I probably don't need to tell you, but just be careful. Spirits and curses aren't to be taken lightly, though I'm sure Shindou can protect you. If something happens, I'll be too far away to save you.~

[ But, at his question, she hums thoughtfully. ]

...I'd like to. But I'd like for Poppy to voice her preference, too.

[something. . . sobers in his expression at her reminder, though he does nod along with her words]

. . . I'd like to be good enough so he doesn't have to.

[. . .]

[ordimame]

[but he perks up seconds later!]

I can't imagine a world in which she wouldn't want to. You guys finally talked about your curses, right?

[irreversal]

[ she nods ]

We did. Last week, at the onsen. She... took it well. Told me she wouldn't have held it against me if I never told her, but... I'm glad that I did.

[ordimame]

[. . . good]

Do you think she sees all of you now. . .?

[irreversal]

...Mmh. Yeah. It's— a start. But it's a good one.

[ She hums thoughtfully. ]

I want her to see what my life is like at home, at some point. Maybe not right away - when things are safer.

[ordimame]

[his smile fades]

Ah. . . are they not safe right now, then?

[irreversal]

[ She makes a sort of dithering noise. ]

Well, all the higher-ups from before are dead, so there's that. I'm sure the big sorcerer clans are a complete mess after everything, too. What we'll do about all the wards... Plus all the damage Sukuna caused in Shibuya and Shinjuku... The government having to figure out a narrative now that the general population knows about curses...

[ SHRUGS. ]

The immediate danger is gone, but. I'm sure things will be a bit chaotic for a while. Man, it sure was nice to be away for a couple weeks...
