I- I was born on Earth, in the human world. I was the youngest Ryuun. My parents died early on in battle, and I took up their duty. The other Ryuun born outside our home realm, they fell too- I never even met them, because of how spread out we had to be.
[Hanyuu survived. Hanyuu was alone strong enough, fast enough, smart enough.
Hanyuu was, alone.]
The elders told me, don't appear to humans. Not looking like that. We look like what they call demons. We are demons. I... They would talk about our realm, our dead world, and I- I didn't know anything about it. I couldn't, with them, though they tried to tell me. What was real to me- Earth was real to me. The human world was real to me. I loved the grass and the air and the water, how everything felt. They would talk about how it was different where we were from, and I- I barely cared to know! All I wanted...was to connect with them, but I couldn't! I couldn't, I couldn't, I could only talk to the automated guide they gave me...!
Because... Because the humans were too afraid... I couldn't connect with other, much older Ryuun...so I tried with humans, I protected them, but they feared...because I couldn't hide these damned horns!!
[She punctuates her words with stomps, one for each. Filled with an overwhelming amount of frustration. She's said some of this, before, but she can't- she can't get Elda to see, just how much this hurts her, and it makes her feel even worse.]
