[ haha. ]

…

Because that’s not how Renju died.

[ ... huh.

that's interesting, actually. ]

Are you sure? What mine showed is definitely something that happened.

You seemed confused by yours too.

[ ryo-merica explain. ]

… I’m pretty sure. I would’ve more clearly remembered if my best friend was murdered and hung from a fishing hook.

I just noticed something interesting in mine. That I didn't when it happened.

[ but hm.

he folds his arms over his chest, thinking. ]

Then, what? A fake memory? One that this place created, or one that's already in your head?

Something interesting?

[ not that. y'know.

it means anything to him lmao. ]

... I don't know. It can't be already in my head if I have a different memory of how Renju died -- that was where I died as well.

Mm, something he said at the end before he transformed. I didn't know what he was talking about...

[ since he was distracted by, you know, the guy setting himself on fire and turning into a monster.

but. ]

Is there anything that might have given you a wrong memory? Drugs?

... The bit about dying human?

[ HE UNDERSTANDS NONE OF THIS. ] I can see why you'd be too distracted by everything to else to really take in what he was saying.

I don't do drugs. And... I can't think of anything that would do that, no.

[ he just nods his head, frowning. ]

... hm. Strange. I wonder what that means then.

I'd love to know.

[ he's a bit, y'know. disturbed by that. ]

... What did that guy turn in to? In that memory of yours. It didn't look, uh.... human.

Oh... a demon.

[ being in hell has been very funny. ]

They possess humans. Whoever has a stronger will gains control-- so there could have been a chance for the Professor to have overpowered the demon, if he was stronger. But in most cases it ends up like that.

So you escaped demons, only to come face to face with demons.

[ wow. ryo... sucks to be you. ]

Most, but not all.

More or less. I was apprehensive, when we first met them, but these are much more... civilized, than the ones I'm used to.

[ like

they are not eating them ]

They're not too different to dealing with regular people, except they're so much taller.

... And ruder.

Well, they don't like their job and we are technically part of the job. I would be rude too.

[ he's already rude ]

Career change.

[ he IS already rude, i love that for him ]

Well, going by how this goes, they might get one.

Oh?

If it goes well you mean?

Bloody Mary told me there's a chance that Satan might not continue this setup since we keep murdering each other.

[ closes his eyes. ]

I blame Bucky and Four.

Right...

Who knows where we'd be thrown to in that case.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just let us see it through -- chances are a few more of us will get a rude bump when things don't work out the way they planned.

Probably... but who knows what happens after the party.

... Right, all we really know is that 20 of us have to get there first.

We've gotten used to how it is now, so we might have to just start from the beginning for adjusting.

If it's quieter than this then we're off to a great start.
