''                I should be writing this entry at morning and not night, but my thoughts are too jumbled from what I just discovered a few hours earlier. Sleep won’t come either, making this night like the usual. The innumerable night without sleep.''

''                Anyways, Miss Rachel told us at lunch of a new member. First thought was ‘oh, damn, another?’. Honestly, I don’t mind Blood having new members, but Kouzuki and Kamui… They’re too innocent for something like this. Too pure. I don’t hate them for it, but I personally think their ‘light’ has no place in this hellhole that is the front lines. ''

''                Imagine my shock when I saw a face I haven’t seen for 11 years, the empty 3 included. Gilbert McLaine, my childhood friend, my first ‘handler’. He had aged up nicely, nothing like the dressed up, cultured boy who punched me in the face and made me back down. I hate that hauntingly familiar look in his eyes though. Like he’s seen something what I had. ''

''                Then he told me about the orphanage. He told me it was attacked by Aragami just two months ago. How Mother Elizabeth died protecting the children there. How the place was burned down. ''

''                I don’t like remembering the people who broke me there, but then again, the orphanage was my first home, and it was Mother Elizabeth who gave me a roof over my head and food in my stomach. I owe her as much I owe Gil, Julius, Miss Rachel and Leah. Mother Elizabeth and I weren’t close, but I won’t be forgetting what she did. It hurt that she’s gone, and it hurt that children were victims as well.''

''                Children as victims of this cruel world… It’s becoming too common. I hate it.''

''                Right now, I’m aboard the helicopter en route to the main Fenrir Base here in the Far East, where I’ll be meeting my companion for the ‘delegate exchange’, where we’ll be sent to another Branch. Glasgow specifically called for Far East to visit them, from what Leah told me. More likely to talk about the God Eater transfer. Just my luck, then. I can visit whatever’s left of my past there in Glasgow.''

Ryuuka,
