Oh. They did also tell me that in the almost two months before the party they're going to spend that time reminding us of all our shortcomings and bringing our worst nightmares to life. So.
Human. [he taps his finger on his forehead, drawing a line across it] With a stigmata. A line of cross-shaped scars on their foreheads. But they can hide that part easy.
I dunno the exact story. All I know is that they used to be just like you and me, and then they woke up with memories of a thousand year old being. Kinda like waking up with years worth of trauma that isn't yours, but now it's in you, so it becomes you.
It's not their fault, but the line gets blurry real fast when you start thinking that way.
...I have a friend. He's got the power to exorcise those memories only -- leaving the human alive. He's the only one who can, which makes him the only one who can save them.

Whoa... That must make it complicated. Did they act like people, too?
no subject
...They probably don't think so, but they were human once. They care about each other and hate the people that hurt them -- just like humans do.
no subject
[a pause.]
That's... actually pretty sad.
no subject
You think so?
[rather than sounding dismissive or upset, lavi just sounds encouraging, like he's waiting for an explanation.]
no subject
[a pause]
What happened to them, that they went from being human to that?
