Durarara!! Light Novel Volume 11/Intermediate Chapter

"Kasane Kujiragi might be human, and she might not. ...I can only guarantee that she is not an angel."

- Shinichi Tsukumoya

Nowhere Wo(Man) is the first chapter of the eleventh Durarara!! light novel and serves as a segue from the previous volume.

Synopsis
Shinichi Tsukumoya, in his private blog, writes about the history of Kasane Kujiragi, her relationship to Ruri Hijiribe, and her upbringing. Though she is not much older than Ruri herself, she is Ruri's biological aunt. Kasane was sold at childbirth to Jinnai Yodogiri and raised apart, molded into a manipulator by her keeper, and at some point acquiring Saika. She kept the influential name Jinnai Yodogiri alive after the man's death out of convenience, until just recently, when she was freed of his identity by Izaya Orihara. Even Tsukumoya has no idea what Kasane will do next.

Quotes
Tsukumoya: "Her life is spent devouring people and monsters, as Jinnai Yodogiri. She didn't ask for it. She just didn't know any other way to live."

Tsukumoya: "If Izaya Orihara is a natural villain, then Kujiragi is a miscreant built by human hands."

Tsukumoya: "When it came to the way she treated Ruri Hijiribe, there might have been some personal sentiment involved. Just think about it. A woman who has the same blood as her, chasing her dreams and leading a brilliant life in the spotlight. It makes sense that she'd want to to torment and toy with such a woman, right? Just roll her right down into hell."
