Haruto listened closely as the girl spoke, taking the time to think back to all of the creatures he'd seen since arriving. "No. None of them sound familiar. I haven't seen anyone who looks anything like that. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing for you." He couldn't be sure exactly how this girl knew of those creatures -- if they were things normal from her world or something like the Phantoms were for him.

Since they were on the topic of strange creatures, however...

"I'm sort of looking for something specific too, but I don't know how to describe them. They disguise themselves as humans, but their true forms are all pretty different..." He reached up with one hand to rub at the back of his head. "Anyway, if you ever happen to see someone who has a purple crack in their skin," Haruto motioned to his face for emphasis, "find me as soon as possible. It looks like the person's going to break or dissolve. It's a ... condition... where I'm from. I'm the only person here who could stop it."

It felt strange to admit something about Gates and Phantoms so openly, but Haruto really was far more concerned with protecting people than hiding information.
