Akira's not the only way I could figure it out. [ she shrugs, and it comes out in her tone. ]
Though I'm surprised you're not dying to gloat about what you did. Isn't that what stupid melodramatic villains pretending to be heroes love doing?

[ a beat. ]
Demon slayer. [ she can't believe she missed that bit of lore. what. ] Wait, really?

[ she's quiet for a moment. ]
I think you'd like that to be true. [ a short, frustrated sigh. ] But there wouldn't be so many good people trying to stand up for you if you were.

[ he nods, even though she can't see it. ]
All three of us are! Nezuko isn't part of the Demon Slayer Corps, but Inosuke is. He's the wild boar. We all passed Final Selection at the same time. Somehow.

Wait, the wild boar is a person? [ ??? this only brings more questions ] What's the Final Selection?
I - man, I really should've asked you more questions in the House, huh.

[ that first part makes her snort in amusement, but. ]
I don't know how, I just wondered if he'd somehow gotten a message to you. I'm sure he's fine.

[ inosuke is a wild boar. it's very straightforward. ]
Final Selection is the exam you take to become a demon slayer! This year, there were five survivors. Since I was lucky enough to survive, I can answer any question you might have now, so don't worry about that!

Truly, the inability to erase human memories is quite the security hazard.
[ drolly flippant. ]
The good news: on the right track, at least. The bad: turns out this goes even deeper than previously thought, nevermind the new faction in play who's suddenly decided to make their presence known.

That's good, because I have a fuckton of them.
... How old are you again?
... How old are you again?
I hope he can manage to make it out to do that.
[ a pause, and then: ]
What about you? Are you doing okay?
[ a pause, and then: ]

[ hah! ]
Oh, please. I don't have to know what your favorite color is to know that you cover up all that shit that hurts you on the inside with pretentiousness and a shitty attitude.

[ a long pause, then a breathless sort of laugh. which, hm, she doesn't really need to breathe? ]
No one's dying, and we're not being put into impossible situations against ridiculous odds and numbers and being asked to produce miracles for once.
I would say that puts the current situation somewhere solidly 'above average.' ... Oh, and we're currently in a safehouse in the green zone, so on the off chance anyone just happened to show up out of the blue, they don't have to worry about any chances of ELID infection.

I fuckin' dare you to find someone who would describe me as pretentious, dude.
[ she gives an unconcerned sniff. ] Anyway. It's not projecting. But I can relate.

That's not as young as I thought you were. [ beau that's not something you tell him ]
That's good, I guess, but still. You're kind of young to be killing shit like demons. Wait, five survivors out of how many people?

[ how old did she think he was . . . he wonders this for all of two seconds before recalling the crowd of demon slayer candidates. ]
Most of the candidates were around my age. I think there were about thirty of us when we started.

There were - thirty kids and only five made it?! [ UM??? ]
