Daiji places down a bottle in front of me and smiles. "Here is your drink, Claire," he says, eyes locked with mine. 

After joining the brothers in here, they told me a bit about themselves. Of course, it was things I already know about them. What they didn't tell me yet is about their jobs. That isn't something they're just going to toss out there. It isn't my business.

Vice stares at me, looking a bit confused or stunned. "Hey, she looks awfully-"

"Thank you for the drink," I say, putting my hand on the ice cold bottle. "I hope it isn't a bother for me to be here." Now Vice is silent because I shut him down. What an annoyance.

Of course the demon is the only one who can tell who I am. That makes sense. I have to find a way to convince him that I'm not who he thinks I am. I'm going to come off so bland in hopes he thinks I'm not the same as Maya.

"It wasn't a bother," Daiji says. "Right, Ikki?"

"Right," Ikki responds, agreeing with Daiji's words. "You have pretty hair. Did you do it yourself?"

I look at my blue locks and nod my head. "Yes, I had it done myself. I am able to style my own hair without any issues with any color I want it." HIC taught me how to disguise myself without any issues, so I am very capable of changing my appearance whenever I want to.

"How are you liking Japan so far?" Daiji asks me as he sits down across from me. 

I open the bottle up, my eyes going back to his eyes. "I like it a lot." 

"You seem to show your emotions quite well for someone who has a flat affect. Of course, I mean with your words." Daiji thinks I can express myself well even with a flat tone of voice? 

"I didn't notice that I do." I don't think that I do either. "Perhaps I am just that happy to be here in Japan. It is freeing to be in a whole new country that has new sights for me to see and exciting people for me to meet."

Japan has been quite good to me since I've got here. I have met people who are kind to me, have a roof over my head, and have someone who supports me in Mahiru. Even though she's my co-worker, Mahiru is someone I can count on to support me in my tasks. 

"Are we exciting to you?" Ikki asks.

"Ikki, stop messing with her. You're going to scare her away."

"Yeah, you two are quite exciting to me." I nod. "You two are quite interesting so far. You seem like there are a lot of sides to you both." 

These two have lives that others can only dream of. I don't have to dream of it though. I am living a double life. I am exciting to someone out there in the world for sure. One can only dream of having our lives. We're meant for battle.

"Really?" Daiji asks. 

"Yes, really." I really think that these two are interesting characters. "You two are close to each other aren't you? I wish I could be closer to my siblings." I need to relate to them as much as possible to get them to hand over more information on themselves.
