The red stone of Aja was what he needed, what this was all about, though it seems that became a sort of side mission. You were a friend of Joseph's so to speak, you weren't involved with Hamon or any of that, just a simple friend. You yourself were quiet into thrift shops, places that sold old trinkets and spare parts. Most would call you a loser or nerd for it, but who gives a shit?

You kept spare parts, putting them together and messing with mechanics, it was still a newer thing after all, there were many new things to discover with technology. Joseph caught up to you while you walked through the streets, carrying some new items in your bag as he talked your ear off. Then it came, the creature, Pillerman himself. You were gorgeous, more dazzling than any emerald, the sun seemed to radiate your presence as Kars hid in the shadows. He himself couldn't go out in the sun, he would be as good as dead, but he could always wait till sundown or get Wamu to swoop you up.

He could smell power off of you, despite your normalcy, it was clear you were hiding something. The way you hid from others, even Joseph, he could smell the energy from you, and it was delicious. The moon bloomed, stars shinning down as air kissed your skin. You walked down the now darkened alley's only to be met with three large men, no, Pillermen.
