07 [Video]
[It’s sunset when this video flicks on, and by now the alarms have stopped blaring.
The face that comes into view on the screen is one that the older residents of Death City will recognize, but that hasn’t been seen here for some weeks. His skin is streaked with dirt and sweat and there’s a generous smattering of blood across his cheeks, his hair, his clothes. He looks, in short, like a man who has been in a war zone. He looks like that because he has been.]
Oi, Death City. Spirit Albarn is alive. He almost wasn’t.
He was supposed to die today. Two witches granted clemency by Shibusen showed their real loyalties and tried to kill him. When we cut them, they bled black and healed like water.
This attack that you faced today was meant to turn the tide and mark a new era in this war. It was meant to portend the start of the witches’ slow victory.
The Deathscythe is still alive. Hope it makes a difference.
[And he slams the communicator closed, killing the feed.]
