"There was only three of us. Sunai only get created when there's a tragedy that's filled with enough death to upset the balance of how things should be. That doesn't happen all the time." Terrible events like that thankfully didn't happen every day, which is why they were the rarest of the monster types. "Exactly. I can see the state of a person's soul, whether something has darkened it enough to the point where it can't remain pure anymore." He doesn't tell Curufin what his looks like. He suspects he's already cognizant enough to know.
He listens to what Curufin's world is like. He's never heard of Elves or Dwarves before, but then, Leo's never been one much for fantasy literature. He prefers non-fiction. The one thing that he finds really interesting is the idea of sentient trees. He's not sure if that would be terrifying or amazing to look at. "That sounds like quite a world. Mine isn't nearly quite so varied. There's only humans and the three types of monsters: Corsai, Malchai, and Sunai."
"I know. I thought it was strange too." That gets a bit of a smile out of him. He hadn't expected to wake up in a silent town after dying. If he was going to wake up at all, he expected it would have been wherever it was monsters had come before they ended up on Earth. "I don't know that much about the monsters. We were never given too much information on them, since the natives didn't really understand them either, only that they had been around a long time."
He goes on to explain about himself a little bit more. "I'm a Sunai monster. We look human most of the time, but we eat the souls of sinners to survive. By playing a piece of music, I can entrance someone long enough to take their soul." Most people might be disturbed by this piece of information, so he wonders how the Elf will take it. "Yes, the two of them are human. Sinners too, but I've never been tempted to take their souls." That was unusual for Leo, who generally had a much more black and white view of sinners. He'd thought about taking their souls as he did for every other sinner he'd met, but Leo had been lonely enough when he met them to latch onto them as family instead.
