[ It does seem bizarre to her. Where she's from, owning a business is as grand a dream as dreams get. Maybe it is that he's a mage? He expects more from life as a result? But he doesn't really seem the type. ]
Look, I don't know anything about what that means. Something meaningful. All I know is that I'm a rifter, aren't I, and so things are different for someone like me.
[Being among these bright hopefuls has affected him more than he thought.]. Um. Until recently, half our division heads were rifters. One still is. Things aren’t any different for someone like you as for someone like me. They think I’m a demon too, you know.
[ That's...Right. Mages are supposed to be demonic here, aren't they? It's a weird thought. ]
It's not about what people think of me. I mean - I don't much care what people think of me, you know. It's more...You know, maybe we're both demons or whatever, but I'm a demon who only seems to live two or three years at most. If the other rifters are anything to go by. I mean, there's hardly anything sillier than working towards a long and prosperous life when it's certainly not going to be long, don't you think?
