INFERNO

"Well, to put it simply, it's my place of work."

Demons, you see, love human greed above all else. Wanting money, wanting power, wanting to be loved—

When they find those desires hidden deep inside, they offer a contract, saying, "I'll make it happen for cheap."

And by the time the wish comes true... it's time for the fun part: collection.

—Of your soul.

Don't you think it's a pretty profitable business? Human desires just spring up on their own even if you leave them alone.

...Though, demons aren't kind enough to tell you what's not written in the contract.

"If there's something you want, ask the price first. ...Don't come crying to me later, you hear?"

PARADISO

"Ah, those 'well-behaved little angels,' you mean?"

They spout all these grand things about protecting humans and leading them to the right path.

If they find a demon, they chase them off, and if there's a human who's made a contract, they work themselves to death trying to save them.

...Well, justice is a convenient word, isn't it?

If you bind yourself with missions and commandments, you don't have to think about anything complicated.

"Just one thing. If you believe in 'righteousness' too much... one day, the rug's gonna get pulled out from under you."
