❝Ah, yeah I guess that's true. Cleaning can be quite the hassle when you have too much stuff especially when I'm not always home.❞
Shiki slightly laughed to this, since she needed to do her work for Touko and help her with all sorts of odd cases, including the Supernatural.
“Sure thing! Heheh, I don’t mind at all. Besides, a simple home can be so much better than a mansion at times.”
It was a lot of work keeping such a large home clean after all.

Until then, here's a flower I grew by myself. And here's a little picture I drew of us from a long time ago. I figured you should keep it, so that there's at least something interesting to look at from up there. >

It's not too long that you disappeared from this world and left me with a no-good mother who didn't even come and see you on that day. I hope you're in a better place now. Swimming free and at peace in whatever afterlife welcomed ya. >

It's not like he escaped from it.
Beyond the fights, and the bullying, and the culling of the helpless weak⎯⎯⎯there's another reason he wanted to become the monster.

The broken shards that lie next to his feet, the passed out drunk that slept soundly ignorant of the world, following their ideals like boring sheep. That's right, he always blocked out this part, didn't he? >
⠀
⠀
Yeah, recalling these memories was never pleasant for him, was it?
It felt like being stabbed a million times through your chest, skewered and beaten worse than the feet of the hypocritical heroes. "Come on...again...?" >
⠀
⠀
"C'mon!⎯⎯⎯⎯" lofty goals that people like him could only jealously watch, for the weak could do nothing but be denied of it. "Damnit, it's not fair!"
"He was just trying to defend the forest from people who kept cutting his trees! Why did you do it, Justice Man?!" >

⠀
With his television and these dreams and aspirations that clung to him like a tattered cape of hope and a thirst for justice, the word 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 was nothing more than an obstacle made by the fortunate elite to enforce lofty goals people like him could never reach. >
