Editing Demon: Berlin/Herr Hymne (section)

===Five Questions===
''Who did you share part of yourself with when you first Fell?''<br>
Stefan Zeitblom listened, uncomprehending, as Tomas Leverkuehn suddenly came to understand what had become of him; the ideologue chalked it up to a nervous temperament at the time, but something about the look in the composer's eyes has stayed with.<br>
<br>
''Who doesn’t know, but suspects you’re not human?''<br>
Max Loos, a West Berlin intellectual & critic, who has on occasion collaborated with Leverkuehn on several essays, at first appreciated his colleague's peculiar and singular perspective on matters aesthetic, but has come to believe that that peculiarity is down to something more than mere obsession.<br>
<br>
''Who would you trust the truest part of yourself with if you absolutely had to?''<br>
Since coming over to the West, Hymne has become close with the Confessor, one of the Restorationists---a loose clique of Demons convinced that the God-Machine was somehow broken during the war, and that it requires repair. Though he has thus far maintained a reasonable degree of discretion, Hymne is more and more convinced that the two of them are fundamentally simpatico.<br>
<br>
''Who could give you up to the angels right now, if they really wanted to?''<br>
Herr Kommissar has been aware of Tomas Leverkuehn's appearance and use of Zeitblom since almost the beginning. A direct response to the God-Machine's plans had been in the works when Leverkuehn/Hymne fell, but this did not end Herr Kommissar's interest in or concern with him.<br>
<br>
''Who thinks they have something on you, when all they really have is smoke and mirrors?''<br>
Lt. Hanno Popper of the Bundesgrenzshut is convinced that some of those who have escaped from East Berlin are, in fact, DDR (or even KGB!) agents sent over the wall to spy on the west, and especially its dissident community. Given Leverkuehn's strange habits and interest in radio transmission, one could forgive Popper for getting the wrong idea.
