kay that's not

Sorey exchanges a bewildered glance with Mikleo before leaning forward, fidgety with nerves because this is a hell of a misunderstanding.]

I'm really sorry, but I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Unless something specifically involves malevolence or hellions, a Shepard is not to get involved. And- Undyne? The cook on Mikleo's ship, she called herself a monster and she looked sorta like a hellion, but there wasn't even a speck of malevolence on her.

That's what I mean about malevolence behaving strangely. All this stuff about hunting demons and Akuma and Youma...I don't know what those are, and if they try to hurt people we'll do what we can to help people escape or heal wounds, but unless there's malevolence corrupting things then we're really not supposed to do anything besides help with evacuation efforts. [Lailah has made that extremely clear. Those Akuma and Youma things sound like bad news, absolutely, but what if they're human weapons or something that came about due to human society? Sure, if they turn out to be like hellions, corrupted by malevolence and the like, Sorey will happily get involved but he's already been manipulated into one war and that had not been a fun time for anybody. He'll never forget the looks on those soldiers' faces, or the choking taste of malevolence so thick he nearly drowned in it.

This is sounding a lot bigger than he'd anticipated, and from how Allen's talking, Sorey doesn't think he'd be fond of the culture around it either.]
