I call you
"Good evening."
"Do you have what I want?"
"Of course. As we agreed."
"Good. I trust you've set a...reasonable price."
"Certainly."
"There are limits to what you are allowed to know."
"Surely they don't apply in this case."
"That remains to be seen. May I have the box?"
"A mere trinket. Hardly worth what you're willing to give in exchange."
"Only to someone with no heart."
"I wonder how someone who _does_ have a heart can kill her own sister."
"Is that all you wish to know?"
"For the moment. You agreed to answer one question."
"Very well. I killed her because I love her."
"Go on."
"Because if I allowed her to live her body and soul would be consumed by
evil. I was almost willing to let her power belong to a devil, but she
wouldn't have it. I killed Anri because she asked me to."
"You and I are alike."
"Only in that we've both killed someone's sister."
"Let's leave it at that, then. I'm sure you have some use for this puzzle
box."
"More than you ever will."
"I'm sure we'll meet again."
"I don't think so. I can see the future quite clearly."
