I, for some reason, always forget how hard bloodstains can be to get out.

It seems that my short term trip into Obol was not wasted. I managed to pick up two monsters with bounties on their head. So I have some extra money for bullets now. Marvelous. And I managed to return just in time. My dear brother returned so quickly, he barely even missed a beat.

I'm so happy to see him again.
Happy enough to indulge you in a trip to Chalkoi, Claire.

Also if there is anything you wish to know about your past here, I'll even indulge you in that.

I'm probably staying out for the night though, Greed. I have a feeling I will not be immediately needed at home.

You. Will. Pay. You know who you are. Consequences, you will pay for them, and I do not just mean your privileges. The trip into that dungeon was much more enjoyable the second time.

Someone very important is here. Someone... yes. She knows the truth. She knows what he is. She knows what being torn apart feels like. Torn apart by a rabid dog who always seems to rebel. Biting the hand that feeds can be a dangerous hobby. Do you want to starve?

I still wish I had seen it. If only what I have no would have been something that existed then. No, these eyes did not see the way he crumbled on top of a pile of corpses and blood. What a beautiful thing. A sight for sore eyes, I'm sure. But I would have loved it.

It is almost worthy of poetry. A sonnet on his misery, carved into his flesh. A poem for those who he has killed, and those he destroyed. It could be a wonderful work of poetry! A shame I'm not much of an artist, I would adore to do a painting. I hardly count scribbling the words "Mine" and "Die" on the side of buildings terribly suiting. Ah, as you may have guessed, as far as I'm concerned, they are permanent unless someone else wishes to clean them up. I have no intention to. I think they are lovely.

I am no longer a sole survivor of this. A barely beating heart and flesh left waiting to be rebuilt. I have someone to share this with again. I had been the only one for so long. I must, must see her.

Lily. Such... a word. It is almost like a foul language to desperate ears. Blood stained, white hands, knowing his sin -- to know what he had done! I bet you are proud, Heine! So terribly proud! No, no! We must play soon. No excuses. And even if you deny it, I will find you. And we will play.

The creatures here are barely satisfactory.

That child was barely satisfactory. And it is against my recommendation to do that again. Lest I be forced to actually want to kill you. How fortunate I find mortal bodies to be little entertainment.

A good few days indeed.

Greed, do tell me you have no plans tonight. Or I will force you to cancel them.

Damn it, Heine. If I think something is unsettling, chances are you're not going to walk away from it sane. Tsk, tsk, pet, bad. Terrible thing, walking into it like that.

Does anyone else feel watched around home? Constantly. My reaction speed is extremely high, and I can only catch a glimpse. I tried to shoot one when I caught it, but it moved too quickly. It isn't gone, I can feel it now.

But I believe they are not aggressive, what creature wouldn't take the defense when it is being repeatedly threatened as I have done to it.

Stay out of my house now, would you. Voyeuristic creatures. I wonder if they watch when -- ... ...I wonder if such a creature is interested in that.

I do not like being watched, I do not like Greed being watched. Nor Luki and Noki. Or Anemone and Dominic. Or Soma. Or Wrath. It is as though every moving second has become a show. They are mine.

Greed.

I believe we need to expand.

There are nearby buildings that could be of use.

Five more days until I have been here a month.
Heine. That is not terribly long.
You are well, big brother?
