He Who Loves Humanity

"I'll turn off the lights now. Make sure you tuck your blankets properly."

"Yes, Sister." "Goodnight, Sister."

"Goodnight."

The nun who sends the children in their room turned off the light and after re-confirming that everything is in place. She closes the door and walked away.

Rui waited until there's no noise in the room anymore before getting up. It's a good thing that children who usually exhaust themselves playing in the afternoon will sleep tightly during the night. There are 6 children each room and Rui's bed location happen to be close the window pane on the ground floor. She quietly open the windows large enough for a child to go through and prop her feet up to go out. After arriving on the outside, she places a small stone on the window to prevent it from closing from the inside leaving a small gap open.

Rushing to the same position where she last activate her Ability, Rui calmed her disturb breathing due to running. After a few minutes of mental preparation, she starts her Ability once again.

"Ability: [Blood and Bones]"

Soft light purple text shine in the dark night forming a beautiful scenery. Another figure starts to form in front of the little girl.

He has a jolly, manipulative and mocking personality, speaking informally with most people as if they are close friends and often using cute nicknames. He even talks like a girl on occasion, particularly online, where he actually does pretend to be female. During conflicts, he plays on both sides so that whoever wins, he will have an advantage. Although he enjoys conflict and often showing up wherever there is potential for one, he usually stays out of it, preferring to observe the fight instead of directly taking part in it.

Compare to Shinazugawa Sanemi who have powers enough to be classified as Ability user, Orihara Izaya can be said to be within the "normal" rage of humans. Of course, these didn't mean that he's not excellent because his talents and attributes is undoubtedly reach a terrifying level in the genius category.

Rui looked at the young man in front and calmly walk towards the side fence of the orphanage. She's currently controlling Izaya to follow her and arrived at the destination. Hidden in the thick bushes was actually a covered gap in the fence enough for an adult, although it might be a little cramped, to go out. This side is not visible on the outside due to the camouflaged appearance of the thick bushes.

She hand over a few cash that she manage to secretly take out from the orphanage staffs. Due to the fact the children here had no experience of going out, the suspicion of stealing won't fall over them. Moreover, in her hands were only a few banknotes enough for few hours of internet usage in a café and transportation fee.

Rui plan to send let Izaya develop his network outside of Yokohama but not far enough to go out of Kanagawa Prefecture. She need someone with ability to give identity for the future avatars. She can't just put the all of them to slums, right? That would be too suspicious. A hacker can create fake identities with different origins which is convenient.

In fact, Izaya used to be her first choice when thinking about what avatar to create. But the idea of creating avatar with power that rivals Ability was more worth to put into test, so she ended up creating Sanemi first. After the successful test on Sanemi, Rui was able to confirm the her "setting" was properly applied for her to control.

An example of this was controlling Sanemi's sword moves. Rui who doesn't have memory of her past doesn't have any relevant knowledge towards swordsmanship. But she was able to control Sanemi's avatar during the fight as if she mastered swordsmanship herself. She categorize such inherent knowledge only accessible to the avatar instead of her own as a character bonus.

In the dark streets of Yokohama, a boy in black coat with brown fur lining calmly walks forward while humming.

"Ah~ Many things around here looks fun. I bet I'll have a really good time 'playing' in such place. Rui-chin is so stingy, even making me move out. I wanted to check out Sane-chan on the slum."

Orihaya Izaya speaks to himself as he's gaze darts over several places on he's way. He didn't immediately go out of Yokohama as he plan to spend the night at an internet café.

Internet Café, Yokohama

The people in the café didn't seem to be the type to care if there's a child in their place during night time. Izaya was able to rightfully rent a computer room without problems. He sits in place a little uncomfortably as he starts to face to computer.

"Hmm, let's see... Why do I feel like the technology here is backwards? My 'Mastered Hacking Skills' seems to be a steps ahead to of the current technology. So fun~"

The boy playfully tap the keyboard repeatedly but the content on screen was be no means something that people could laugh at. Izaya is currently trying to erase his and Sanemi's trace of appearance anywhere near the orphanage and him entering this café. The concept of "monitoring" with technology during this times were still raw and new so he actually didn't do much. The next thing is the falsified documents of Sanemi's "family". Creating a background of a humble family in slum documented as dead, Izaya who's a quite meticulous planner ended up writing a tragic life background for his comrade.

Of course, most of his own background information was designed to be "erased" as a powerful hacker in the future organization. Yes, Rui is planning to create an organization consists of her avatars. Izaya can't help but laugh thinking that his "creator" knows the meaning of fun!

Extra-fake identities were also created for money sources. All this time Izaya browse the internet like a fish in the waters. After spending a few hours settling his business, Izaya headed straight to the train station for his 1.5 hour travel to Hakone. At 4:55 AM, the people in the station can be counted easily. He boarded without problems and stare at Yokohama that forms an increasingly distance.
