Aruna
The demon simply accepted Zeke's embrace, allowing him to carry her in her arms. The redhead parted her hair with her hand and sighed. "I guess it doesn't matter until then. I'll just enjoy the moment. Where are you taking me this time?"

Zeke
He didn't answer. Instead, he only smiled more smugly, and carried her away into the skies...

It was a machine, in the end. Victims were plucked apart for study. Bodies were melted together in an agony of creation. Life was born in sterile pods only to be sentenced to the slaughter. Suffering stained the laboratory even deeper than the blood. But no human hands orchestrated these atrocities anymore. Spindly hands emerged from the containers and tables to facilitate the production. Pitiless automatons built from wise minds recorded the information from the vivisections. Not a single true thought passed through these things. Even if there was some spark of true life, of tears brimming within, they could not be seen.
So who could blame it? It was a machine, in the end.
But what of its creator? Surely, if there was someone who would understand the depths of the evil there, it would be him. A blundering demiurge, who even in ignorance would be able to articulate the spite he has to inflict such crimes. And yet...
"Hm? Why would I think about other people's pain?"
A creature coughed. Soon, its voice sputtered to life in mimicry of Zeke. Joseph looked up from the latest page to come to him from the laboratory with a puzzled look on his face. "Were you doing something important?"
Kotomine_Rin:
The Outer layer
7:30
Outside the gates of the tower of Sur Carys, the outer layer's denizens were horrified as they began to crumble one by one. The structures, the people, every organism shielding the interior with its presence was being cut off from the network - and slowly crumbling into nothing. What was the meaning of this?
Zeke
Continued from Highway 13
"Yo." A door opened behind Joseph, as the lab's gates widened to reveal that man. It wasn't the man who spoke though, but a black bird that perched swiftly on the operating table.
Expecting Zeke to come back, even the lord of this tower couldn't have foreseen him to return with such damage. No, this went even past the usual. Every part of his body was falling apart and deteriorating. Whatever didn't kill him immediately, it was chipping away at his concept of life and death. It was something even an undead like his lord couldn't resist casually. And he got hit too deep too many times to resist unscathed.
Zeke's one eye looked at Joseph as if to say don't laugh... and he dropped the body hoisted on his shoulder on the ground.... before falling on his knees himself.
It wasn't just the vessel that was cracking and breaking down, but the darkness inside. He was slowly evaporating.
But he still managed to smile at Joseph, with full confidence.

"You're leaking." The spindly arms of one of Joseph's experiments shifted over to loom over the two, an arsenal of surgical tools jutting from its flesh. It was almost like a moving laboratory. A human torso mounted onto a spindly body constructed of fused flesh and an almost unnecessary amount of arms stood straight, and its rib cage was side open. Eyes peered out from within, and tendrils armed with its many instruments began to descend. Joseph pressed a finger to his cheek in contemplation.
"I've always wanted to see what would happen to these other creatures you made if you died. Maybe I'd finally be able to use them? Or I could try to finally observe that extradimensional connection you have before your death severs it." His head shifts back and forth for a bit, bobbing with the changing thoughts. "Oh, or do you want me to help?"
