No, but... I feel as though we are being watched. I've tried looking for pairs of eyes, but I have had no luck so far.

[A pause.]

This is unsettling, aru. It reminds me of the time when the skin thieves attacked.

[ramenkage]

Well, that means they know better than to attack us, yeah? I'm sure we can take whatever's waiting.

[ ... ]

Wait...Skin thieves?

[gochuugoku]

Oh? So you were not present when they first appeared?

Well, you deserve an explanation, aru. [He tucks a stray black lock behind his ear.] They are monsters who skin their victims after killing them, so they can put the skin on themselves and pose as the person they just killed. Sometimes their acting skills are nearly flawless, which makes them even more dangerous.

Before they attacked last time, they watched everyone. ...They might be here, it is possible since we never knew what became of the ones who survived.

[ramenkage]

[ And he is effectively speechless and horrified all at the same time. ]

Shit! That's...that's sick. Why would they even do that? The hell do they gain by pretending to be us?

[gochuugoku]

I heard it was because they desire to feel alive again, which makes me think they are restless spirits.

[ramenkage]

Is there any way to...y'know, exorcise 'em or something?

[gochuugoku]

Killing them seems to be the only way. Also that way, the scientists will be able to retrieve the victim's skin, which is probably needed to resurrect them.

[ramenkage]

Let's just....hope they aren't around, yeah? [ Because oh god that sounds horrifying. ]
