Angela: Hello everyone. This is chapter four, well, it was supposed to be. Now it's chapter three. Haru's chapter is the hardest one to write, you know. So...Chapter three this is, meaning Hatori's chapter wil be pushed back by one so he is still five. This is Shigure. Have fun. Normal disclaimers apply, as usual.
They don't know, or understand.
Don't they?
No, they don't. I don't like using people the way I do. I don't want to hurt Tohru this way.
Then why do you?
It's the only way. The only way to end the curse we have. I want to be free, we all do.
Does it hurt?
Yes. It hurts beyond all comprehension. Nothing should hurt this bad, nothing. Yet it does.
Do you know how to stop it?
No. I believe the cat is the key, but I do not know for sure.
The cat...
He isn't the monster. We are. He has the right to be angry. It's the other spirits who are monsters, not him. It's unfair to call him so.
His true form isn't a monster?
No. It's only the warped and twisted hatred for the rat's trickery that causes it. Once the hate is gone, we will know his true form.
Really?
Yes. I feel dirty...
Are you dirty?
Yes. We're all dirty... So dirty...
Dirty? How so?
Dirty with sins. Sins we can not atone for. Never.
No one can.
That is not true. Humans can atone for their sins. It is the Zodiac that can not.
Angela: And that is chapter three. Chapter four is next, and will be nice. I'm thinking of doing one chapter for the thoughts of each of the Zodiac. Y'know, what they think of being human. And of course, there will be one for Akito. After all, God needs a say too, doesn't he?
