The four of them filed out of the police station in a rather orderly manner 
(with a prod of rod from the police that is). The embassy of international 
relations had said, "give them a tour, but they are dangerous and must not 
be let alone at any time", and nothing more.

They were driven to their destination, Ken extremely boredly drumming his 
fingers against the window, Yuki sitting patiently staring out of the 
window, Hyde watching the front of the car intently, and Tetsu pretending 
that he was driving. (toyota.. "get out of your old shoes!" starts playing 
as BGM ^_~)

They reached a gray building after a rather long drive. Tetsu had gotten 
bored of driving by then, and was asleep. Hyde watched him enviously, 
wishing he could have the luxury of that, but he just couldn't. He was drove 
near-insanity by the grayness of the city. Those were nothing like the 
trees, the magical place which they lived in. The fog was thick, and 
everyones' faces could not be seen. If he were to pass a judgement.. Well, 
they would be better off dead.

The building was huge, and tall, much like any other. Inside was many 
capsules, all of them filled with deathly-white faces. Hyde wrinkled his 
nose as he gazed at the faces, all of them as dead as anything. Dead... . He 
guess he hated death. This was what civilization symbolized-- death.

"Don't their families visit them?" Yuki asked, looking at the horror on the 
faces of those who were going to be injected with poison.

"No, kinship is useless in our society. They are busy trying to earn their 
own livings."

"You know... They are really better off dead," Ken murmured.

"High efficiency," the police officer ignored them. "We need efficiency for 
the country to be able to keep up with the times."

"Efficiency.. .Is more important than living as a human?" Tetsu asked, 
somewhat incredulous.

"Yes. WIthout efficiency there is no life. We will not be able to earn 
enough to support ourselves."

"Let's kill them... shall we?" Yuki glanced at Tetsu again.

Tetsu lowered his eyes. "I don't know. Let's finish the tour, okay?"

Yuki clenched his fists and nodded, his lips set in a grim line.
