"Clothes make the man; naked people have little or no influence in society." - Mark Twain

Tsukiko: Look, everyone knows that the undead are the antithesis of life, right?

Except people are jerks. Lying, untrustworthy jackasses, every one of them. Everyone knows this, too.

So, logically, undead must be the opposite of that: caring, sensitive, honest souls who are oppressed by the living majority and their negative stereotypes.

They just need someone like me who understands them, so that they can realise it.

Monster-san: And the bloodsucking, and level-draining?

Tsukiko: Natural defenses against predation.

Monster-san: Ummm, yeah, I don't really think it works that way.
