3rd kill | video

[Well well... this man seems rather amused as soon as he comes on to the video feed. He's smirking, a rather sadistic smile on his face, and there's simply one thing he wishes to address.]

....I return it seems, residents of the tower. How long was I gone for? I wonder I wonder...

[Aah but he can't contain his sanity for long, oh no! He's far too excited to be back.]

Come... I beg of you... let me hear it, let me see it, what kinds of screams will you all make, what kinds of struggles will you go through in this tower...?! I've missed it, oohh how I've missed seeing all of this! Ihihihuhahahah....! Do not disappoint me....!

[in other words, hello this wonderful being is back and ready for some fun.]

...One simple question however.... has anyone seen her....? I need to know- where is she, my master, the one that has accepted me... Beatrice? Do not keep me from her.

You're certainly...enthusiastic about our hosts' work.

*Enoch doesn't think he's met this person before - or if he has, it was so insignificant he can't even remember the face - and then...he hopes this is just a temporary madness from being back on his world...*

[temporary? afraid not, this man is purely insane.]

What can I say, the way they handle things... aah, it's all so interesting.

I...see. So you enjoy watching people mutilated and stripped of their free will.

*He wants out of there. And probably will get up and leave sooner rather than later.*

Yes, yes....! That's exactly it, you've got it!

For one such as I, created simply for this purpose, it's all I know, you see...

You were...you were created to do this. May I ask what you are? Your words make it seem as if you aren't human.

[he can't even answer that properly.]

...A servant, a being of pure magic, created by witches and expected to carry out a duty, just one, become the murderer on the island of Rokkenjima.

I am not human, I will never be human.

....And without that duty here...why continue to take delight in deaths and mutilation?

*But he knows the likely answer already: For the same reason his friend Raphael cannot conceive of himself doing anything other than healing. Because to be created with a purpose is much different than to find a purpose.*

...It's been driven into me, are you able to go against everything you strive for as well?

[it's tough for him.]

*He knew it as he said it, and it's plain on his face.*

...Do you want to change?

*He certainly sounded enthusiastic...but Enoch hopes that he's human enough...*

[now, that's something he's never been asked before.]

...Hmm.. do I want to...?

If it means becoming human, then perhaps, but I have a role to fulfill and so of course- I cannot change from that.

But your role, what you said, that place likely doesn't exist on this world. They may call it Earth, but its stars... *Enoch shakes his head.* ...They don't look like the Earth I know.

..And what, might I ask, is the earth you know?

The one I came from, of course...I don't know how to describe it any other way.

Is it possible.... to have different worlds, to have a different earth? Hah, I know of different gameboards but not entirely different planets.

Of course it is...this place and worlds like it are proof enough of that.

...If that's the case then perhaps there are more doppelgangers running about.

I've seen the same person from multiple worlds before, but I'm not certain of the use of "doppelganger"...

*Naturally, the translation systems generalized that for him...*
