"... The mother of monsters. All monsters, whether they're vampires, werewolves, Beasts, or something else." He's quiet for a few moments, before glancing to Ryoji's side, hoping to see the geist - but he can't.
"You said you died and came back with something attached to you. A Horror is something that attaches to us. All of us have nightmares of being chased, or hunted, or having something lurking. Some of us just get eaten up. Others have another Beast show up in our dreams. But we end up being devoured all the same... and we realize that we were the one chasing ourselves. So the Horror swallows up our soul and takes its place."
He pauses and paces slightly, uneasy with being still. "A Horror is... something from the Primordial Dream, which is where all nightmares come from. Usually it's something that represents... a fear. It's not always an animal - sometimes it's a shapeless something from the dark. Mine is a hawk - that's why I remind people to look up. It's not a bad thing. Even nightmares serve a purpose. If they didn't warn people, a lot more of humanity would be dead."
