Kuro listened intently to Krov's complaints. However, deep inside, he felt something strange. It seemed as though before Priscilla could demonstrate 'something', Kuro had this gut feeling to escape immediately-- almost as if he didn't want to see what was coming. Priscilla's words were ominous at best, and Kuro only wanted to interpret it in the way that his morality would see it fit-- as long as it isn't Necromancy. But... what if Priscilla did mean necromancy? The title of Skull Queen didn't probably just signify that Priscilla could bash skulls in. In a long time, he hadn't seen anyone who has used Necromancy. Was it because they were scared of his distaste or no one was just talented enough? Kuro shivered at the thought of Necromancy, but if Priscilla, an ancient, was the one who did it, then, he had no choice but to accept such abomination and monstrosity. 

The vampire shook his head of these thoughts as he regained his focus on Krov's complaint. Kuro nodded gently as Krov finished his litany. "I totally agree with you. Chiyo-chan is indeed very... liberated. I believe that the trials that every vampire faced is no joke. We lived in the shadows, and we are annihilated in the light. However, we cannot let the past chain and trap us. Chiyo-chan is just trying to let you understand that the events in the past are already done, and we cannot change them. Although her method isn't the most decent or effective, it brings out a certain truth: . Instead, we use our past to build our future. Did your loved ones suffer in the past? Then, use that experience to build a future where no one suffers needlessly." Kuro spoke as he sat near Krov. "Believe me when I tell you that I know your pain. Living through different war periods... Nobunaga burning down Enryaku-ji, and slaughtering countless children and women. It was painful to watch, ya know? I watched my loved ones die over and over again for one thousand years. Do you know how painful that is? The malady is maddening, but I didn't let the past chain my future. I decided to live a new undead life."

Kuro nodded his head, standing up and dusting his kimono in the process.

"Chiyo just wanted you to realize that the past ain't that useful now. In fact, it's because of past beliefs that this war even broke out. It's time for a new tradition, Krov. New beginnings, new beliefs. It doesn't matter how much water is inside a cup, if you keep holding it for a long period of time, it's going to get heavier and heavier until you have no choice but to let it go. That goes the same way for our past. If we keep storing it in our system, it's going to weigh us down, and hinder our growth. Ya still got a thousand or more years to live, Krov. Who knows? You might even become an ancient. Do you think you can keep those burdens within you for a millennium? You might be able to, but it will be a rough road ahead." Kuro now turned around, facing the shack. "Don't think too much on Chiyo-chan's jokes. She's just extremely sarcastic, but once you get to know her soft side, you'll realize that she's the most caring person you can find. We're your family now, Krov. It's okay to rely on us, the same way that we would also rely on you."

Kuro closed his eyes as he sniffed in the cold air. "You might wanna go back inside now. Hisako might ask you guys to hunt some humans." Kuro smiled as he slowly walked towards the shack. 

Upon arriving there, he saw Greyson and Hisako. Greyson was already in good shape.

"Onee-chan! Good to see ya healthy and blooming! Ya leadin' them to a hunt, Hisako-pyon?"
