XLVIII → Creatures Here Below

[one_that_leads]

All of it gone.
Wings, senses, aura.
None of it.

Even that sense.

The same shape the one he gave me, but changed.
Completely.
Is it the same?
It is the same.

I wore this as a disguise once, as a "wolf in sheep's clothing."
That time before.

But that was a disguise.
And this, this is entirely different.

So this is how it feels to be a human.

A curse?
Is that how you will call humanity?

[one_that_leads]

No.

What's caused this is just a curse.

Humanity is not a curse.

[againstgod]

Enjoy this day.
Treasure its weakness and its strengths.

[one_that_leads]

I will try.

[sciencedaughter]

You have never seemed a wolf to me.

Perhaps I am not observant enough.

[one_that_leads]

It was something that happened.
Something I did.

A long time ago.

[sciencedaughter]

I see. Such things occur.

[one_that_leads]

Yes.
It was a necessary act.
It will not be in vain.

Strange, though, to find myself a human like this.
After everything that's happened.

[mottoaiokomete]

Enjoying~?

[one_that_leads]

Perhaps.

[mottoaiokomete]

Humanity~. Tsk-tsk. To have the body susceptible to illness. Can you feel it? Each cell of your body slowly dying as minutes tick by . . . each second bringing you closer to death.

[one_that_leads]

Which makes the life all the more precious.
