"Mm..." The messenger hummed, still holding the grimoire, the voices starting to pile up within his head. "Going back to you... You are Yama, right? That's who I assume you are?" She turned to the messenger, who paused upon hearing the name. He has not heard someone call him by his name, so he was reasonably thrown off. "You'd be correct. It has been quite some time since I've heard that name, so excuse me for my concerned expression." He attempted to laugh it off, as Alba Sera was not too surprised at this. "It's not your fault. I would imagine the last time you heard your name was... the moment." She looked straight at him while exclaiming. "Every since then, my name has not been uttered by any other living soul. This blade was forged to silence those who announced my name in vain, using it to taunt those who they took from me. It hasn't been drawn since."
Alba Sera nodded, trying to comfort him. "I observe, I do not judge." She said, before another individual suddenly appeared into existence. "Judgement is only natural for those who hold humanity within their hearts." Alba Sera turned to the figure, raising a brow. "I have seen things not even you can think are possible to do to a human body. I am not human, nor do I think I can hold humanity inside of me. it is just a figment of artificial intelligence and its belief on what humanity is." The figure hummed for but a moment, towering over even Yama, who was an an extraordinary 10 feet. "One who does not bare on to a soul could never speak comfortably on what humanity is." It said, though Alba Sera was not fazed by this.

"That's why I believe I don't think I can hold it inside of me. It's impossible for me to conceptualize what humanity truly is, I can only mimic my comprehension of it. Just the same as how humans and anyone with emotions find it impossible to comprehend how artificial intelligence like me is incapable of showing it." She explained to him, who chuckled. "You are quite the interesting character." As he chuckled, Yama's tone suddenly changed. "You smell of malice." This immediately piqued the large creature's interest, turning to Yama. "Ah, well... Your people have always kept me well fed during my time."
Before either could even react, the large creature suddenly grasped onto Yama, as space began to distort around them, transporting the two to what seemed to be another dimension.
