Namjoon removes the cloth placed over her mouth. Not for fear that she would scream. The neighbors or closest people should have already contacted the police. They were the ones attacked! There will be no trouble. The real reason for gagging her is to stop her from biting and biting off her tongue and not talking.

The woman looks quite tense, but not scared. Barely, annoyed. Namjoon puts his hands in the pockets of his robe and stares into her eyes. She is a woman in her fifties perhaps, on her forehead is the star they've seen everywhere, carpeting London. Short ragged hair, coarse clothing except for the robe.

"Do you have a name?"

"No."

"What lazy parents." sneers Yoongi folding his arms. She gives him a repellent look.

"I came to this world not to follow the path of my parents and their lord, but the one who gave me a mission and will give me a place in his kingdom." she preaches and Yoongi exposes boredom and disgust. He considers it stupidity that, unfortunately, reminds him of his little time with the nun. He feels that the only women he talks to, are religious. "And you all should have gone with him too!" she exclaims upset. "Today you should have gone with him! To be welcomed into his cold realm through the burning flames he commanded us to spread!"

Jimin suffers a shudder. He relates very, very much to what was told at the university. He wonders if the fire thing, was entirely because of their presence and not because it was a specific "plan" for them in general.

"So you're a Satanist" Namjoon concludes, who just let her talk. "Do you belong to a specific group, are you from London?"

"We are from this village lost from the hand of God and rescued by our lord" She catalogues grandiloquently and even disgusted. "We are not Satanists, our lord is something much bigger, stronger and more beautiful than that hideous figure you have created."

"It is quite ugly the one you have idealized, but I think he is the most beautiful angel that inhabited heaven" comments Namjoon with that charming tone of his. The one with which he charms the students who watch class with him. "And he inevitably fell to a less sacred, less beloved land, but one that we will all eventually inhabit because we are unloved by God."

"Ah, YOU UNDERSTAND!" Taehyung, Jimin and Yoongi look to her and then to Namjoon, impressed Is she really believing him? He is hypnotic by excellence, but to have fallen right into the expected speech and convince her so quickly is impressive. "YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WANT TO DO!"

"No. Because I've never been led to take any missions," Namjoon says looking up. "I have only gotten missions from God, who lets me rot in this sad country without sun and heat... That's why I believe more in your lord" he states with a hand on his chest. "It would be timely for you to tell me what your mission is." he proposes and Taehyung turns to hold in his laughter.

What just happened? They thought he was going to hit her, threaten her, anything else He is just flirting with her! She perceives it as flirting, her look and posture give her away. Not to mention that if it were different, she wouldn't have spoken anymore. By now she would have bitten and bitten off her tongue.

"We want nothing more than to send his chosen ones with him!" she states excitedly. "Those who deserve to go to his land, those whom God has abandoned, like you! Homosexuals, artists, outsiders who invade other lands in which God protects, but in reality, he forgets and curses them, filling them with pain and discrimination."

"Is that why you murder students?"

"We send them to their true home."

"Through weapons that their lord asked them to use."
