you have connection to them and are in a place without light. Shennong is at Shinjuku his days are spent at the school and his weekends are spent in my bed- I mean preparing for the week ahead and wants to protect those small routines. But he has thoughts like he did before of trying to take as many as he can and flee before the war starts but knowing he cant save everyone fills him with dread. Mineaki isn't underground like he wanted to be since Avagra is mixed up in all this and asks Shennong for help. Mineaki I swear nothing better happen to Shen the fact you never died in a Loop is your only saving grace. We learn Marduk sees us as some to defeat yet has sympathy for us but that quickly goes away when he gets eaten by Mushussu to be reborn and uninjured at the cost of his memories being erased and every time it happens he's fearful not know anything or who to trust only knowing of his Role to defeat Tiamat the Primordial dragon poor Marduk. Tiamat isn't a person but a phenomenon based on Wryms and is his ancestor. Marduk created the first humans in his world using Tia's child. Big thing is that Mononobe was tasked to only watch us and after he made Lil' Sal our deaths weren't as frequent but every Loop chipped at him until he gave up his Role and Rule leaving the Ring behind so we could use it to leave Tokyo. So lil sal has been around longer than I thought and apparently the Child Geniuses knew about him. Shiva finds us and the shell of Mononobe blocks his attack and it's actually Mahakala and the two merge to become Shiva Mahakala. Macan has the rule of Immortality and apparently Snow does too I think? Apparently Daikoku was to inherit Maha's Rule and tane says Daikoku and maha are the same. Cthugha debuts and he's a bit of a explosive emotional mess isn't he? He gets all shy and asks to be friends when the world is ending poor guy just doesn't want to be alone like he was in the world of the Old Ones and is grateful to whoever-
