"I apologize for the burden we must be bringing upon you, Death," Adeline said in a solemn manner. "I am sure the resolution is within reach, but we're not quite ready to grasp it yet. If you wish to wait on account of your injuries, the air we have should last us awhile as long as things remain idle."<br/><br/>As she spoke to Death, she could overhear the conversation between Hatsu and Sam. It seemed that the young boy's play diverged heavily from her's. The conditions he endured were similar to the events of the present. Perhaps that explains why he managed to get a grasp on his powers faster than the other hunters, like the events Adeline had "Witnessed" on her first day meeting the group. The calamity must have had a lesser effect on his psyche compared to his peers, as nothing really changed at all for him.<br/><br/>The thought process cut her off from her talk with Death, realizing that her ability to multitask dulled heavily in the last few hours. "I suppose the earlier the better, if we wish to remain inconspicuous. It'll be quieter if I am not required to rush vast quantities of air inside like last time. Though it's your call what you wish to make of the situation at hand."<br/><br/>-----------<br/><br/>The faint rustling of debris was the only sound that could be heard in the barren outskirts of what once was a city. Blood seemed to ooze out of the pile of rubble, as if futilely searching for any sign of light in the ash laden sky. The debris was beginning to unsettle even more, shifting ever so slightly. This event was interrupted by a huge red geyser shooting the rubble into the air and scattering it about. A crimson silhouette rose from the ashes of the city, it's mangled corpse laughing maniacally.<br/><br/>"This is where the game really begins!" the disturbed man chortled. "If they wish to play hide 'n seek, then I'll just tear down everything!" His finger was raised to the only thing left standing, the large citadel that towered above the crater surrounding it. "Sam and I will need a throne to rule our kingdom. I'll be sure to decorate the walls with your blood..."<br/><br/>The bloodied mass that was Levin ambled slowly forward, as it screamed one last name into the wasteland in a voice that was not of his own,<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"LUCIFER!"</span>
