I'm from Ikebukuro. Saw all those damn monsters and figured if I could be useful, might as well see if this whole story stuff is real. [If not, he would have burned the book and found whoever was messing with him (and blame Izaya—honestly he probably hasn't completely disregarded the guy completely).]

But I'm Frankenstein's monster. [Said with...not the same amount of eagerness as just a few seconds ago.]
