...He was, if rather. Passive.

[this is so mean the man is dead.]

Well. Pull yourself together. We don't even know exactly what this means. We were already all dead.

[This is so mean to Hunter, but Akira NODS in AGREEMENT. No foul in being passive, but Hunter will have to own it.]

I'm fine.

[Hopefully the tears will stop eventually. He's pouring one out for Hunter. Symbolically.]

Did you talk to the demons?

[outsidebones]

They won't answer messages. Useless as ever.

[tearduct]

The phone wouldn't go through to them last night either. But I meant... before.

[He glances away.]

They said everyone here is up for invitation. To Satan's party. [He looks back.] If we impress him.

[outsidebones]

Ah, yes. I've spoken with them about this. Did they elaborate, to you, in any useful way, what it means to impress him?

Or is it your conclusion that someone believes murder would likely impress?

[tearduct]

No. They wouldn’t say what he liked. Just to be entertaining.

…I didn’t think about that. [His brain is small and soft.] I thought only one person could be the winner since it was a contest, but they asked me who said that. So maybe more could be.
