Akira and Ayaka moved quickly through the empty streets, with Ayaka setting a brutal pace that would have left the old Akira gasping for breath. But now, with his enhanced physique, he kept up easily.
"What exactly is a Lust-Type Gate?" Akira asked as they ran.
"Think of it as a Siren Gate," Ayaka explained without breaking stride. "The entities inside don't fight with claws and fire… they fight with desire. They project illusions of what you want most, what you crave, and they use that to drain your life force until you're an empty husk."
"So they're psychological predators."
"Worse. They're effective against people with strong desires or unresolved sexual tension. They find what you want and give it to you, over and over until you're nothing but a dried-out corpse with a smile on your face."
"So basically, they're custom-built to fuck and fuck with me."
"In multiple senses of the word, yes."
They rounded a corner, and Akira stopped dead in his tracks.
