Memory 19: Encouragement from Yuuki

Memory goes here through Page 22. Skip parts without Zero.

What he learns?
- Him and Yuuki are working together again, even though she's a vampire now. This makes him feel much better about whatever differences they apparently had in the past. He still feels conflicted about it in this memory, but just seeing her smile... That's what matters. She still trusts him. And vice-versa. Yay.
- He's also become a lot more "obedient" according to the headmaster. Unsuuuure.
- Kaname's trying to kill all the pureblood? WTF?
- And he has no problem with it and no interest in stopping him...
- Kaname's doing this for Yuuki?

What this means in Aather?

While he's very much relieved that him and Yuuki are on better terms, though still not entirely as close as they used to be, he's more unnerved by his total lack of interest in pursuing Kaname during his genocide of the purebloods. While Zero hates what Shizuka did to his family and hates her entirely, he has no reason to hate all of the purebloods. Also, he doesn't understand why Kaname would say he's doing this for Yuuki. It doesn't add up. Are they endangering her? Yuuki would not want this... There's also the issue that he can tell he doesn't *entirely* want Kaname to do this but part of him feels he should step aside. He's not sure if this is the Hunter in him or what. Plus, that sense of animosity toward Kaname that he still can't place...

Memory 20: Hunter Rules

Memory goes here through Page 20.

What he learns?
- He lives by himself now? In one of the headmaster's apartments?
- The headmaster's aura feel almost like a vampire's... Does this have something to do with the story the headmaster told him as a child about being more than 200 years old? Is there really some truth in that?
- The headmaster did something that turned the Association against him? To the point of trying to imprison him? He's on some type of probation...
- He's still in school for the headmaster and that older Hunter.
- He knows he's not safe enough to stay in the dorms anymore. His only means of controlling himself is to hunt vampires at nigt for the Association. But... it's not enough.
- Hunters can apparently only kill vampires on specific lists. So that's what the ex-humans are...
- This must be after he saved that child. It sounds like they were after her on someone else's orders. What does that mean?
- It's good they were also on the list. Which means his past self followed these Hunter rules closely. That's a relief.
- He takes about as many pills at home as he takes in Aather. He already knows the other vampires never had to take so much... But it's only recently that he became able to take them. Why?

What this means in Aather?
Mostly his focus is on why he recently became able to take the blood tablets since this could explain why they aren't as effective as they are for other vampires. This also clears up why he has his hunting impulses whenever he's really, really upset. It's... another form of bloodlust. He'll have to be careful with that since he knows he feels it strongest around dark non-humans, especially those with sinister intent.
