[if your name is Naoto Shirogane, there is someone knocking at your window, which is odd, given that the room is totally not on the first floor

WHO COULD IT BE]

[hardlyboy]

[had been sitting at her desk attending to some papers-- pauses when she hears the knock and lifts her head]

Ah...?

[boxcut]

[waves]

[hardlyboy]

[sees Jennifer out of the corner of her eye and backs away in shock]

J--

[hardlyboy]

[... takes a step toward the window]

[boxcut]

[knocking harder; maybe banging]

[hardlyboy]

[placing a finger over her lips in an attempt to get Jennifer to stop being so loud; hazards a quick glance at the door before she goes to the window and opens it up]

What are you doing?

[boxcut]

Making lots of noise so you'll let me in.

[climbs in without bothering with pesky things like permission]

[hardlyboy]

You should not be here. If you cause too much ruckus the others will inquire, and as you are currently considered the most threatening person to the members of this dorm, it would be unwise for you to stay.

[boxcut]

I wanna talk to you. I can be quiet.

[hardlyboy]

Then please, speak.

[boxcut]

[sits on Naoto's bed]

Where do you want me to start?

[hardlyboy]

... wherever you would like, Jennifer-san.

[boxcut]

Sit here with me.

[hardlyboy]

[stays where she is]

That's alright.

[boxcut]

[fine; lies down]

I'm not gonna hurt you.

[hardlyboy]

[my bed...]

I believe you.

[boxcut]

Then why won't you come near me?

[hardlyboy]

[sigh]

Very well.

[goes and sits on the edge of her bed.]

[boxcut]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, man.

Anyway. The eating people stuff. Maybe we should get to that.

[hardlyboy]

You are a demon, correct?

[boxcut]

I didn't start out as one. Believe me, I'm not happy about it, either.

[hardlyboy]

What happened?

[boxcut]

Some guys took me in their unmarked white van into the middle of the woods and decided that what they needed was a virgin sacrifice to Satan or some poorly thought-out action plan they got off of Wikipedia or something.

And, like, I'm clearly not a virgin, you know? So this happened instead.

[hardlyboy]

What precisely does it mean for you?

[boxcut]

...Do you know what it's like to be constantly hungry? Not just kinda hungry, but really fucking hungry all the fucking time to the point where it drives you nuts 'cause there's just like this deep, wide hole in the middle of you that can't be filled?

Like that. Except I can't eat normal food. Just... people.
