"Okay, I'll answer all these questions in order." says Mekakushi.
"First, from Angelo. Destroying the distortions wouldn't do anything. At least, it wouldn't fix the world. I do, in fact, have something else in mind. I'll get to that later."
"Next, from Serako. As for what happened, the world ended. Worlds end, it is just a thing that happens sometimes. Normally no one notices."
"Next, still from Serako. The Newspaper of Horror is a person. Monsters and spirits, are still people, even if they aren't like you."
"Next, yet again from Serako. Phones beats up spirits with a bat. Its pretty cool, don't you think? I'm pretty certain she uses that bat because it's red."
"Next, big surprise, from Serako. If by supernatural bugs you mean Luck Locusts, I have something to ask you later."
"Next, what, from Serako again? You saved Alissa from a pack of kitsune because you didn't want the Newspaper of Horror to take another year of your life. You made that decision yourself, so I'm not sure why you are asking questions about it."
"Next. I guess I'm fairly important. I am the reason why any part of this world still exists at all. Not to brag, or anything."
"Next. You are caught up in this for no reason. No reason at all. As for why you are alive right now, the Newspaper protected you. Presumably it saw something in you two. As for why the Newspaper found you in the first place? 'Couldn't tell you. Perhaps it was bad luck. Perhaps it was fate."
"I think that is everything. I wish I could make you feel better, but I won't lie to you. Any other questions?"
