[ Abel sits on top of his bed, legs tucked beneath him. It'd look meditative, if he wasn't surrounded by candy wrappers and a half-sewn lion plushie. ] I'm having trouble fighting a certain type of...Shadow. Visceral Mara, I think it's their name. [ Or so says this dossier. ]

...I need a partner to fight these things. I promise I won't slow you down. [ Abel trusts he doesn't look like someone who can't fight. ] I've been doing well against the Shadows that aren't immune to physical attacks.

I'd...appreciate any sort of help. [ He grabs at the phone, blocking the camera's view with a scarred, blurry palm, until he mutters something in French. ]

I almost forgot. [ His tone shifts into steely seriousness. ] ...there's a woman Juri Han who arrived not too long ago. Please, try to avoid her, and if you can, don't fight her. She's... [ A pause. ] ...not your typical fighter.

Thank you.

Seems like kind of a dangerous way to learn about it... Although I have to admit that I wouldn't know where else to start.

I'm a mercenary. This job is easy in comparison to what I usually do.

Being able to handle oneself in this sort of situation doesn't mean one has to seek out danger.

So what do you do out there, do you just beat those things up until it's over?

Sometimes seeking danger to find info is worth it.

...something like that. But it hasn't gone well with certain of those...Shadows, so I've asked for some help.
