8 - Like to add a coat of paint and be what they ain't
[Muraki hasn't shown his face on the Dreamberries like this in quite some time and this video comes from the jail rather than his apartment. Somarium's serial killer has finally been arrested and detained. With no easy energy source to heal himself, he hasn't been able to do anything for his injuries and he winces when he moves wrong after he turns on the video feed.]
Although it took the police until that boy recorded me to realize who their killer was, they managed to do one thing those at home never did by arresting me. I was questioned once and ignored, which left me free to kill my last victims. If you must applaud someone in this, applaud the fool pacifist who gave everyone a glimpse of me before I had time to get away. If it weren't for him, I'd still be free. Have either of them come back to life yet? I'm aware that it can sometimes take a week or so, but my personal experience with death wasn't nearly that long.
[Yes, that means what you think it does, Somarium -- someone killed him at some point, but he's not giving any details other than that. He moves his head, exposing his fake eye for all to see, and chuckles darkly.]
Even if I'm kept here for the rest of my life or executed, what point would it serve? The dead don't always stay dead here, after all, and would the prosecutors really simply lock me up again until I've died one death for each of my victims? Would that give the city a sense of justice and calm in the end? I'm not the only evil here, you know. You all can't stay safe forever, not as long as people come and go at the city's whims.
You may have taken care of one monster, but others will strike eventually and may not be as kind as I to give my victims relatively few memories of their deaths.
Sleep peacefully, Somarium. The vampire among you has been caught
