    Deva's hand unexpectedly rose and touched his cheek.  "Oh
holy messenger," she said softly.  "Thank you for coming.  We
have waited so long."
    "God's will be done," Jinnai said.  Frankly, he didn't know
for certain if God existed or not.  But if He did, He was quite
definitely on Katsuhiko Jinnai's side.

Grrrr... Jerk.

Yar, but he's such a fun jerk to write.

Okay, Diva and the Bugrom are all ancient bioweapons. This is cool. Question
now is, are they close enough to machines to be accessed by Makoto's talent?

Not gonna tell.  But, on the flip side, does this mean that Jinnai is
capable of communicating with beings other than the Bugrom?

And if so, will he be able to use that to forge an understanding, and a
peace? Stay tuned, people.

Film at eleven.  Not.

    Slowly, the clouds of sand settled.  The bubbles left in the
wake of the rising disappeared.  The fish returned to the
trench, and business resumed as usual at the bottom of the sea.

But not topside, I bet.

Naturally.

What does this new demon-god want, and how does it measure up to Ifurita?

That remains to be seen.

A bit of a thought, is THIS the Lord of Deeper Shadows?

That, too, remains to be seen.  :)

Worth looking at, I think.

Hopefully so.  Chapter 3 (60% complete or so) should reveal more things.

Thanks for the commentary.
