I heard Asuka-san was attacked by those anti-monster protestors recently.

I'll admit, the more this issue is becoming prominent in the city and the more violent it's seeming to be getting, I've been feeling more than just a little worried when I'm out and about in the city. I'm constantly looking over my shoulder and feeling on edge.

Granted, the only place I've really talked about my unique situation is here and at SAI itself and I'm thankfully very 'human' presenting, but still...

... things don't feel very safe right now.

... I think the fact that you have to say "Human presenting" is a bit, umn...

Screwed up?

Like, it feels like as long as I've been at the Academy, or around Domino City, or really even around Maiami sometimes anymore, stuff like monsters walking around is actually kinda... normal? So it worries me that this is just... becoming a thing.

Hey.

What's this about "anti-monster protestors", anyway? I only picked up a bit on this in-between jobs, and doing searches just brings me to a bunch of weird think pieces and videos of guys ranting for some reason?

Yeah, it's getting real dire, Kotori.

Ailina and I are using vehicles with reinforced plating, and Ai's taking security to and from any public meetings, but I know normal people can't afford that.

I'm also doing anything to not look like "Isidora Rosencrantz" or even my normal self, specifically so I don't get hassled by these freaks.

... No one's tried to do anything to you yet, right?

I considered writing some monster positive things for Weekly Domino News to try and help calm down tensions, but after some back and forth with the idea, and the rise in violence with the protestors, we were worried they'd target our office in the city or the staff, so unfortunately, I couldn't get the go ahead.

Instead, I've been tearing down any of their propaganda posters I come across in the city.
