[jail! 😸 honestly that's the vibe here, Hans looks pretty nyanchalant about this]
Well, ain't like anybody's tried all that hard, have they?
Meant what I said, though. Don't matter who it is, tomorrow we're goin' to give 'em a good show. And I'm goin' to do a proper kill, since this city wants one so meowch.
[ He has to agree with that: of the past two executions he's watched, the "villains" just sort of ... accepted the situation. He can't understand that. So Hans saying otherwise seems to cheer him up a little. ]
...good. That's how it should be. After all, you didn't do it.
I don't know too much about assassins, though. From how I understand it, assassins kill a target they're assigned. Swift and quiet. Tomorrow's a whole different playing field.
[ so he can't help but feel a little... don't make him say it. ]
Ya don't get to be an assassin an' live as long as I've done just 'cause yer quiet and fast.
[Some of that bloodlust is back in Hans' face, flashing through his eyes. Hard to say whether it fits his vibe better or whether it just goes with the cat themes.
Yeah, he's not playing around when he says he's 100% going for the kill tomorrow.]
I've been on the front lines same as anything. Who knows why, but that's what the Saint an' her underlings wanted outta me.
[He is indeed in his twenties but the average lifespan in his world depending on your walk of life is probably like. Hm. Especially nowadays.
There's a grin, Cheshire-like, bloodlust still in it.]
Meow, guess that's what you'd call it. There was somethin' about the end of the world an' we gotta kill the Demon God, but before that we gotta kill all the fiends in between. [he says this so casually but I guess the end of the world is happening in this backstory, yay] I'm just around to kill some fiends an' get some money back home. Ain't got a clue why they wanted me fer the job.
[ Ehh... the end of the world was imminent in Hanako's case too, but he had a more direct role in its coming. He's going to imagine Hans being on the opposite side, the one that wants to stop it. ]
I mean... if it's preventing the end of the world, I figured anybody's help would be welcome?
[How many of us have worldendception on our bingo cards around here by now. Probably more than three. ☆ Eh, one side or the other, it's all gonna go kaboom--]
Nyahahaha! Ya ain't wrong, but they were out there passin' over crazy powerful candidates left an' right, so I'm thinkin' the Saint an' everybody she had around was just senile.

[ right? ]

[Right?? Who knows?
This is just how Hans is, and he doesn't seem particularly bothered to protest his innocence in the face of any doubts.
He's said his piece, after all, and the next step is up to the blood gods. ☆]

Front lines, like in a war? Did you join because you wanted to...?
[ because he likes killing? because he's good at it? because he had no other choice but to become good at it? ]
