[Reimi's not quite sure where she suddenly is,either. And who he is.]

This isn't my street.

[She's now looking around, too.]

[Who said that?

The sudden, non-demonic presence has Naoki bristle in place. He jerks his head to look over his shoulder at...a human girl. He doesn't at all recognize her, but that's not nearly as important as the fact that this has to be another of the few who survived the Conception. Where does she stand in all this? He doesn't want to assume anything.

Where the hell are they, anyway? This isn't the Kabukicho prison.]

Who are you, and where did you come from?

[In his tone, it's almost as if he demands to know. Part of him wants to protect this girl, because who knows if there are any demons besides the ones he can summon and boss around... It's a small part of him that dares to hope. At the same time, he internally scowls at himself over this. No, the world as he knows it won't return to the way it was. And almost every human he knows has lost their mind by now.]

[a ghostly presence. A normal human ghostly presence - that's Reimi Sugimoto for you. She shouldn't be here, exactly, she 'haunts' another place normally, but maybe this place is just weird. As for why he can see her right now... well, maybe it's just some weird shenenigans in this place.]

Sorry, sorry, I seem to have got turned around a corner, and am just a little bit lost right now. So- just - can you see me? I'm Reimi Sugimoto. Nice to meet you, Mr. ...?

[Naoki calms down, and it's a repressed relief that he feels. It's a bit surprising too, since he hadn't expected to run into any human spirits. At the prison, there hasn't been any.

It'd be stressful, if he has to deal with another alive human. He's already started to lose hope that his school teacher may still be alive. And one of his friends, Chiaki, had recently fallen to madness. Her talk of remaking the current world into only a place for the strong to survive sort of parallels to what Hikawa has said, who had brought literal hell on Earth in the first place.]

Demi-Fiend. [His secondary, newer name. His real name is reserved for those he knows he can rely on.]

Yeah, I can see you. Demons see and encounter human spirits often... You're also lost?

[It wouldn't make sense for any demon to hide his or her presence around them, anyway. Ghosts wouldn't be edible.

Only one from his group of allies remains close by, however. The rest have all agreed to split up and search for anything relevant in this new, unfamiliar place. High Pixie, a blue haired fairy with dragonfly wings, hovers in midair beside Naoki's head. She's just observing this conversation for the moment.]

[Reimi stares a little at the fairy. A Stand??? Or not? She isn't sure]

Fiend? That doesn’t sound too friendly. Should I call my dog?

I might be lost. This isn't my alleyway. I'm- people call that a bound spirit, that's what I am. In other words, I simply 'haunt' the place where I lived and was murdered. Me and my dog both.

[Right. The fact that Arnold, her dear dog, isn't right here, makes Reimi feel even more lost. Wherever she was right now, even Rohan-chan surely wouldn't find her. This wasn't Morioh town]

[The fairy grins in partial amusement at the human ghost.]

"He wouldn't be able to do anything to you. Not that we'd want to."

[Naoki ignores High Pixie's remark as he's not as tense or intimidating as he was before. He frowns as he listens to Reimi.]

That's too bad. Was it a demon who killed you, and your dog?

[He's only curious, as he ponders on whether or not he would choose to help her. Not that the other demons would care. Hu Pao and Oni might annoy him about this, but he knows that neither of them would be interested in doing anything to spirits.]

"I see."

"No, it wasn't a demon, it was an evil man."
