The place where I met Jae. We couldn't use our names.

Oh, so that's why he's Jae! Okay, I got it now.

[ hum hum hum ]

So, do you prefer Appointment with Death Under a Curtain or Geto Suguru?

I'm fine with either, really.

Mmm . . . It's cuter to keep your names matching, in my opinion, so I'll go with Curtain!

[makes a bit of a face at that, but does not complain]

. . . Hm?

[ tilts her head ]

Hm?

. . . Hm, no, it's nothing.

Why did you decide to eat her?

Science, you could say?

I'm a curse user, so it would have been a convenient way to make sure she was entrapped for good.

Hmm, I see. What does being a "curse user" entail?

Why is this suddenly an interrogation?

[wait fuck, taboo again. this time he actually gets up and hurries a few steps away]

Well, you could be asking me questions, but—

[ wa. . . watches him go . . . ]

Again? Just what kind of taboo is that?

[taking a moment while he waits it out, and when it seems like the danger is over he comes back, a little pale-faced]

A very inconvenient one.

You were saying?

. . .

[ watching him. ]

What are your objectives?

Nothing you should concern yourself with.

Is your taboo avoiding being straightforward? Or is it not answering questions?

I don't know. My taboos aren't listed anywhere.

I did see that before, but I thought you'd have gotten a handle on it by now. . .

[ hums ]

It is something for me to concern myself with, since it's your soul on the line. If you won't tell me what an objective of yours is though, I'll just call Jae right now.

[it is time to contemplate whether Kim Dokja would actually show up to help with the way things are right now and. unfortunately. the answer is yes.]

...

[tosses a shirt in her general direction]

Accepting help.

[ prey slaughtered

catching the shirt ]

Oh, good! Let's see, you'll just need to do that two times to make up for the two times you got sick, hm?

[ while she starts to wash this shirt ]

How terribly kind of you, yes.

[resumes his own washing]

How incredibly terrible, yes. I forgot to say, but I'm the one with the bad personality. If you want the nicer one, you'll want Starfish.

[ with a little hum ]

Anyway—you're free to ask me questions if you like, this isn't a one-way exchange here. I told you before, I want us to get to know each other. If you're not interested though, I can just keep asking you questions.

Why do you want us to get to know each other? I am not interested in having that sort of relationship with you.

Didn't I already explain this?

. . . You're part of Finch, I'm part of Chipmunk. Our teams are friendly to each other, to the extent that I've been given orders to protect you and yours. I've met most of your team already, and I adore them all, so I want to get to know you, too.

And I'm interested in you. We already have plenty of things in common, and I want to get to know the person that Jae loves—the one that actually got that love to penetrate that thick skull of his. I don't want you to be made unhappy by my presence or my love, and I want to get along with you.

Are all land dwellers this unfriendly, or does Jae just have a type?
