08: Questioning...

I'm not too sure I appreciate being hit on by a mass murderer. For the record, doesn't anyone see a growing trend of them flocking to Vertere?

I wish they weren't here. I have such a headache.

[tainted_piano]

Kurama, are you hurt?

[redorsilver]

Ah, no, not at all. I'm preparing for a surprise, though. You shouldn't worry about anything.

[tainted_piano]

If music was weaponry, I could help. But until science has adapted us, I can't.

[redorsilver]

Using music as a weapon...as strange as that might sound, I imagine it will happen. After all, if one man can create a knife with one blade of grass, imagine what he can do with a musical note.

[tainted_piano]

If I could do that, I might be able to defend myself. Surely one day a piano key will be the trigger for disaster and I welcome it. ...I exist for music, after all..

[redorsilver]

I'm sure there is more to your life than music, however. One cannot live on music alone?

[tainted_piano]

I was a piano virtuoso where I was. I lived on music alone and... the support of my caretaker Cara and my little sister Alice.

...there's a girl here who looks just like Alice, you know... but she's not. It hurts everytime I see her.

[redorsilver]

Is that so? You never know, it could be her reincarnation. What's her name?

[tainted_piano]

Reincarnation? Alice isn't dead, though...

Oh, her name is Yukina. She looks just like Alice, it's insane. Though I don't think she's a cosplayer..

[redorsilver]

Oh, I...Yukina? As in, the red-eyed young lady Yukina?

[tainted_piano]

Yeah, Yukina. Red eyes, aqua hair... ...just like Alice...

[redorsilver]

Are you and Alice twins? Yukina has someone who's looking for her. If he catches your scent on her, you may be in for some trouble.

[tainted_piano]

Twins? No...Alice was my kid sister. She's like thirteen.

[redorsilver]

Ah, well, I'm sure your sister will be just fine. Maybe Yukina will find a surrogate brother in you.
