Hold on for one more day

[Alva Ren]

I think so...
I tried telling you earlier, I blacked out and when I woke up I was covered in someone's blood

And this new mark was here on my arm too

[Shimizu Susumu]

Are they alive?

[Alva Ren]

I don't know

[Shimizu Susumu]

Where were you?

[Alva Ren]

Downtown
Near the brothel that's all over the news

I heard gunshots and I tried to get in the back way, to see if I could help, and... that's where my memories end. I woke up in the old park at the edge of town.

[Shimizu Susumu]

Now the question is whether they used you against hunters or against--

No, it was definitely against a hunter. It must have been your close proximity to the fight and the curse made you an easy target.

[Alva Ren]

Even if it was a hunter
I

I've never killed anyone before

[Shimizu Susumu]

And you still didn't. That was somebody else.

[Alva Ren]

But they used me
My body, my hands

It's still me, I'm responsible

[Shimizu Susumu]

No, they used your body as a tool but that doesn't make you responsible.

[Alva Ren]

I still feel responsible

Someone could be dead because of me, Susu

[Shimizu Susumu]

I'll look into it.
The mark though, does it look the same as mine? Or different?
It must be different if you noticed it.

[Alva Ren]

It's different

I'll take a picture, wait a second

—>Attachment<—

[Shimizu Susumu]

The good news is you are no longer being drained by my curse.
The bad news is that somebody is able to control you at will whenever they want.

[Alva Ren]

...I figured that out on my own already

And you told me that earlier

Are you feeling okay? Did this affect you too?
