"I was ten at the time. I had been travelling with Mana for a time and during that time he died, leaving me alone. I was so heartbroken and filled with grief that he came into the picture. The Millenium Earl." He knew he would have to explain who that was at least, so he was happy to do that.
"The Earl is someone who uses people's grief over loved ones passing away to create Akuma." He was making sure he didn't go into too much detail into how they are made exactly... because no one really needs to know that process.
"He offered to bring Mana back and of course me being a kid and having lost someone wanted nothing but to have them back. That... was a mistake. I had instead turned them into an Akuma who was under the control of the Earl. Mana was... rightfully upset about that and so he slashed at my eye and said he cursed me... He was then told to kill me because that's how Akuma work, they still need a body or host of sorts.
That of course didn't happen since I am still very much alive but that was because my innocence activated itself because they could and in the end... I had to kill him with my own hand. But...I saved the soul in the process because that's the scary thing. Akuma are souls that are trapped... they...cry out and have no way to escape and with each level their soul dissolves a little more. He paused for a moment. he hated seeing how badly the souls got.
"The other scary thing is... people would always agree to this. To force those that have passed to be forced into a situation they didn't want to be in. That's just the way people are."
