They would whisper behind his back.

Some would say he was evil.

"Stay away from Izaya Orihara."

He didn't think he was evil. He did have to admit, he wasn't kindness personified, but how did that matter anyway.

Some would say he was insane.

"Stay away from Izaya Orihara."

He wouldn't really say he was insane. He would rather call it a healthy deviation from the norm, but how did that matter anyway.

Some would say he was heartless.

"Stay away from Izaya Orihara."

He would definitely not call it heartless. How could he be heartless? He loved humankind! He loved how they struggled, day by day, trying to give their worthless little lives a sense. It was fun to see them suffer, cry laugh talk fight live oh he loved it! How could anyone dare to call him heartless?

But how did that matter anyway. In the end, they were all small, helpless, worthless.

"Stay away from Izaya Orihara."

Ah yeah. Humans always managed to make him laugh.

„Stay away from Izaya Orihara."

„…away…"

„Stay away from Izaya Orihara."

„…Izaya…"

„IZAYA ORIHARA!"
