Well... it's definitely not exactly the same, but I'm still trying to figure out what it is the Daitengu wants for me, you know? So far all my assignments have been to gather information, and a lot of that has been walking around at night, going to seedy places like this one—[they lower their voice as they say it, in case they offend someone even though they're sure that people will freely admit that this place is extremely seedy.]

And trying to learn everything I can about... well, everything I can. And that does have a lot to do with what goes on at night. But... [they don't really know why they feel uneasy about this. maybe it's because of how good a thing the night is for nazuna, or maybe it's because they're getting nostalgic about the ways that they used to be able to live. they gnaw at their lip instead of taking another drink.]

I'm not sure. Maybe that's how this place works. I know that it isn't how the NSO worked, and the philanthropy I did was almost round-the-clock, but it was just... all of it was different. Do you know what I mean? [they're not sure if they're saying it very clearly.] I... the way I want to live is something that needs to take place in the daylight. I think.

[they don't know that for certain. in fact, it goes against everything else they've said so far to insist that it all has to happen in the sunlight. the "i think" carries weight behind it, the same as that genuine question about what kind of place this city is.]
