          ^{he gripped the DULL blade between his palms, knuckles PALED as though to steady his hands.FATIGUE, wariness, and a BITTER cold nipped at every NERVE in his form. the air STAGNANT as the tension continued to writhe from the shadows. the lurking DEMONS hissing with fits of desire, CRAVING for a bite. yet, he stood still, neither willing to DIVE into the fray and desecrate the lands like he was meant to nor did he flee the scene to save his skin for another day.
          vision flicked over onto a nearby figure, whether they had approached RAPIDLY or discretely was beyond him. but they were RIDDLED with danger from head to toe. if Yato hadn’t been able to detect them sooner, they were undoubtedly a threat GREATER than which hid in the darkness beckoning Yato to step into their trap. his focus did not linger on the other, rather he directed all his attention to the alleyway. shoulders loosened, his stance relaxed as he prepared for what he was about to do next.
          he held onto his blade tightly once more, beginning to stride forward toward the shadows. nonetheless, he pivoted and turned his BACK to the darkness while he proceeded to ‘advance’ deeper into the alleyway. there was little to no reason for his seemingly CARELESS strides, but silent words fell from his lips as though he were LACING a prayer onto the blade before him. the kind of CALM that POURED from his being in the midst of battle, when it BEGGED for a serious atmosphere. canting a glance over his shoulder, his pupils narrowed into pins. ❝You picked on the wrong God,❞ he announced before lunging out of the way of a SLIPPERY black form. poising his sword ( doused in holy water ) downward, he drove the point DEEP into the creature’s flesh. its snake-like body WRITHED and TWISTED in agony, emitting bone-chilling shrieks until it’s body began to gradually disintegrate as though made of cinders.}

♚ —— ❛ YOU DON’T _{see it ? ❜ he asked the woman, who by
then looked unreasonably terrified as she shook her head, causing the
the platinum blond to walk away with a sigh.}

             _{He couldn’t pinpoint the exact day he started seeing the demons, but
             he knew that nobody else could see them. He had asked around, only
             to be looked down upon, as if he had lost his mind, well, more than
             usual at least. Pale digits dug themselves deep into his pockets.
             He had always considered himself to be a realist. Hallucinations were 
             things he didn’t entertain. & yet, he couldn’t help but hold an inkling of
             doubt that he just might be going crazy.}

_{The chilly night air didn’t bother him, & returning to his apartment was
something he didn’t want to do just yet, instead, choosing to roam
& get lost in the city until he felt tired enough to sleep, or until he
found an open building with a terrace where he could stargaze for a
while, & spot every demon in the wide view he would get. But they
never came too close to him, & he didn’t complain about it.}

             _{Slipper-clad feet froze as the translucent form of a serpentine
             demon appeared before him, far enough to be avoided & it
             didn’t seem to notice him. When it came to ghouls, he knew 
             about the enemy. He knew how to defeat them & he knew it
             well. It annoyed him to be left in the dark about the nature &
             weaknesses of these creatures. “Are they even destructible
             in the first place ?”, he wondered.}

_{Crimson optics widened as they landed on the raven, all thoughts of
fleeing the scene escaping him as he watched is morbid awe as
the boy delivered the snake its death. He knew for a face that no
quinque could destroy it, & yet, all it took was a sword to make it
disintegrate. He ran towards the fading beast, shock evident on 
his features, whispered vocables falling from his lips.}

           ❛ –— IT’S GONE… HOW _{did you do that ? ❜}

mama's little pet.	❛ –— how many good boy points did i get, mama ? ❜ childhood verse; where he had been kidnapped when he was very young lives as the pet human of an abusive, influential ghoul called Big Madam, who he calls "mama", who regularly tortures him to lessen his ability to feel pain.
❛ –— hang in there ! hang in there ! don't let this end too soon ! ❜ scapper verse; where he works as a scapper in the ghoul restaurant, killing the "meals" bought to the stage to amuse influential ghouls. His sense of fear & morality disappears.	hang in there.
chaos in stitches.	❛ –— whether i live or die isn't that big a deal... ❜ default verse; where he is rescued & trained & joins the CCG, fighting with no other purpose but to exterminate the ones he is told to.
❛ –— i'll work hard, for your part as well. that is my salvation. ❜ post-timeskip verse; where he works hard to honor shinohara's sacrifice, fighting with that sole purpose in his mind. A sense of morality begins to slowly form within him.	fight with a purpose.
