Cast

 * Vampire Fanatic

Summary
Years after their initial meeting the Vampire returns to the same location noticeably disheveled. She questions the Fanatic why didn't they listen to her warning. Realizing the repetition of their meeting the Vampire realizes its no coincident. The Fanatic explains they have been stalking the very same spot since their last meeting. This shocks the Vampire, prescribing madness in seeking such a dangerous creature of the night such as herself. This will be the last time they meet she ensures. Within the last couple of years, a mere moment in the long life of a vampire, the most awful of events of her life have transpired. When the Fanatic questions why she remains here she brushes it off saying it isn't that simple. When she returns the question the Fanatic remains silent.

The Vampire attempts to shrug off the silence before being asked if she's okay. She becomes disturb that a lowly human would speak so casually with a noble vampire. The very act of a human conversing with a vampire is punishable by death. She remarks how if she was in a stable mood when they first met they would of been slaughtered as soon as their shadow was spotted. But now she is only a shadow of her former self, lacking confidence and disgraced. The darkness lingering in the air continues to seeps all around her poisoning her insides. Tired of the talk she remarks how far she has deteriorated. Finding it quite funny how a madman made her realize her own madness. The Vampire then calls the Fanatic closer and closer before saying goodnight.

Vampire Fanatic
Their stalking levels are high enough to avoid detection from any other threats in the woods for the last couple of years. Their warped psyche represents a side effect of living in the Town. Providing them with minor mental defense against the mind control and the vitality to survive the Vampire's attack. Perhaps she showed some mercy?

Vampire
She seems to have been captured since they last met as she quotes her hunger and unkempt appearance. Who captured her and how did she escape?

She noted in Episode 011 that she learned of the Town through other vampires and yet she is unable or unwilling to leave. Is it because of the "darkness in the air"? Which is most likely a reference to the Fumikaze illness.
