[that... sure was a time, wasn't it. shirasu's not among the people who seem shaken or upset; he does seem a little distracted, though, seated somewhere in the library without actually reading anything in particular. maybe it's just that it's quiet.
whenever he spots akane, though, he gives her a nod, pausing a moment before he speaks.]
Well. What do you make of our answers, now that we have them?
[ Akane looks more confused than she does upset, so. Same boat. She comes a little closer, then stops for conversation a couple feet away. ]
They're still not much. People will get possessed and kill, and then it sounds like we have to kill them.
It's surprising that it was a kid, though. That put everyone on edge. [ which sounds more like an observation than anything she's... emotional about? Great. ]
[he's absolutely noting that, head slightly tilted, but there's no apparent judgment. also great!]
I can't help but feel that was a calculated move, honestly. If there was any choice of which of us to corrupt, of course it should be someone we'll be uncomfortable putting at risk.
[using someone like mary... it makes sense.]
On the other hand, it's made things harder on itself by ensuring we don't rule anyone out if it acts again.
That's what's bothering me. [ Not the child murder?????? Akane???? ]
If it can possess people and they don't really seem to remember doing whatever... Then it's not like we can trust each other at all. No matter how well we get to know one another, if someone gets possessed, it doesn't count for anything.

Not to mention that even the people we're tied to could turn on us.

Force us to doubt what we think we know, and enter into any future gatherings wondering if we were truly asleep all night or not...

Not much of a reassurance to us, but there could be more sense to it than there seems to be.

I'll let you know if anything comes up, if you'll share should you find something of interest.
