DAMNED.

                “Infernal“  blood  grew  cold.  Vivid  hues  widen,  now  disturbed  as  her
  focus  shifts  to  him  from  her  peripherals.    A  once  lackluster  train  ride  now  a
  growing  concern.  It’s…  Diluted.  Happens  when  your  family  is  old  as  dirt…  ’ 

                Izumo’s  eyes  return  forwards,    coming  to  glare  at  the  pale  hands

  that  clenched  her  cellphone  in  her  lap.      ‘  …  Are  there  any  more  like  us

  nearby?  You  know——   the  DAMNED.             Since  I  obviously  can’t  tell.  ’


     

———❝ You’ll get a nose for it, eventually — for better or worse, demons can be quite useful. ❞
He folded the paper over his thigh, finding himself suddenly disinterested in the article he’d been reading. It was evident the man was of foreign blood, but you couldn’t tell it by how he spoke. His tongue hadn’t the slightest of accents.

       The man frowned, rubbing his forearm as if her words hadn’t struck a chord. The parallels in her statement certainly made him wonder.

     

❝ But damned is such a harsh word for a girl whose only sin is the blood coursing through her veins?
