Then tell me.

There is no one here who cares more about your fate than I, Zero, even if you choose to hate me. I am bound to watch over all non-human creatures.

Even those that were once human.

[ 'tch. And suddenly, in ways, Eko reminds him of the one he hates more than anything. ]

And it's my fate to execute as many unruly bloodsuckers as I'm allowed.

What becomes of my life here is no one's business but my own.

[ patiently ]

You cannot kill me. There is only one who can, and he is not here.

Private.

If that's so true, then just leave me alone. But if you dare try anything, I don't care what your claims are, or what the rules are here. I'll kill you as many times as it takes.

[ So leave Caim the hell alone. >| ]

[ Frustrating. All of this. It's bad enough to have the atmosphere grating on his nerves. He goes to say something else, but decides not to. ]

If I 'dare try anything.'

How would you suggest I live, Zero? Without blood I will become even more of a danger when the hunger overwhelms my reason.

Private.

[ Bingo. ]

So that is what you have been using.

[ Just take this silence as a yes. Damn it. ]

[ soft ]

Do you wish me to do this, Zero?

Private.

[ Doesn't even know what to say anymore. So annoying. Murmured- ]

I don't even know if they'd work for you.

Private.

That is true. I am, after all, not truly a vampire.

The term is Mikura. This body was engineered to function with blood as its power source.

[ Silent for several long moments. ]

You can try them.

If it will please you, then I shall.

You may not agree with my actions, Zero, nor the grudge that I bear against humanity for their crimes. But in my city humans and non-humans lived in balance, strictly maintained by the goddess that watched over us all, and I was their guardian for four centuries. In the ancient days it was humanity that required protection so as not to be overwhelmed by powerful youkai. In modern times it is the opposite, and the youkai are dying despite all efforts made to save them.

I have failed them.
