Kusuo Itego, Log 1B

And this is where my story continues. My life began and ended ages ago, yet I stay around, standing once more in position in spite of my death. Murder, at that. Had I not entered the Blue Haired Demon's Hive at the same time a familiar man in violet had exited, I would not have known about what was to follow.

And now that the officials are bored of reading this, I'll be dropping this professional tone. I'll be honest, I didn't want to have to deal with this in the first place. The only reason I went to the bar in the beginning was because I knew Callum's old father was there, and that Akane wasn't, and that I could talk to him without seeming threatening. Of course, seeing him drunk and on the floor as someone rushed into me was not what I expected.

Anyway, Markus is back. And I wish he weren't.

The moment he ran into me, he fell back and struck his head against the floor. No blood, but he fell unconscious almost immediately. I didn't want to meet him here, because I really just wanted to know everyone had gotten back to their respective homes.

This proved the opposite.

Of course, I got back home, but I didn't know if anyone else did, and I didn't know how to get him back to his own. I wasn't in much of a rush to get anywhere, exactly, but I still didn't want to bring him in as a refugee - especially not where we had to go in order for him to be somewhat protected from the havoc of this city. I'd have to call Akane when I had the chance, but at the moment, it seemed I was lost, stuck with an unconscious man in a black hoodie and a glove that glowed a faint purple.
So, I did what any responsible adult would do when faced with a crisis.

I left. With him, of course.
