Statement of… no one ? Well, that’s rather interesting
MARTIN
What ? How’s that possible ?
ARCHIVIST
Says here these were found in books found abandoned in the woods. Now, doesn’t that sound familiar…
MARTIN
You think they might be Leitners ?
ARCHIVIST
Possible. Anyways, onwards. Statement of unidentified young woman, estimated to be a teenager based on her writing patterns, regarding incidents that took place in the town of Kurouzu, Japan. Or… does that say Uzumaki ?
MARTIN
Spiral ? You think…
ARCHIVIST
Even if it is, we have to record it, right ? Might as well get started. Here goes. Statement of unidentified young woman, estimated to be a teenager based on her writing patterns, regarding incidents that took place in the town of Kurouzu, Japan. Original statement given June 10th, 1999. Audio recording by Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London.
ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT)
This is Kurozu-cho, where I grew up. I would like to share with you, the strange events that took place here…
————————————————————————
And in the sky, towering over us, was a vast… spiral.
ARCHIVIST
Statement ends
Well, that was… deeply upsetting. From the sounds of it, quite possibly every single Entity, save perhaps a few, decided to gang up on this one town. That’s… distressing
MARTIN
What on Earth did Japan ever do to the Entities ?
ARCHIVIST
The lighthouse was clearly the work of The Desolation, and the whole… spiral thing (shudders) was doubtless The… well, Spiral’s work, but…
MARTIN
But ?
ARCHIVIST
How do you classify vampire babies ?
MARTIN
I was under the impression that they were vampire fetuses, actually
ARCHIVIST
Yes, Martin, I’m sure that makes all the difference in the world. Now, how on Earth do I classify vampire fetuses ?
MARTIN
I rather think it… defies classification by its nature, doesn’t it ? It’s definitely Spiral-aligned, after all. Isn’t that the Spiral’s whole… well, thing ?
ARCHIVIST
I suppose so (grumbles) The next time I see Michael, I am punching him in the face…
MARTIN
Maybe it’s just a misidentified Leitner and none of it ever happened ? (shrug) Who knows ?
ARCHIVIST
God I hope so
