practicality

Oh. You see people too?

Oh good! I thought it was just me.

Well, the souls of the dead are supposed to walk the earth during the festival, so like I said, not surprised. And they seem a lot happier than the last bunch of dead people I saw here

More common than back home, anyway.

And no need to apologize - I was a bit startled myself, the first time I spotted them, and my job has made me very difficult to surprise.

Well, formally I'm the weaponsmaster and head of the department of Administrative Research, of the ShinRa Electric Power Company - in practice, black ops, mostly. Though lately that's kind of narrowed down to intel and bodyguard work, really.

Yourself?

Heh. Well, the title's designed to impress, even if it's a bit unwieldy for everyday use.

Exorcist? Do you work for a temple, or...?

Well, there's much about my world that seems strange to outsiders as well. Sounds like you have an interesting job, though.

Ah, sorry. I seem to be a bit scattered today. My name is Tseng.

A pleasure.
