"..."
At first, he doesn't say anything in response to these questions, as if he has to think over the ramifications of such a thing first... Yes, while he is a kid, the eyes that suddenly light up in thought as he weighs the pros and cons of the situation are very unkidlike, the sort of eyes of someone that has had to make a "life or death" decision more than once, of course, simply answering your questions shouldn't be such a dangerous thing, yet...
"...Well, I guess you can do it too if you caught me, so you probably already know."
...After thinking about it for a bit, he lightens up, as if realizing it wasn't quite as big a deal as he had first thought...
"Aniki and Yuki-nee, everyone... They're all magic users."
Although the way he says it, as well as your current knowledge of this 'world,' seems to confirm that that sort of thing is indeed a secret...
"I guess you could say they're monster hunters? There was a lot of them in Tokyo a few years back... That's how they met everyone here... They looked after us while things were bad, and when it was over we all just sorta... Stayed together..."
---Naturally, if this was the outcome, that means their parents had likely died inside of Tokyo.
The "Bel War" mentioned in Agatha's book...
"If they got called away it was probably because of the monsters... They're like superheroes, you know?"
Well...
If the magic users of this place were anything like the ones back home, then that wasn't exactly an incorrect label, but...
"If things get really bad, there's a computer in the house we're supposed to use, but whatever they're doing is probably really important... The people in town would normally help too, but-"
...Ultimately, his explanation of things, his answers to your inquires, are cut short by the sudden sensation of...
The air... Shaking...?
The academy-turned-orphanage buckles, swaying inwards as if caught in a massive burst of wind, like the arrival of sudden storm-!
"Eh?"
Even Agatha seems surprised by the sudden development, as her curious gaze goes from the pictures on the wall, to directly above her head, as if some massive entity had simply spawned overhead, then-
----A screech.
A sound like a high-pitched screech, and then...
You can feel it.
It's not the feeling of spiritual power, of Reiki, but you can feel it all the same...
---Its something foreign, something you had never felt before in your life, different even from the power radiated by demons, it's something inherently offensive to you, something so heavy that it's mere presence feels smothering, like a crime against the concept of "life" or "existence" itself, and...
It's outside.
There's something outside, up above the school; and it's so offensive, so obviously dangerous, that your training as a Tamer kicks in automatically to dictate your actions, a quick glance at the kids to make sure they're alright -they seem to be, although now they're screaming- before running out the front door and leaping up towards the roof, eyes turned up to see...
Whatever the hell had just seemed to randomly show up out here, and-!
-are greeted with what seems to be cracks in the sky.
Yes.
Cracks in the sky.
Naturally such things should be impossible, the sky is not a glass surface, it is not something that can be fractured in the first place, and yet...
There are cracks in the sky all the same.
Through those cracks, you can spy a darkness without measure, something that is not lit up even though light should be pouring through it through those same cracks... It's the darkness of a void, like a black hole that sucks in everything, even light, an event horizon that does not allow even the smallest bit of illumination to escape, yes...
It's a dark through which things do not return, the black space of nothingness, and yet-
And yet-
As if to spit on the face of 'logic' in spite of that...
There's something crawling out of those same cracks, a single thing, a single entity that-
-sort of hurts your eyes to look at, like you were trying to gaze through a haze of static, but you force your way through that haze all the same, straining your spiritual senses to their limits, and-

Everything was on "it's" track-

-It's a massive monster, easily the size of a house.
White appendages clawing at the world outside as it heaves it's body through the cracks in the sky, an intense feeling of 'revulsion' shoots through you at the mere sight of the thing, as if it was something that, quite simply, had no business existing at all, an aberration that was more "inhuman" than anything you had ever seen before, it-!
"Oh dear... What is that...?"
Having followed you up to the rooftop, Agatha's stare is a wide-eyed one, a truly confused one, as if she had absolutely no idea what she was looking at, but...
"I suppose it's not friendly, hmm? In that case, we should do something about it, right?"
Just like you...
She seems to get the idea...
That it's something that simply doesn't belong, a screeching horror that is but a few seconds from escaping it's void like prison-!
