[Sits back and thinks for a moment.]

You have to understand... the situation here was really bad. Manji had been imprisoned for weeks, Isaku for a long while too. Doa and I had already fought our way through a lot... we even thought Isaku was really dead for a while. We were underground, and some of the explosions breached the moat walls, so freezing water was rushing in from every direction. And they turned this thing loose... he must have suffered terribly, but he was out of his mind by then, I think. He looked like a demon... these long limbs, longer than any regular human would have, that just sliced through the water, faster than any of us, and these long blades on his hands, a better reach than any of us, and. Um.

Even though they're immortal, they're not unkillable. If you cut off the head, it really takes them out, and there are other things... but anyway, the head is the fastest way. And this guy... his head and his neck... they were reinforced. So the one way we knew to take him out just... wouldn't work. The others fought and fought, and other guards were coming in, and I just tried to help, and it was all insane, and that creature was completely mindless. It just... was there to kill.
