Not kaiju. Demons. Of all shapes, sizes, of all power levels. And it was my job to exterminate them, to protect the city and its people from being their prey. If the simulation is anything to go by, then things will not be much different for me here in that regard.
[ "Demons." Something about the way he says that, even if only in text, makes her skin crawl. For a moment, she can only wonder if she'd be counted among them in any other instance. That is, if they're anything like her species to begin with. ]
You're right. I'm not used to working with others. It's not that I didn't have anyone back home, but it was much different than this. But I wonder, now. Was a hinderance to them, or them a hinderance to me? Would it have been better off if I worked alone?
Have you experienced anything like this place before?
[ Yeah, she's got nothing for that first part. She doesn't want to say she feels the same way. For everyone's sake in that house, it's best if she never returns. ]

can't say it's any less stressful though

From one job to another. I guess this is just how it's going to be. All that has changed for me now is the time and location.

might be a bit more stressful
just a little

if they cared about you, they wouldn't think of you as a burden

[This is happening to him a lot.]
It's fine, really. I'm a little out of place here.

[Fun fact: the Taishou era was only 14 years long elsewhere. He's from a weird place. But, the 1920s or thereabouts.]
no subject
I'm from Japan
not familiar with Taishou but
is that a year?
history wasn't something they taught me
no subject
[He actually has some experience with this weird interdimensional travel business.
Not a fan.]
It would be 1922, if that helps.
no subject
I'd say you've been missing out on TV but honestly
probably better off without it
