I also have large gaps in my memory I cannot account for. Curious.

[Lucy lowers her hand to glare at the man. Her tense posture and voice almost radiate an aura of distrust as she asks him;]

Why do you want to know about me?

[Do you expect me to feel sorry for your problems?

She's not willing to share anything with some strange human. His presence only causes her irritation in the midst of recalling only pieces of very recent memories.]

[Smoke picked up on the shift in her aura and her change of posture. He remained where he was, not moving much at all.]

No special reason. Just establishing commonality, that's all.

[He had not been sent to collect her. He was merely an observer at this point.]

[He'd better not get too close. Even though he's within her two meter range right now, she doesn't yet choose to decide to move her spectral arms and hands towards him.

She could change her mind at anytime though, if he dared to insist on being curious about her.

The dumbass wants to try to find common ground between us. Lucy wants to say that out loud, but doesn't give into the temptation.

She tells him something else instead, with mild disgust.]

I don't think we'd have much in common. We're not of the same species.

[Lucy doesn't see a pair of horns on the man's head, for one thing. If he had been another diclonius like she was, then she would have already sensed him coming.

Male diclonii are so rare to see anyway. That stupid professor at Kohta's college had horns under that wig of his, but he didn't have vectors to stop her from decapitating him.

Lucy starts to turn around, and walk away from Smoke. She perceives him as clueless, and stupid. But she'll grant mercy regardless.]

I'm not interested in your little game. Forget you ever saw me.

The Realms are vast and infinite. It is in my nature to learn about the many beings there, regardless of species. We may not be the same species, but that doesn't mean we can't have common ground and respect one another. No games.

[He kept his distance, when dealing with a new lifeform, it was important to let them know they were respected.]

[The Realms...? What the hell is he talking about?

Lucy stops after taking a few steps in the direction away from this mysterious man. She won't deny it to herself that she's starting to become a little curious about who she deems to be a weird fool.

He really wants to know what I am... Underneath the calm tone of her voice, a layer of disgust remains.]

I was born to wipe out humankind in this world. I was given the power to do it, to make room for my kind...

Would you still regard me with respect? What common ground would you be able to establish?

[She's not at all willing to discuss about the holes in her recent memories.]

Yes, I would. I don't have to agree with a lifeform to respect it. Besides, It does not sound like this task brings you any joy. I understand more than most that change is in the nature of the universe. It only makes sense that eventually something would replace the human race. Additionally, you have made n attempt to carry out this mission on me.

[He paused.]

Though, I suppose I am not entirely human, so I may not fall into the category of things that need to be destroyed by you.

Having to kill so many vermin? No, I don't enjoy it.

[Lucy glares over her shoulder at this very strange man.]

Not entirely human? I'm not gullible.

[Stupid ape. Lucy thinks he's just lying to in hopes to get her to spare his life completely.]
