So. Kidnapping women and children, and then building snowmen for us to play with! [The laughter rises and falls eerily, choking past their gritted teeth.] Oh, how rich! Well, at least you can say you put a smile on our face! We’ll wring your necks while we chuckle about it!

[They pause for a moment, claws scraping against the floor.] We must admit, we've never seen moving snowmen before... [They're still lurking around Hel's district, scrutinizing the bracelet with a particularly nasty flash of their teeth.]

Needless to say, we still aren't impressed.

Precisely. Such a smart boy! Your parents must be proud.

... thank you very much, Venom-san.

Ne -- Venom-san's pretty unusual in his world, right? You're probably pretty famous?

Why, you could say that, yes! With so many other superheroes crawling about, however, we aren't quite as unusual as one might think!

[...]

You're a superhero, Venom-san?

That does sound a bit like bragging, doesn't it? [So flippant.]

Not if I'm asking the question, I think! You help people in New York City?

We do! That's the most important thing--even more important than our desire for vengeance. Keeping the innocents safe is our duty--our strength and skills shouldn't be used selfishly!

...

Why do you desire vengeance?

There was a man that ruined our life. Destroyed everything we loved and held dear.

-- ah.

Grim, isn't it? Let's talk about more cheerful things.

Right!

Uh -- have you visited the library yet, Venom-san?

We haven't! What district is that in? We can hardly tell where we are right now...

Odin district, I hear.

Um, assuming you're in Hel, you'll want to head North ...

North it is. Is it a reasonable size?

I think so! Reputation says it's pretty good.

Good! Nothing like a nice read to distract oneself... Of course, finding a way out is going to be our first priority.

How are you going to do that, Venom-san?

Exploring every inch of this city is the most important thing, of course. It can't just stop, now can it? If that doesn't work, well, we'll have to see about chatting up these so-called gods!

You're going to be very busy, Venom-san.

We don't do well when we aren't, let's just put it that way!

... ah.

Well, let me know if you run short of things to investigate!

The same to you! We are partners now, of a sort! [They laugh to themselves.]

That's very kind, Venom-san!

[And I thought the shounen-tantei was a bad idea ...]

Nonsense! We get all perfectly well, so what's the harm? [And this way, they can keep an eye on you!]
