[ An odd conversation, but certainly not unpleasant. Axl and the kids know that she occasionally comes home late, so she knows they won't be too worried. After all, food's ready and they have everything they need, well before time. Which is why this trip doesn't seem so bad... though as she walks back through the quiet path, a change from her regular route owing to her having just met Muraki, she glances up at the sky...

It's getting late. She'd better hurry. ]

... I should have worn a sweater... [ She murmurs to herself, before she begins to walk faster. This path is taking her longer than her normal route home, and she doesn't want to be in here longer than necessary. It feels too... desolate and quiet, despite the city sounds surrounding the distance ahead... ]

[Yes. Yes. Megumi appears weak now, and Muraki stands at a distance, watching as she sinks to kneel on the ground. Very, very close. He pauses where he is, a look of worried shock working its way onto his face.]

Yamamura-san....? Are you all right?

Dr. Muraki... please leave. Or at least...

[ What's happening? Was there something in the beasts power? She feels stranger, as though something was sucking out her energy there, and she whispers the words ]

... help me f i n d . . .

[ her eyes feel heavier and she can feel consciousness slipping. This isn't right... this... ]

[ She's unconscious before she knows it's happened. So much for heroism... ]

[It took a little while, but finally she was knocked out. Muraki's beasts had done the trick, really, and he reminds himself of the technique he used. That might prove useful later on. He quickly catalogues the information as he steps closer, closer to the prone form on the forest floor. She looked destroyed, damaged somehow.]

Foolish girl.

[His voice seems to have no inflection, no sympathy for the fallen heroine at his feet. Why should he, when he was merely to deliver her? He crouches to the ground next to her, staring a moment before lifting her from the ground. She's a little heavy, but much lighter than most he had had in his grasp.]

Well, time to go, Yamamura-san.

[He smirks, continuing down along the path with Megumi in his arms. Now it was time to complete the transaction.]
