[ The only sounds in the room are the final crunches of Break's hard candy, and the scratching of his pencil. After a moment, he sets his pencil down and looks up. ]

Hmm. Good.

Now I'll tell you a little something, shall I? Although most Core-derived special abilities are fairly straightforward - the power to fly, for example - some are more subtle. Certain individuals have the ability to modulate the powers of other people. Some can enhance another person's powers. And some can negate them.

[ He takes up his pencil again - and another piece of candy. A lollipop, this time. ]

Your turn. What is "Dark Matter"?

[debtor]

It's a malignant substance, used by those who wish for the end of the world. It's the opposite of Innocence; the only thing that can destroy one is the other.

[He pauses.]

What's their limit? Can they negate any power— and for how long?

[maddeninghatter]

Their power varies, depending on the individual, of course. However--

[ He licks his lollipop once, then bites into it. ]

SERO has, shall we say, improved upon the Core's gifts. I am not aware of any power that can withstand the effects of a Void.

Now - how does this "Dark Matter" bring about the End of the World? Who might wish for such a thing, and why?

[debtor]

The Millennium Earl wishes to. His weapons are called Akuma, and he has an army of them, which he would use to destroy humanity.

But I don't understand why.

[Whatever the reason, if it's what he's been told or if it's something else entirely, it's surely not a good one.]

...Why do you work for SERO?

[maddeninghatter]

I work for SERO because it is in my interest to do so, of course~!

[ He makes some final notations on his form. ]

Well, well - this is all very fascinating.

[ Said in a manner which suggests he believes the opposite. ]

We simply must discuss this in more detail. Later. When I've got more time, I'm terribly busy today.

[ He flips his clipboard around, presenting it to Allen. ]
