[demonicgene]

Kazuya had for quite some time now, been aware of his waning interest in life in general. Despite the rather crippling depression he hid from the rest of the world though, his personal code of honor forbid him from harming himself.

A little distance away, Sheik stood, arms crossed, somewhat more natural-looking red eyes narrowed. Ever since he had met with the Seer, he had taken to keeping a careful eye on Escherville, watching for anyone who may attempt to disrupt things before the time was right.

"Your eagerness to die or be corrupted into something beyond recognition perplexes me."

She moves forward, checking that none of the collapsed, warded entrances into the deeper areas of Escherville have been violated.

Kazuya grunted a bit, sounding rather annoyed.

"And your eagerness to speak of things you do not understand perplexes me."
