[The sound of Anotsu's voice flickers on and off into the speakers, followed by faint bursts of static. The network devices are obviously malfunctioning.]

The aftermath of the earthquake?

[One can hear him striking a flint. He is setting paper on fire, but it is an unsuccessful endeavor; as soon as the flames flicker gold, they promptly sputter

What, think you'll be attacked?

[ voice ]

[to_turn_away]

It is unlikely, considering that I have no enemies here save you.

[ voice ]

[revengeisalie]

Yeah, and I'm not dumb enough to slink around in the dark.

[ voice ]

[to_turn_away]

Indeed. I remember you to be honest and forthcoming . . . at least with regards to killing me.

[ voice ]

[revengeisalie]

...

Anyway, you could still be attacked. Look what just went down in the City.

[Another hiss of the flint. Still, no crackle of fire.]

Their business is not mine, unless they cross my path.

Heh.

[ voice ]

[revengeisalie]

... I don't even know. I'm just saying it could happen. Not like I know why, though.

[ voice ]

[to_turn_away]

Now, I return the question to you . . .

"What's it to you?"

[ voice ]

[revengeisalie]

Nothing! I'm just saying.

[ voice ]

[to_turn_away]

You needn't worry. I can still see. It would take more than darkness to fell the leader of the Itto-ryu.

[ voice ]

[revengeisalie]

Like people who actually have superhuman powers?

[ voice ]

[to_turn_away]

None of whom have a score to settle with me.

Your worry extends that far, girl?

[ voice ]

[revengeisalie]

I never said I was worried.

[ voice ]

[to_turn_away]

Heh. I do not see the opposite, however--that you would wish me to encounter an enemy in the dark.

[ voice ]

[revengeisalie]

Of course not.

If anyone's going to kill you, it's me.

[to_turn_away]

Heh.
