"You have something that belongs to me," Ryuk said, looking at the doll-like lady.
She stopped when she was a meter away from the mountain, and in response to his words, her hands, which had been held together, parted slightly, leading to the appearance of strange violet-coloured strings.
They appeared at the edge of her fingers, merging from one finger to another.
"You're right…" she said, turning from her strings to Ryuk, whose eyes quivered in slight confusion.
'Strings? Which part of me is a string!?'
"Where is your army?" the dragon asked, as Marionette watched him descend from the mountain.
He landed upon the ground, shaking it with might, but she did not tumble.
"I have not come to fight. Only to ask some questions,"
The mannerism, the tiny-child-like words, her innocent doll-like appearance, all reminded Ryuk of one thing Evander had said the first time he had met him.
