Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.

When Nenet took his hand and asked for his patron, her thumbnail pressing into the palm as if to cut him, Zev did not answer right away. A full retelling of the story would reveal much more than his connection to Necrozma.[break][break]
His involvement in Team Rocket, for example.[break][break]
And Nenet was a curious woman; she would not be satisfied until she knew every detail. On one hand, disclosing everything to her would put himself at risk. Knowledge that he was an assassin (a murderer) was one matter, but knowledge that he was a high-ranking member of a terrorist organization? Zev did not know how she would take the news.[break][break]
On the other hand, she had grasped him gently, ignoring the violence he'd just wreaked on the Megalopolans to ask questions about him. He recalled, not for the first time, how she'd stuck with him through the lies.[break][break]
How she'd proposed marrying him. Her little "please" when she'd asked him to accept.[break][break]
"Necrozma," Zev said at last. He didn't know the extent of Nenet's familiarity with the abomination, but the attack on Sootopolis known as the Darkest Day had happened around the same time as her arrival to Hoenn.[break][break]
And of course, the news in the latter half of last year had been full of reports from Necrozma's attacks on Galar. If she had paid attention, she would have heard of the devastation it caused there.[break][break]
"My organization received a request for help from a person in League custody who previously had this same power. He wanted it gone. An associate of mine and I broke him out, temporarily, to remove the crystals. As a result of the successful procedure, they transferred to me instead."[break][break]
Gently, Zev lifted Nenet's hand to stop her thumb from pressing into his palm—but just enough so he could cover his hand in void-black crystal once more. It only extended a little past his wrist.[break][break]
The surface was not one whole crystal but, instead, made of countless shard-like facets that barely gleamed in the light. Each facet was smooth, except for what covered his fingers, which narrowed to razor-sharp points like claws. These he kept away from her skin so as not to cut her.[break][break]
He released her hand so she could examine the crystal to her heart's content. "Careful," he warned. "Whatever hits it with enough force breaks on impact. I don't want you to hurt yourself by accident."
