Nico drove until she came up to some yellow police tape.

"That's it. No more wheels from here." she said.

Izumiko nodded. "That means we're walking." She and her blonde sisters made to leave the van before the artisan stopped them.

"Yo yo yo, check it out." she said, moving to the back. She came back with a letter and gave it to Izumiko.

"What's this?" she asked, opening it.

"It's from Morrison. Probably his manifesto." Nico answered, crossing her arms.

"Read it aloud." Toga requested.

Izumiko nodded and began to read.

"It's been a good 30 years since I last wrote something like a letter. Don't have a typewriter or nothing, so unfortunately you're stuck with my shitty handwriting for now.

I heard you're planning on heading back to Red Grave. Wasn't sure exactly what I could do for you... I'm not a powerhouse like you, or the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Still, given my business, the least I can do is get you a few leads. Can't say exactly how useful they'll be to you, but hey... gotta be better than nothing, right?

So the first time I met Danya, she actually went by a different name: Tessa Redgrave.

Bet that got your attention, huh? Tessa Redgrave... Red Grave City... Just a coincidence? Or something more? I honestly can't say.

Still, figured if you're heading back in that direction you might be able to learn the truth yourself. That's why I've decided to tell you everything about the Danya I know.

It ain't every day that I just give this stuff away, girl. You'd best be grateful."

Izumiko went silent as she finished. 'She never told me that. I suppose I'll have to ask when I see her again.'

She had the upmost faith that she'd meet her aunt again.

Katsumi shook her head. "So, we doing this or what?" she asked as she and Toga stood from the couch.

Nico had on a coat that covered her front. She placed a divider between herself in her work station and the others. "I'm waitin' on you."

Izumiko went over just as Nico began rummaging through her things. "So, what are you gonna call that robo-arm?" Toga asked.

Nico answered before Izumiko could. "I call it Overture." she said as she got another robotic arm out. "And this one's Gerbera. I really worked up a sweat on this one."

She then got out two more. "I had these two for a couple weeks now." She placed them on the table as she introduced them. "This is Gerbera GP01 along with Sweet Surrender."

Izumiko picked up Sweet Surrender. "No offense but what's the purpose of this?" she asked nicely. Nico smirked. "It's for relaxation. So when someone finishes up workin', you can just snap that on and start massagin'."

Toga giggled at Izumiko's blank expression. The devil huntress in question simply hooked the devil breakers to a belt on her right hip and exited the van, the blondes following her.

"We need to catch up to V, fast." the greenette said as she walked away.

The trio found themselves in what used to be a plaza. There were what seemed to be statues everywhere. "What a mess..." Katsumi said as she looked around. They saw the shadow of a demon.
