything
Ask me... Anything!
For you, all lives are created equal. That's why I came back to life.
But you've finally come to realize it now, haven't you?
The only thing equal for all mankind is death.
-Johan.

Everyone died ten years ago. The instructors, the orphans - everyone died. Johan sat here, watching it all. I asked him what he had done. He answered me by dropping a cloth soaked in oil into the fire. Do you get it?
"I just added a little fuel to the hatred born when people come together." That's what he said! A ten year old boy! And he did it! He had fifty people kill each other without lifting a finger!
It's true that 511 Kinderheim was an experimental project to transform orphans into perfect soldiers. But it was only a little experiment. ... There's no way we could have created such a work of art. He was beyond human from the start. A monster!
Johan predicted that man would ultimately end up hating and killing each other to oblivion. What do you think Johan's goal was?
To be the last person alive at the end of the world.

I thought I had reached the darkest of the dark, but then ahead of me...
...I saw even greater darkness.

You said Johan plays with humans as if he's disturbing a line of ants. Do you know what people call me? That's right. The Vampire of Bavaria. I took pride in that name. The more I pushed myself, the larger it grew... the monster inside me. I believe that I, too, wanted to play with a line of ants.
Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to make war with him?
The only thing that can defeat the beast is another monster.

It's me, mother. I'm back. Welcome home.
Even you can't tell us apart, can you mother? Nina. Anna. Names don't matter. She is me, and I am her. You are me, and I am you.
I figured it all out. Where we came from, where we're going.
The weather's nice outside, mother.
Everything will be in flames.

Ask me anything, I'll probably write an essay.
