@pinkskick …oh. my mistake, eri.

mako was telling me you were back. and the others are too, i assume?

[ً @19thhead]

that's probably the first compliment of its kind for him.

@SHADOWEDFOUR / thats ok <3

[ً @19thhead]

@SHADOWEDFOUR / goodness gracious

[ً @19thhead]

trauma bonding IS nice.

[ً @19thhead]

if jii were here, he'd give you a whole spiel as to who i am but thankfully, we don't have to endure that.

(it's nice not having to feel like he's a lord but a regular civilian.)

i'm takeru.

(this stranger seems to understand him.)

perhaps the enjoyment comes from having control over the fear — those who don't like certain emotions may be prompted to enjoy them more when they feel in control.

but, i used to understand that mentality in part, fearing for lives constantly.

[ً @19thhead]

it's the same with horror movies. i don't find them enticing at all. i don't like the feeling of fear. i don't understand the enjoyment of it, but maybe because i fear for the lives of others and myself all the time.

[— 𝙉𝙊𝙓 。 @SHADOWEDFOUR]

a pointless thing to make fun of. regardless, i suppose some people find the thrill of being scared entertaining — hence their continued existence.

[ً @19thhead]

the others make fun of me for it, but what's there to like. if it terrifies children and its intent is to scare people, i fail to understand why we need them.

[— 𝙉𝙊𝙓 。 @SHADOWEDFOUR]

we're in a similar boat. i'm no fan of them either.

[ً @19thhead]

...

[ً @19thhead]

no, i still do not like haunted houses.

[ً @19thhead]

for now at least.

I have significantly better things to do than play babysitter, you know.

Yeah, well. As far as I know, it's not something this world has to worry about.

[ً @19thhead]

@SHADOWEDFOUR / next time next time …

[ً @19thhead]

/ saw my lil take-chan today <3

[ً @19thhead]

i have no concern over whether he hears me or not. he’s no different than a bandit. i’m familiar with the type. is he not someone you often have to supervise?

sounds like dangerous business. i recognize this ouja individual too. his murderous rampages are unwanted.

[ᅠ ᅠ 〉〉the man in magenta. @apassingbyrider]

My secondary, hm? Don't let *him* hear you call him that. You'll never hear the end of it.

Anyway, I haven't seen Kaito in quite a while... I doubt he'd come back, anyway. Last I heard, he'd gotten himself tangled up with some business with Ouja or something of the sort.

[ً @19thhead]

when we last intervened, it was due to your secondary having a tendency to take what isn’t his. i have a sneaking suspicion my attention is required.

[ᅠ ᅠ 〉〉the man in magenta. @apassingbyrider]

It is a pretty vast world, and we exist in similar circles, no? Makes sense to me.
