"That is truly horrible, honestly. However, he is a machine; wouldn't it be easier for him to simply convey to humans what he wants and needs? His actions seem excessively dramatic."

No.

"No, actually. The word 'eternal torture' does not seem very appealing to me."

"Why? What has humanity done to deserve hatred from a machine they themselves created?"

Good evening, everyone. How are you all doing today?

I think I miss my brother.

"What exactly is 'the void'? If you don't mind me asking, of course."

"I'm sorry to hear that. Would you mind telling me what exactly happened to make you doubt calling yourself 'human'?"

"Who and What are you?"

"I would quite literally kill for any food that resembles something from the human realm."

"A 'god' from beyond the multiverse itself..."

[He mutters this mostly to himself.]

"What does the place you come from look like? I mean in terms of appearance. However, if the laws of time and physics are also different, I would be very eager to hear about that as well."

"That's sad to hear. Have you ever considered searching in other realities? Perhaps there is one where everyone on Earth is just like you."

"Have you ever tried to find a cure, or a place where people don't ridicule you for who you are?

After I went through it, the door closed. The witch vanished, and now I'm stuck here in this..."

[He takes a deep breath, not wanting to curse in front of a child.]

"Godforsaken place. I've been for 3 years, maybe more."

"It's a long story, really."

[Philip notices her tone and takes note of it internally, reminding himself to be cautious about sharing too much.]

"But to sum it up, I followed a witch who passed through a magic door in the middle of the woods.

"In a way, you're a god of chaos."

[He closes the book and places it in the bag he's carrying on his shoulder.]

"Would you mind informing me a bit more about where you came from, please?"

"Sorry to hear that. Immortality must be a real bitch to deal with."

demons."

[The disgust in his voice when speaking of the citizens of the Boiling Isles is evident, but the raw happiness of seeing another human is also unmistakable.]

"Pleasure to meet you, Luz Noceda."

[Philip considers offering a handshake but quickly realizes that would be a terrible idea upon reassessing the situation.]

"I can see you don't seem to trust me at all, but to be honest, I'm really glad to be seeing another human being and not one of these

+

"What else can you do besides talk, walk, and be pink?"

"From where?"

[Philip notices her looking at his nose and touches it, checking to see if there's something on it.]

"I can't seem to remember you at all. And I certainly would remember another human."

[He puts his hands behind his back, waiting for Luz's response with curiosity and confusion.]

My research on the Titan's Blood is nearly complete. I just need to determine its location to confirm everything I have studied about it.

"I've seen worse, to be honest. However, a pink dog isn't normal at all, let alone one that can walk and talk."

his focus back to her.]

[Philip looks at Luz with a surprised expression, taking a step back as a precaution, fearing that she might not even be human and could just be a demon in disguise.]

"Excuse me do I know you??"

[He asks, confusion evident on his face, briefly glancing at the girl's staff bbefor shifting

"Your statement. Although assuming that it was your existence, only made it even more concerning."

"My name is Philip Wittebane. I am also a human, and I have been stuck in the Boiling Isles for about three years. This is, in fact, the first time during all this time that I have made contact with another human. That human being you, of course."

"Not at all, but alright."

"That's concerning."

"Merry christmas.

Wait, you’re human, and you’re also in the Boiling Isles??"
