Did you know that floor B3 used to be occupied by a mad carpenter? He had such an eye for aesthetics... Or that's what he said about his twisted works of art. Wonder what happened to him?

I know some things that you don't
I’ve done things that you won't
There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful
Will you swear on your life
That no one will cry at my funeral?

How good it would have been if this were all just a dream
Even now, I still dream of you
Like I’m going home to get something I’ve forgotten
I dust off my old, worn memories

I did this to me
I did this to me
I did this to me
I did this to me
I wish it was your fault
I wish it was your fault
But how could it be, oh
But how could it be, oh
I did this to me
I was Human

4:32
Our hearts and minds are one, we think alike
It’s only me, I’m never satisfied
The moon above, so high in outer space
Tomorrow seems a hundred lives away

Again, again, this pen that cuts so deep
Words only hurt me, they can still hurt me, why do they hurt me?
I cry, I cry, I cry cause I’m alive
But that’s a given, that’s just a given, no longer living
Angels
Within Temptation
4:00
Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?

I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart

You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they would turn into real
You broke the promise and made me realize
It was all just a lie
Beauty of the Beast
Nightwish
10:21
I wish I could come back to you
Once again feel the rain
Falling inside me
Cleaning all that I've become

My home is far but the rest it lies so close
With my long lost love under the black rose
You told I had the eyes of a wolf
Search them and find the beauty of the beast

All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains
Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes
I wish I had one more night to live
Welcome to the Freakshow
No Name Faces
5:00
Everytime I close my eyes and slowly fall to sleep
This nightmare coming over me and drags me down deep
Ripping me apart, piece by piece
Welcome to the freakshow, feeling like a creep

I wake up exhausted but the battle is won
A new day is born but what have I become?
A psycho freak it's getting out of control
When the night falls, the darkness gets a grip to my soul

On the eve...dark as ink....tonight
I couldn’t leave...not with these feet...not a chance
When will the day invite me away?
I’m still…

Aah Aaah

Please anyone, anyone wake me again
Horrible dreams lying to me
In the world of the dead

Anywhere, anywhere, but where can I be?
Wandering up and down the place
Never one for me

This I know (x4)

Will I find anywhere for me to be?
Couldn’t stay, had to leave
There’s just no way for me
I’m hanging from my feet, up in the air, from a string

Saint Calvin told me not to worry about you
But he’s got his own things to deal with
There’s really just one thing that we have in common:
Neither of us will be missed

Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway
You always said how you loved dogs
I don’t know if I count, but I'm trying my best
When I'm howling and barking these songs

This will be ooh!
This will be aah!
This will be absolutely whee!
This will be nice, this will be neat
And bring you closer to me
So don't you squirm, don't you fret
I'm not gonna hurt you
Yet
I just feel the need to be getting
A little of you
A lot of blood-letting
I know the sensation you're probably dreading
But cutting you up will be so refreshing
For me, yeah
Refreshing for me, yeah

Well once upon a time
That's where the plot begins
And right after the end,
Well that's where the plot thins, and
I've got no angel to keep me in line
So I'm taking your narrative
And I'm making it mine

'Cause I'm all out of hurt
You've used up all I got
So I'm chopping you up
And still coming up squat
Curses
The Crane Wives
3:48
All my aching bones are trembling
And I may yet fall apart
Won't you stay with me, me darling
When the war starts in my heart?
When the war starts in my heart?

Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
The devil's after both of us
Lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me

Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
Tell me I am good enough
Lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me

Evelyn, Evelyn,
Why do we bother to stay?
Why are you running away?
Don’t you feel like severing?
Everything’s just come together at last.
It’s broken, I don’t want to play.

We grew up closer than most.
Closer than anything, closer than anything.
Shared our bed and wore the same clothes.
Talked about everything, spoke about so many things.

How long
You'll call me insincere?
I'm not here to fulfill your parody
How come
My song becomes unreal?
You never understand my melody

You know
I'll never disappear
Now get me out of here
Just trust in me, my dear
No cure is coming you know
I'll never disappear
Now get us out of here
Don't fight with me, my dear
Why can't I be in here?

'Cause you make me feel
Like I'm so alone
I know is not real
But is in my soul
And I just can try to face
The dark inside my head
Violet Hill

3:42
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architecture
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
Rains of Castamere
Ramin Djawadi & Serj Tankian
3:44
And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that’s all the truth I know.

In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o’er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Personality Changes

During his time here, he's had to put up with tiny reminders about his brother's death. Klados, the profiles, Dazai's questions at the trial, and finally the the circumstances of his death. Every little reminder and mistake came crashing down on him, and now he's left with a sense of self loathing. He no longer believes or tells anyone he's a pair of twins that became one, but he does properly mourn his brother's loss in private. In the long run, he tries not to let his brother's death stop him from moving on with his life.

Hyoubu's pep talk struck a cord with him, and made him wonder why he blindly accepted Danny's offer and sacrificed himself for a chance to spite the Lady. After all that's happened, he's more likely to question things that seem too good to be true. He does not like being manipulated and after nearly becoming a Void he's come to fear losing his sentience... Or worse, his entire soul.

After all of the lady's manipulation, Shin's developed a vengeful streak. He still has no qualms about killing for his art, but he's also likely to target those who he believes have gravely wronged or betrayed him. He happily draws up blueprints for multiple designs he can work his enemies into and bides his time until he has a chance to strike. If he has a chance to strike. He realizes he can't count on being able to murder his enemies, so he's fine if someone else inflicts karma first.

Shin's picked up painting as a hobby. He prefers to paint portraits, the subjects ranging from seemingly normal to deeply disturbing depending on his mood at the time of painting. It's a fine creative outlet to tide him over, and he'll occasionally take commissions for small things, but it just doesn't hold a candle to his true passion.

Shin doesn't suffer from horror hunger anymore, but he did end up acquiring a taste for vegetables because of it. Not that he has any qualms with eating meat, he just got too used to the herbivore life. Occasionally he'll try to eat a live plant out of habit, but he is content with normal food most of the time.

Physical Changes

After everything that's happened, Shin is painfully aware he's missing at least half of his soul. While this is alarming as an In-Birth, one who survived a Void attack with their sanity in tact and got supernatural powers in return, but for a while he was suffering through a partial transformation into a Void himself. While it's a blessing that condition was mostly reversed with the closing of the Hollow Night, what are the chances his past will haunt him again?

We'll describe some of his physical state in Twilight and much of his time in the Day for the sake of reference. Like most of those unfortunate enough to get trapped in Twilight, Shin had a crest where he was fatally stabbed. The appearance of the crest varied from person to person; In Shin's case, it looked a lot like someone smashed his body in and it cracked like fine pottery. The crest was very dark in Twilight, but started to fade once he made it to the Day.

More concerning to him and others were the signs of his transformation. The most obvious trait was a pair of webbed frills growing out from his elbows, semi translucent and dark blue/purple in color. They weren't too useful for flight, and he had to keep them moisturized if he didn't want them to dry out and crack painfully. A rather inconvenient addition, but he could easily hide them under his oversized sleeves if he needed to.

The most mentally scarring aspect of his curse was the hunger. He was plagued with a ravenous appetite normal food could not satisfy. His body craved life energy known as EXs, which meant he had to constantly feed on living beings... Not that there were too many of those in Twilight and he was being monitored by Wagner and his peers, which drove him to develop a habit of eating live plants. Yep, you read that right. Any plant that was even remotely edible, even from bushes and weeds. If he ever had to suffer through something like that again, he'd immediately assume the worst.

New Abilities
"KLADOS"

Shin is able to summon a doppelganger of himself at will. Although this ability should have gotten stronger upon the end of the Hollow Night and his escape from that world, Shin willingly limits himself for fear of losing what's left of his humanity.

As such, the limits of his powers are much like how they were in game:

  • He only summons one doppelganger at a time.
  • The doppelganger is limited to 3 basic movements/commands. Shin could tell it to light a fire in the church, talk about art, and do the dishes... Then that's all it will do for the duration of the summoning. It has no personality or will of its own, like a soulless doll. This shortcoming is the other main reason why Shin doesn't care for his power at all.
  • The doppelganger can't be poisoned, but it can be physically wounded... Once. Upon receiving damage the doppelganger disintegrates into a pile of sludge with similar consistency to paint. Like, someone took Shin's color pallete, dumped it into a bucket, and spilled it.
  • He limits himself to 3 summons/unsummons a day, and he will only allow the doppelganger to exist for three hours in a single 24 hour period... Though he is more than capable of letting it exist for longer periods of time if he must.
  • The summoning requires line of sight. Pretty useful if he gets cornered... Not so much if he gets blindfolded.

    THE VESSEL

    As an In-Birth, Shin's body is more like a EXs storage vessel that functions like a human body. It's stronger and more durable than an average human's which means he has cockroach powers like a certian eyeball-obsessed weirdo from his canon, but if his vessel is pierced he will be momentarily immobilized. If the vessel is outright broken (I.E. he takes too much damage) he will be be stuck in a Zero State, which pretty much means forcibly brought back down to normal.

    Shin doesn't know he has this trait. Yet.

    EXs SENSING

    As an In-Birth, Shin is better at sensing EXs in living things. He isn't quite sure what to make of this.

  • Timeline
    Night
  • Shin gets kidnapped by a demon in the middle of leading Eddie to the chapel and gets experimented on in another world. No clue how long this took, but he got bitten by Manifestations and got powers from it.

  • Shin wakes up in Krakow and guess what there's a fucking murdergame.

  • Shin goes to the Lady to try and pitch his furniture to her, but she doesn't want it. She says he can do his thing as long as she keeps the brains.

  • Shin tries out his power and boy did he get the power to summon a soulless puppet that looks like him. People walk in on him traumatizing himself.

  • MOTIVE ONE was hostage because of course it is. BORING.

  • Shin's contributions to the first case were drawing better dead person diagrams than Rembrandt and having to reveal his powers. Hyoubu dies smiling as he gets shot in the head.

  • We got art studio on week two so of course Shin decides to go here. He finds some weird art of blue eyed things running around. Neat! Guess he'll paint the dead people b/c memorial paintings.

  • Two more people die because of the lady, and Shin ends up just painting everyone in advance. It takes him all week. He has to send the dumb clone to Cumore's for shampoo.

  • Winds up sleeping through investigation 2 but hey we got the culprit at the last minute. RIP Suzaku. Also Saeleth took the hint so he has back spikes now, neat.

  • Shin finishes up with paintings on the third week.

  • Third week's motive, take powers home with you? Shin's not entirely sure about that but he wants to do some proper murder now.

  • Lights suddenly come on in the museum, and the t rex is roaring morse code at us. Shin is kind of freaked out by the fact the dead are still around!

  • Shin goes and gets Olivert drunk in the Jazz Bar. Sirius walks in, Shin tricks Sirius into killing Olivert through energy drain. Then Shin gets Sirius to carry Olivert to the opera house kitchen where the dumb clone jumps him. There's a fight, the clone goes splat, and Shin manages to finish Sirius off by slitting his throat. Both bodies are stored in the fridge and Shin gets another clone to clean up the kitchen while he goes to hide the other evidence. Including writing his finding with the Lady on Olivert's hint, shredding it up, and scattering it to the winds.

  • Investigation time, and OH DEAR GOD WHY DID THE CLONE MIX CHEMICALS?! SHIN CAN'T TAKE THE CHLORINE SMELL AUGH

  • The others figured him out too quickly, so when the Lady gives the hint he goes "SCREW IT, LET'S SEE WHAT SHE'LL DO TO A MAN WHO'S GONNA DIE!" Throws the trial, reveals he loves making horrible furniture art that freaks everyone out, and challenges the Lady to kill him herself. This ends in her stabbing him in the chest and throwing him to the manifestations in the audience...

    Twilight

  • The next thing Shin knows, he's waking up in the Twilight with fins on his arms and a very angry knight girl trying to obliterate him. Shin has no idea what's going on, but she hurls a fireball at him... And misses... Hitting Noelle instead... And Noelle explodes. Shin's horrified by this sight, but at least the knight girl decides not to try killing anyone else. She does inform him he's now missing half his soul and closer to becoming a manifestation himself...

  • Shin does not take the news well. He holes himself in the art studio after his encounter with oujou-chan and starts drawing some rather disturbing vent art. Hyoubu walks in while Shin is taking a nap to steal some pens, but he wakes the artist up and they end up having a conversation... And actually, Hyoubu's words resonate with Shin. He's starting to regret killing his brother... But moving on with his life sounds like a better plan, in the end.

  • Unfortunate side affect to fins: Shin now has a hunger that food cannot satisfy. He resorts to eating the live plants, which actually fill him up a little better oh no. Also, Hyoubu is still a spiteful brat.

  • Turns out the reason the museum and McDonalds got power was because the dead solved fuse box puzzles. Shin helps everyone to power the arcade so they can talk through the racing game... And Shin finds out the Lady isn't even in her own body. Among other things.

  • After getting caught feasting in a greenhouse, Shin decides to start another project: Painting two portraits of himself and his brother with flowers growing from their injuries.

  • Olivert unlocked the spa so spa time with grandpa while they heckle the next trial.

  • Shin finds a thing in the boutique, then gets visited by Suzaku. As he has been on a regular basis because lizards need to be monitored.

  • Shin runs into Ulquiorra. It doesn't go too well.

  • Shin goes to investigate the art gallery, but runs into Hyoubu and Ulquiorra investigating... Whatever this is. Then this happens.

  • Oujou-chan meeting! Twilight is about to collapse and take everyone down with it. Shin is very worried about dying here, and everyone starts throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what can be done from this side.

  • Auto Shop puzzle. The dead go light the football field to yell through the marquee. They also powered the gym since no one wanted Shin to have an art studio with electricity.

  • Shin helps explore the Hotel.

  • Olivert decides it's party time! Shin ends up ruining Hot or Not with his gross hobbies.

  • The party turns into a trial popcorn because someone decided to hold a trial at two in the morning. Pizza suggests a drinking game, which turns out to be a terrible idea because horror hunger plus booze equals Shin getting drunk rather quickly. Shin doesn't remember exactly what happened next but he got really upset at one point before storming off and falling asleep on a massage bed.

  • The next "morning," Hyoubu goes to relay some news while Shin is recovering from his hangover. Something the Lady did to the Night might help them, so Shin suggests everyone split up and search for clues.

  • After a long day of exploring, Hyoubu and Elliot find a picture in the hotel's magazine: A Town Square that's a bit different from what they're used to. Everyone goes looking around for differences, Shin included. As he's trying not to eat the trees, Shin notices the lamp posts are buzzing with a strange energy inside the bulbs- An energy the manifestation part of him forces him to consume. It doesn't take long for Shin to realize the lamp posts contain what he thinks are souls! But Ulquiorra says it's spiritual energy. Hard to tell, he's never had to eat it before. Either way, they're saved.

  • Shin spends the next two days relaying info through the McDonald's drive thru and chilling in the art studio. The Twilight is in horrible shape, but luckily Ouji-chan is able to corall everyone and take them to...

    Day

  • Wagner properly introduces herself and starts explaining her world, but it's not over yet. Everyone is 75% restored, so they're in a quarantine zone. Now it's up to the living to stop the Lady, whether the dead like it or not... At least Shin isn't that hungry here, even if he still has fins.

  • The uncertianty about the future drives Shin to visit the church, where he bonds with Ango over a terrible secret.

  • Shin spends much of the day drawn to a vision fire in the main square. He has to pull himself away for a moment, but then he returns to... Whatever this is. Turns out the lady's a mad scientist trying to take over the world and Rembrandt is a literal demon. Somehow, the living manage to kill the lady and Erik makes a contract with the demon, and this all works out.

  • The demon ends the Night, and Shin finally loses the lizard bits. He's not sure what he's gonna do with his new powers, but after talking to other people here he'll go back to his world and try to get back to what he was doing... Eddie probably saw Shin getting kidnapped, so maybe things might be easier to explain?

    Captives and Captors, according to Shin
    "I'm not good at figuring complicated things out. And if I make someone happy, then it wasn't a waste."
    Died
    Name: Pizza
    Canon: Food Fantasy
    Distinguishing Features : Smells like pepperoni pizza??? Has dark blue tendrills sprouting from his chest.
    Notes: Died after a rather unsuccessful attempt to fight the blue eyed creatures. Poor thing... Though I suppose it was a good thing he was the only other person dealing with that dreadful curse.
    "...it looks too nice to be Brockton Bay...thank god."
    DEAD.
    Name: Noelle Meinhardt
    Canon: Worm
    Distinguishing Features : Very young, possibly late teens?
    Notes: Died after being invited to the castle with Mako. Died again from a misdirected firebolt from Twilight's resident knight templar.
    Note to self, grevious injury to anyone trapped in Twilight will cause the injured to explode into nothingness.
    "Of course. It was their way of establishing power."
    Died
    Name: Ulquiorra Cifer
    Canon: Bleach
    Distinguishing Features : Pale complexion... Black facial markings... Bony protrusions... Inhuman.
    Notes: A being called an Espada who has no empathy whatsoever. I really mustn't get too involved with him if all our talks keep ending in bitter arguments.
    "If it's a massacre you want, why do you even need rules, huh?"
    Alive
    Name: Zangetsu
    Canon: Bleach
    Distinguishing Features : Resembles a white demon. I'm not sure if I should be excited or worried.
    Notes: Rather annoying, but he must have been doing something right.
    "Fine. I won't jump through the window."
    Alive
    Name: Dazai Osamu
    Canon: Bungou Stray Dogs
    Distinguishing Features : Slim... Unkempt hair... Covered in bandages that he doesn't need.
    Notes: A strange man. Usually acts like an idiot, but has bouts of insight. I know he's probably more intelligent than he lets on.
    "That is quite gracious of you to offer such a reward, but how would I kill anyone here without a weapon?"
    Died
    Name: Ango Sakaguchi
    Canon: Bungou Stray Dogs
    Distinguishing Features : Has a mole on his upper lip, right side of the face.
    Notes: A stern figure with a taste for bookkeeping. He's a friend of Dazai's. Such a close friend, in fact, that he would do anything to keep his secrets from ruining it.

    I think I must be the only person who knows what happened with him, and I think it's a shame he puts all the blame for that on himself. It's not fair how many people hate him for being so selfish.

    "Risking my life to keep the rest safe is my job."
    Died
    Name: Suzaku Kururugi
    Canon: Code Geass
    Notes: Apperently he was "geassed" to live, which made him a murderer. As ironic as that is, the boy still has his morals... I think he might have been the most concerned with those out of everyone who died.

    He had given himself the task of keeping an eye on me in case I completely lost myself. Not that I complained too much... I enjoy the company he kept.

    "Playing God will serve you badly in the end."
    Alive
    Name: Teru Mikami
    Canon: Death Note
    Distinguishing Features : Long, dark hair... Clearly hasn't groomed it in a while.
    Notes: A man with strict morals who failed himself in many ways. I'm suprised he managed to stay alive, but I also wonder how much he sacrificed to stay sane after everything he must have done.
    "Well, that is worrying. I have no recollection of being accused of another crime, or of anyone using a Zoi on me."
    Died
    Name: Sirius
    Canon: Dogbody
    Distinguishing Features : Incredibly tall, green complexion... Beautiful wings... A strange, otherworldly presence.
    Notes: Some sort of otherworldly being... Who somehow manages to be one of the more reasonable people in our group.
    ". . . "
    Died
    Name: Yuzuru Fushimi
    Canon: Ensemble Stars
    Distinguishing Features : Another average looking teenager.
    Notes: I barely spoke to him, but he must have stumbled upon some horrible secret.
    ". . . "
    Died
    Name: Ignis Scientia
    Canon: Final Fantasy XV
    Distinguishing Features : Scarring on the right side of his face.
    Notes: Somehow managed to make ice and blood explode. Thank you, Ulquiorra.
    "Oh well, I suppose that means she isn't expecting any of us to actually show her any respect."
    Alive
    Name: Iago
    Canon: Fire Emblem: Fates
    Distinguishing Features : Pale... Long hair... Left eye covered by mask.
    Notes: I never got to see what he was hiding under that mask, but he and Dist became rather close. The man is a cunning tactician, which was a boon when he and the living confronted Lucrezia.
    "So I am going to ask: what do you expect to get out of this situation?"
    Died
    Name: Lysithea von Ordelia
    Canon: Fire Emblem: Fates
    Distinguishing Features : White hair, pale skin, pink eyes... Albino?
    Notes: Barely spoke to her.
    "We are in the midst of a war back home, so I would hope that everyone is being vigilant.."
    Alive
    Name: Seteth
    Canon: Fire Emblem: Fates
    Distinguishing Features : Green hair, spikes growing from his back.
    Notes: A noble man willing to take the fall for the others. It's a wonder he survived to the very end.
    "..."
    Died
    Name: Mako
    Canon: Legend of Korra
    Notes: Died after the Lady invited him and Noelle to her castle.
    "Two healers working together is better than one, right?"
    Died
    Name: Alfyn Greengrass
    Canon: Octopath Traveler
    Notes: Somewhat naive, but has healing experience. I still have to wonder if he would have been useful on the living side...

    Probably not.

    "Don't get your hopes up."
    Alive
    Name: Raven Branwen
    Canon: RWBY
    Distinguishing Features : Striking red eyes.
    Notes: A serious woman with a dry sense of humor. I have a feeling she never trusted me.
    "You're conveniently not giving enough information to put the full scope of my deductive genius on display."
    Died
    Name: Dist the Rose
    Canon: Tales of the Abyss
    Distinguishing Features : Another potential albino.
    Notes: Has a tendency to get worked up over the smallest annoyances. Apperently, his presence was so valuable a good number of people were upset by his death... Including Lucrezia, of all people!

    It's a blessing we managed to save ourselves from oblivion. Otherwise, I don't know what lengths Iago would have gone to.

    "I don't know about you, but I intend to be alive at the end of things."
    Alive
    Name: Alexander von Cumore
    Canon: Tales of Vesperia
    Distinguishing Features : Long, blue hair. Looks feminine.
    Notes: Rather petty, but can be useful. Probably the only person who appreciates my work! He somehow managed to secure Mikami as a follower of sorts.
    "I'd like to hear how you're going to make it worth my time."
    Alive
    Name: Rideaux Zek Rugievit
    Canon: Tales of Xillia 2
    Distinguishing Features : Black and white hair....
    Notes: Some sort of doctor? He dresses rather flamboyantly for a physician, and has a tendency to take matters into his own hands. I might be a bit jealous, but someone had to deal the final blow and I wasn't able to.
    "I've not at all practiced my brooding gaze, so I wouldn't be any good at it anyway."
    Died
    Name: Elliot Schafer
    Canon: In Other Lands
    Distinguishing Features : Aburn hair and freckles. Hallmarks of what most would call a "Ginger."
    Notes: Managed to goad people into giving him what he wanted... Actually, this boy was rather annoying!
    "I'm not too interested in holding show and tell here, but there's no harm in saying "yes.""
    Alive
    Name: Erik
    Canon: Dragon Quest XI
    Notes: Somehow managed to save everyone from the Night by making a contract with the demon. I doubt that will help him in the long run, but that's something for him to deal with.
    "Quite the tale, isn't it?"
    Died
    Name: Olivert Reise Arnor
    Canon: Trails of Cold Steel
    Notes: This man is either very suspicious, or incredibly stupid. Either way, he did have a knack for lifting people's spirits... And drink, as I had the pleasure of finding out.
    "You won't get away with this."

    Name: Rean Schwarzer
    Canon: Trails of Cold Steel
    Distinguishing Features : Blue hair. Of course.
    Notes: One of the more sensible surivors...
    "Besides, if you had to snatch up anyone from my world, it's probably best it was me."

    Name: Takashi Shirogane
    Canon: Voltron
    Distinguishing Features : Missing an arm, prematurely graying hair.
    Notes: I don't think I spoke to this one much, but he survived.
    "Why did you bother listening to some man you just met?"
    Died
    Name: Hyoubu Kyousuke
    Canon: Zettai Karen Children/The Unlimited
    Distinguishing Features : Absurdly youthful for an 85 year old. Has a scar on his forehead from getting shot.
    Notes: I can't make heads or tails of this man. On one hand, he's still a nusiance to society. On the other hand, he has the experience of old age and at least some wisdom I wish we heard long ago.

    We never truly saw eye to eye, but he has left some impact. It's a shame he never appreciated my work and behaved so antagonistically twoard me... But I hope we'll never meet again. Not with all his powers restored. Really, who uses a death threat to say goodbye?

    "If people's actions don't affect your plans considerably, you win."
    DEAD.
    Name: Lucrezia
    Canon: Girl Genius
    Distinguishing Features : Long, blonde hair; Emerald eye; Left eye covered by a mask. Not using her original body.
    Notes: A cruel mistress who wants us to kill to further her goals. A cowardly sadist who I won't forgive. Yes, I realize I made a bad deal and tried to play nice with her, but would I have made those choices if she hadn't hidden from me and let me collaborate with her?
    Perhaps I still liked her work ethic and beauty. She would have made a splendid vanity if I could only have my way with her.
    "Is that an order?"
    Alive
    Name: "𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐣𝐞𝐫"
    Canon: Black Butler
    Distinguishing Features : Tall; uncombed copper hair His true form is so strange and horrible I refuse to describe it here.
    Notes: So devils do exist and walk the earth... This particular one has a habit of offering faustian contracts; he provides the sun and moon until his master's goal has been reached in exchange for said master's soul. I don't know why he agreed to serve Lucrezia if she was like the masters he served before her, but I do feel somewhat greatful he accepted her soul upon her death.

    Still, I wonder if we'll end up crossing paths again. After all, he will devour Erik's soul eventually.

    Alive
    Name: Miyashiro Erika Wagner
    Canon: Under Night In-Birth
    Distinguishing Features : Young. Blond hair kept in curls. Eyes that burn like the sun. Skin as white as snow.
    Notes: A knight of some order who didn't trust me at all. As a whole, she eventually got over her suspicions enough to help us... But I have a feeling she would have had me killed if the night didn't somehow reverse the transformation. She knows more about the world we were trapped in than anyone else here, but should I ask someone who tried to obliterate me on first sight for information?
