The voice that met her ears made her fur stand on end. Something about the tone of it was unlike any kind of venomous, wicked tone she had ever heard. Her head whipped around to look at the male in question and her ears flicked back against her head. She had no idea who he was, but the look in his eye didn't comfort her at all. Roza quickly turned so that she was facing him. She certainly didn't want her back to him if nothing else.

This was Ganta's brother that he had warned her about. Her pale gaze darted around for a moment, looking to see if anyone else was around, but of course there wasn't. She was alone with what could possibly her worst nightmare. Her eyes fixed back on his and she tried her best to steady herself. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as she imagined. Her hopeless optimism was never ending and reckless. "Y-you're Ganta's brother, right? What do you want?"
