[gimu]

i shall.
what
what does it mean if it starts hurting? again?

[picky]

I mean, it shouldn't at all, but you got a head injury. That's pretty serious. I'm just making double sure.

[gimu]

[ his heart sort of scoots up an extra size ]

i understand. all is well on that front, in any case.

thank you for your concern, aneesan.

[picky]

[ Oh, there it is again, maybe! ]

Is that different from oneesan??

[gimu]

a little. ‘ane’ is a form of respect in regards to one’s own sister. ‘onee’ is what one uses in regards to A sister or someone else’s. generally

(and ane isnt supposed to have a ‘san’ at the end bc j jumped the gun hee hee hoo hoo)

[picky]

( i saw nothing )

Oh... so when Yuji called me oneesan, he wasn't saying that I was HIS sister?
Well, that's okay, but
Are you saying I'm YOUR sister?

[gimu]

if you are his oneesan then you are mine as well.

nice to meet you

[picky]

Nice to meet you
As your sister, I guess

[ They've already met, but she's just going with this. Hopefully that's what he means, and hopefully Toji meant that Marcille is like his sister. She'll have to ask him about it later.

Her heart is so warm despite the little curl of fear inside of it. It's fine. ]

Yuji talked about me?

[gimu]

yes. he worries for you.

[picky]

Me???
He should worry about himself with everything he's been through!

[gimu]

exactly so.
but yuji will always worry for another before he thinks of himself.

[picky]

I figured as much with everything he told me
Even though he doesn't think of himself first, he puts a lot of blame on himself too.

Choso, did all of those things really have to happen to him?
He's so young!

[gimu]

have to? no. none of it should have happened in the first place.

i do not know how to bring him to believe that none of it was truly his fault.

[picky]

I know. I wish there was an easy way.
I tried too, but he brushed it off pretty quick

[gimu]

yuji is good. if i say it enough to him, perhaps one day he will believe it.

thank you for trying, too. i fear that i must avail of you to continue trying.

[picky]

He is good! I hope he can see that someday
You're a good brother too!
And I was already going to keep trying for sure. You're not putting me out or anything

[gimu]

[ a bubble of warmth, drifting to the surface. it has him ducking his head, wherever he is, examining the feeling. ]

thank you marcille
you, too, are good.
i am most grateful we met

[picky]

[ Her feelings tangle: guilt, confusion, frustration at herself, and happiness.

She herself is sitting on her bed, knees brought up to her chest, arms secured around them. She stares at her lap. ]

I'm grateful that we met too.
I heard you say that before too, when we were going to the onsen.
Is it really okay to say that I'm good? You and I really don't know each other that well.

[gimu]

i have seen what “evil” is like. how it acts. how it smiles. i have heard what it sounds like. i have seen the consequences of its passage.

you are none of those things.

if there was no goodness in you, we would not be having this conversation in the first place.

[picky]

[ She wipes her eyes on her wrist and sniffs. ]

What do you mean, "you've seen evil?"

1/?

[gimu]

[ this would be an excellent place to crap out and fall back on pleasant generalizations to soothe a sad heart, but choso knows nothing of these tricky steps in the dance of Real People Interaction.

so he sits up wherever he is, staring into space with a furrowed intensity while he pulls the memories from him like wreckage from a lake. ]

On October 31, 2018, a group of curses conspired to capture and seal away the greatest sorcerer of the era in hopes that by tipping the scales, humanity could be supplanted by curses. How much of this was true is unknown. In the ensuing battles, the lives of countless humans were los

[gimu]

were used as ammunition against this sorcerer, not in a bid to defeat him, but to push him into a corner, morally. These curs

[gimu]

we
killed an unknown number just in the course of leading him to the ideal placement for the seal.

after the goal was met, we were free to wander where we wished.

this is when yuji was driven t

[gimu]

when i pushed yuji to the brink of death

allowing the other curses to awaken the king of curses held in his body

[gimu]

which led to the destruction of a major ward of tokyo
and the deaths of the countless humans we trapped within it

evil has many faces marcille
yours is not one of them
