Is it normal to feel... better? After venturing into another dimension? Like... you hadn't ever fully taken a breath until you were there? And even now you feel lighter?

[Private to Kou]

Hey, uh. You wanna meet up somewhere? I got stuff to talk about. ... too much stuff.

"Mm. Alright. I ain't no expert yet, but as far as I can tell, he thinks someone is 'masking' which is a spirit thinking they're someone else. Which, fair. Probably some around here."

She takes a deep breath.

"That's the start. Those sigils could be used for a smaller ritual and forcibly seperate them."

She taps some other sigils.

"With the way this is constructed, he could conceivably do that, but over a huge swath of Domino. At least.

... I got his notes while he dueled to save both of us from some Gravekeepers."

*he flips through more of the notes, looking at the sigils. anything with sigils isn't good news*

Gravekeepers? Why were you dealing with Gravekeepers at all?

And what purpose do you think he'd have for setting up something so... big?

"I went with him on a crazy adventure to a forbidden site on the island. We almost got buried alive, but he dueled them and took them out.

... I dunno. Make sure he gets the right person? Maybe cause the most chaos, since anyone fused with a spirit might get exorcised or seperated. I was gonna check and see what it'd do to a full spirit eventually."

Okay, first of all: Don't experiment with exorcism circles.

Second: Why would he want to do that...?

*flip flip*

There's some stuff about "focal points". Does he want to try to trap someone?

"Maybe. Maybe lots of people. Could be you or anyone else stalking him. Is there anyone else he's super interested in?

... I meant more like, confirm with people more knowledgable than me. I'm good for someone who's been at this a few months, but there're people who've been doing this longer than me."

Still... *hnming, he closes up the notes*

Did anything else happen during this whole excursion that happened? Anything you can note at all?

"Let's see, he uses Burning Abyss. He's real weird, turns on badassery like he's got a switch to go from dangerous to this bumbling idiot. ... I don't think he's a bad dude, honestly. But... He had a monster I'd never seen. A big whale that was scary enough it made the Gravekeeper Chief surrender.

I got a really bad feeling from it. So did they. Even if there's part of me that wants to believe he's just a weirdo, after seeing that, I... don't know."

... A... Did you say a "big whale"?

She nods.

"Black. Glowed purple a little? It was pretty high up there, and I was scribbling down those notes so I didn't really want to look at the thing that was probably saving my skin. Even if it was creepy as shit."

*oh no he has that really tired look again, but then he shakes his head*

That's... That's very important information, yes.

I've got an idea of things, but... I'll need to reconvene with someone to talk it over.

I'd really recommend you stay away from him from now on.

"... I'm afraid I can't do that. If I stop hanging out with him now, it's gonna be super obvious I was spying on him. Then the guy he knows is stalking him suddenly has a better idea of what's going on?

No, no. That's gonna pass the buck right to me and get me eaten by a whale or a demon. Besides, he's my best way to do the only thing that's made me excited in my life besides dueling or being the best."

And what exactly is that, that's gotten you excited?

"Investigating duel spirit ruins and myths. Archeology? It's fascinating. ... also occult stuff definitely helps with some of my other irons in the fire."

Well...

I'm just going to say, don't get too attached to him being able to take you on things on that, or showing you things like that.

*he says that like Tarou's gonna die.*

"... you're gonna kill the guy, aren't ya?"

She runs a hand through her hair and then sighs.

"I get it. He's probably doing some pretty heinous things, I ain't here to defend him. But... I dunno. It feels a little off, is all. Like he's a nerd in over his head."

*rggh...*

... I can at least say that I'm not going to kill him. Probably, unless he tries pulling something to kill me first. But I doubt he's going to if he can avoid it himself.

It's just... if what he's tied up in is right, anything I do might cause him to not be around anymore, as an effect. It might be unavoidable.

"I know. He picked his path, Kou. Ya gotta stop him. Me too. I'll see what else I can pick up."

She stretches.

"Ya need anything else?"

... yeah.

If you see him trying to do something that screams "stupid" or "risky" to you, and if you do actually care about how this turns out...

Try and convince him to stop, he might at least listen.

Preferably without hand-carved arrows, please.

"Yeah. ... I think I can do that.

This ain't no anime, I don't think I can save him with the power of friendship or whatever, but if I can talk him out of something crazy, I gotta try."

Good.

Cause I have a feeling he's going to do something pretty crazy. I'm just not sure for what reason, yet.
