"Causing people emotional pain is sometimes part of my job. But I don't mind it. It brings me pleasure and satisfaction." I reply to the doctor.

"When did you first start doing this?" I ask.
((I have to go to bed, I'm sorry. We can finish this later.))

"It started when I started my job working for A.S.S. and then eventually the Ministry of Information. I was normal before then..."

"Funny you should mention that." Noe blinks a few times and rubs his jaw lightly. "My allies are unhappy that I've been so cooperative. They tell me that I'm being used. But I already knew that.
I was a little concered when they told me that the Ministries of War and Defense are both preparing seperate means to eliminate both me and the LIF, as we speak.
Something about giant robots, I believe. Honestly, Violet. Do you think we're going to try and rebel or something?"

Alister's naginata snags on a stone, and he loses his balance, collapsing to one knee, then eventually onto his side. His weapon hits the ground with a dull thud.
The tiger demon struggles to climb back to his knees, wondering if this is his fate, or if he even believes in fate. He grabs his naginata again, and pulls himself up, looking around to see if he was even walking in a straight line.
Alister continues his journey.

"We really don't know what the LIF wants. They say they want to protect humans...but then so do we. We strive protect humans from war, hunger, disease, and poverty. We see no reason to persecute non humans. All races are equal, all people are equal"

"And we disagree with that position, yes, we are directly oppossed. For the first time it becomes clear. You want to protect them." Noe shakes his head and smiles to himself, "That been the problem all along, I should have known, it's obvious really. And that is why we'll never get along. A shame."

I sigh.
"Of course. I thought from talking to me you understood what we wanted for this world. We really do have a strong vision of how things should be and will be. Even if things are not that way right now.."
"Your organization cares for humanity does it not? Is that not the reason you hunt vampires or demons or whatever else? It is a concern for humanity. That is my primary concern as well. I may not be a human in the strictest sense, but I was created to serve them."

"Our greatest wish is to protect human kind. All else we do is centered around that. All of us do things in our own way, but that is the goal. As with all things, we sometimes lose sight of the true goal as time goes on. We want to help humans as a race move forwards, but their politics are their own."

After marching for several more hours, Alister sees the line of trees, fading in front of him, and his body gives out. He collapses after losing so much blood, stumbling over his naginata, and tearing a sizeable gash into his palm in the process.
Alister's face is pressed hard against the soil, as though a foot were pushing down on the back of his skull. He strains his neck upwards, and sees that he's not too far from civilization.
He reaches his bloody hand forward, as though he could just reach it, and everything will be alright. His eye sight fades into darkness, and his hand falls to the ground with a dull thud.

"Politics is the machine used to generate the social changes, which in turn lead to human advancement. Politics is not the end, but surely a means."
I feel very tired and rub my eyes.

"And such is the concern of other people. The LIF was formed with the intention of avoiding the political world whenever possible." Noe sits down on the edge of the bed and runs his hands through his hair.

"We won't attack you unless you are foolish enough to attack us. You have to trust me. But, we will not stand by and be unprepared to face of an enemy that has been clandestine for centuries. All of our measures are preparitory, not aggressive."
My tone is softer.
"We won't attack you..." I try to reassure.
"Please don't leave..."

Noe sits up. "You give me your word? You, personally." Noe nods. "That is enough for me, I suppose. And it's as good an agreement as we can hope for."

"We have not attacked the LIF thus far, have we? I gave you our word we would not. I do not break pacts of non aggression. Not when there are too many other rebels who are more than eager to fight us."
I lay down on my bed and rest my head on my pillow.
"I am a person. I am someone real. Someone who has desires and personal ambitions. Someone who has their own voice. I am a mouthpiece for the party...but I am still an individual. So many times people forget that."
I let out a yawn.
"I need to rest. You can stay with me if you want to, I enjoy your company. You can also leave if you must, I am feeling tired. My days are always long..."
