Marie wakes up " you... Saved me. Except.... I feel... Different... "

Deo : omedeto. You're my first patient to undergo a surgery to become yokai from human.

Marie ; what... ? Yokai ?

Deo ; not sure about what abilities you have... You've got to discover that on yourself.

Marie : what are you talking about?!!

" Right. Beginner's guide." Deo makes a bubble of water float in his hand " I'm a water user. You've got to explore yours. "

Marie : monster... That's what you meant.

Arina came out " hey ! Looking good. Quick update. You're dead. You don't exist as a human. You're not human. You're going back with us to the demon realm. "

Marie : what do you mean ?!! I still have a job !! As a doctor in a hospital!!!

Arina: no longer human. No human job.

Marie ; how about Gail ?!! My kid !!

Arina : we'll help you smuggle him in. There's no school there though. So...~~ I guess you can leave him here . He can stay here , go to his usual school and have his usual friends. We'll do the basics for him.

Marie: so I can't visit him ?

Arina : ugh. The dumb things I do for ingrates.

Deo : cos you're stupidly kind.

Arina : you can visit him. Twice a year. That's as best as it goes.

Marie : .... Ok... Ok...

Kurama sits on the lift and it goes to the top floor. The lift door opens and he walks into the floor. One big entire floor dedicated to one yokai.

" Kurama. Nice to meet you. I'm the director of Shiori Research. The white tall building that you've expanded so near to. Revson. "

Kurama : one very tall building indeed

Kurama : one very tall building indeed.

Revson ; unlike yours. Not very tall, but quite determined in expanding horizontally for some reason.

Kurama: you go up, I go sideways. Sounds like we have an agreement.

Revson: you sound angry.

Kurama: angry ? No.

Revson : please. You think I hurt your wife badly the other time. This is revenge for you.

Kurama : revenge is only plausible if you did it. Did you ?

Revson :  I see where you're going. How far do you want to go ?

Kurama : now I've got your attention. I don't know. Just watch out. Good day. Revson. *Leaves*
