The Balance of Life and Death

... I guess it really does take longer the second time around. But... has it really been that long?

Soul Eater... was thar dream real?

Hey everyone. I'm back, finally. Anything happened in the last few weeks I should be aware of?

Death... is a funny thing, you know? It just... always seems to get you when you least expect it. And here we have the... absurdity that it's not a one way road. How... ridiculous.


Maybe what we need is a god of death.

Gentlemen. The game is up. I suggest we allign ourselves if we intend to survive.

To put it in terms even the stupidest of you can understand: They're onto us.

I understand if there is some hesitation to abandon these bodies. After all, we got quite lucky with these abilities. But the fact remains is we have two choices: Fight or Flight.

So... what'll it be?

...So you won't let me silence you again? I suppose that's what I deserve. You manipulated me from the very beginning to free yourself... and I was weak enough to allow it.

I never ignored you. I know things are rough. The things you and I want are just so different, though. I can't be the host you feel like you are entitled to. When did you get like this? Was it feeding on Ted's grandfather? I refuse to believe you were always this cruel. Of course you aren't. Gremio and Nanami are alive BECAUSE of you.

Life and Death. LIFE and Death. You don't have to just send souls to the beyond, or even feed upon them. Every time a child is born, the power you govern over has a hand in that. That means something to you, doesn't it?

...I'm sorry, but I can't let you keep doing this. I won't allow you to play my emotions anymore. If you won't let me do this myself then...

I will find someone who can.




...And yes, the communicator was on. They will find me soon. I know you wont stop it. You'll want to kill them too. You're still hungry. You're always hungry...

...

They didn't get so riled up with the others were killed. The equality of the law here is paper thin. The only truly equal law is...

If I may be so bold, sir, I'd like to speak with you. It's a grave matter.

...I've been enjoying my vacation so far. But things are getting worse. With Naoto in the clinic...

I'm sorry, Kazuki, but I have to go back to the force. They need me now more than ever. I have to do what I can to make sure this place is safe. Anything and everything. It's impossible for me to relax when all of this is happening.

I find myself wondering if this could possibly be a vision of Soul Eater... It was something Leknaat told me of once. That the Runes themselves can show visions of or even grant passage to other realities. Her own Rune governed part of that delicate balance...

So have you sent me here, Soul Eater? Is this your way of testing me once more? It's a funny way of showing it...taking me away from Gremio like that. I can't access your spells, either... Though I'd call that a blessing.

And yet I can still feel you and hear you... Just what is the meaning here? Is it you or some other sorcery that has brought me to this place?


And yet...I took to leading once more. It was a role I tried to avoid before, but it seems destiny had other things in mind...

Destiny would also have me abandon others...Sir Ky...I can't...
