[ so amused ]

How very much like home this city is becoming.

A pity those corpses went to waste. They were still yet warm.

[delives]

Sounds like one hell of an interesting place.

[ nearly wistful ]

There is no city like Tokyo. She was beautiful, even at her most cruel.

voice.

[delives]

[ so that's the 'She' he was talking about. ]

... You're talking about a city like it's some kind of person.

voice.

[temerate]

She is.

"Person" is an incorrect term, but she is indeed alive. In another lifetime, I served the divine spirit that represents her will.

voice.

[delives]

[ ...pause. too confusing, doesn't care. ]

That's some weird stuff you're saying.

voice.

[temerate]

Hast thou no tradition, in thy world, of particular locations that are guarded by and sacred to spirits?

voice.

[delives]

Never gave a shit about those things.

voice.

[temerate]

A very human attitude.

But perhaps thou never considered whether 'those things' had an interest in thee.

voice.

[delives]

Ah? What do you mean?

voice.

[temerate]

[ slowly darkening in tone ]

It is because humans lost their reverence for the world of spirits and youkai that the city began to decay. They chose new gods to worship, those of modernity, of sin and indulgence, and grew arrogant enough to discard the traditions of the land.

[ nearly hissed ]

They made her suffer.

voice.

[delives]

[ r u mad, waifu ]

You know, everytime you start talking about that "her" of yours you sound kinda obsessed.

voice.

[temerate]

[ yes bb RAAAR KILL ALL HUMANS good thing he thinks you're not one ]

I dedicated my life to her service. For four hundred years, I gave her everything. In her name I killed, I protected, I carried out her will without complaint or hesitation, and I would have restored the city to its proper balance, I would have forced the humans to remember their fear, I would have--

[ breaking off ]

Without faith they were killing her, and she allowed it.
