What kind of vision?

[unpredicktable]

First, a red orb trying to escape an exorcism circle and separating in two when it succeeded; then a white one going from an unidentifiable dead body to a living one. It fits what Kagachi and the rest found when they went exploring-- our demons are multiplying every time we strike them down, and roles just... pass onto the next person.

[ there's a beat-- ]

Which makes you wonder what we are, exactly.

[uncurtained]

[There’s a small pause as she frowns.]

What we are...?

[unpredicktable]

What gave us these powers. Where they come from. Just what was the previous group up to.

[uncurtained]

If the red orb is supposed to be a demon... Do you think the white orb is supposed to represent a different kind of being, or something else?

[unpredicktable]

Could be a different kind of being. That it seeks out a new body when the first one perishes at least implies it's mildly parasitic in nature.

[uncurtained]

Well, that's...

[...]

Terrifying, honestly.

[unpredicktable]

... Sorry. [ he looks a little awkward ] It's only speculation. It could be some kind of magic that simply seeks a host at all costs?

[uncurtained]

...Pretty much everything about this place is going to freak me out in some way. You don't have to censor yourself, or anything.

[She tries to keep her tone light as she says that, but.]

[unpredicktable]

It's not about censoring myself. But I'm-- [ hmm. ] There's no way not to make it sound insulting, but you're involved, so sometimes I forget you're... not used to this stuff.

[uncurtained]

[...]

It's not really insulting if it's true, you know.

[unpredicktable]

The part where I admit I'd be coddling you if I did is what might come off as insulting.

[uncurtained]

You know I'm older than you, right?

[unpredicktable]

Not that way. [ though he does look a bit amused ] But I don't interact with civilians the same way I do with-- other superheroes.

[ he was going to say something else but apparently changed his mind ]

[uncurtained]

Well, lucky for both of us, I don't think I really count as a civilian anymore.

[unpredicktable]

I know. But just... tell me if it's ever too much, alright?

[uncurtained]

[After a moment:]

I don't really have a choice on that, do I? I mean - whether or not I know about what's happening here, it's still going to be happening, whether it's too much or not.

[unpredicktable]

That doesn't mean you can't take a break from hearing about it.

[uncurtained]

I can't say it wouldn't be nice, but - considering the stakes...

[unpredicktable]

The stakes are high, yes, but we've got time on our hands plenty. If you ever need a time out to breathe, tell me.

[uncurtained]

I'd say the same to you, but...

[Somehow, she doubts that'll happen.]
