[And now she has to answer that one, too. She winces, trying to delay the silence, but she has to speak.]

I was mauled. Devoured.

Devoured? By what?

[Sorry, Mina. That's not something you can just drop on someone.]

...Have you heard of the cannibals here? One of them. [She doesn't want to elaborate any further.]

Cannibals... No. No, I haven't.

[If it wasn't already apparent that this place wasn't as peaceful as it seemed, this cinched it.]

Can you tell me who to be wary of?

And... are you all right now?

[She answers automatically, her voice reaching a monotonous, tight pitch.]

They call themselves the Embryon. The one in question is Heat. Their leader is named Serph. There are five... six of them?

...I'm injured, but... healing. [That much is the truth, at least.]

I'll remember that.

...Is there anything I can get you? [He's feeling a bit on the useless side.]

No, thank you.

I'm sorry. I didn't intend to tell you.

Would you prefer I didn't mention it, then?

[More forced honesty.] Yeah. Just... don't tell Ganta-san or my brother.

[a pause] It's because I can't lie. Some fucked-up rule of this world.

I'll avoid doing so.

A rule? Is it a punishment of some sort? Ah... no, don't answer. Do you know if it's permanent?

[She answers anyway.] Yeah. Probably.

And I'm not sure. Someone I know said it might go away...

[He wasn't going to take a guess at what she'd done to earn punishment. Hummingbird wasn't exactly innocent.]

I would hope that it does. You should lie low for a while.

[Oh, she knows it, and knows that he does, as well, if he'd paid attention to the Carnival Corpse.]

That's what I'm doing.

Good.

If you do need anything, give me a call.
