[ But whee, shadows are back, and Mathis going to find himself in a cold, terrible morgue.
You saw Haibara a few days ago, and now he's dead. He was one year younger than you.
Behind you, you can hear the heartbreak and betrayal in Nanami's voice. They were sent on a mission that was impossible for them to complete, because cursed spirits are plenty, but sorcerers are scarce. Nanami asks why they can't leave every battle to Satoru, as if he could be everywhere all at once. As if he deserved a life of nothing but violence.
But you can't blame him either. It's the responsibility that goes along with your power, and even if you would give anything for a different reality, you just have to bear it. ]

[it's a nearly choked little sound, after seeing that scene. the morgue, the body, the sense that goes with it, that weight.
he-- realizes he's never really asked what geto did, back home, but seeing this...
mathis isn't surprised that he hasn't brought it up on his own.]
What... what happened to him-?
no subject
He was killed by a cursed spirit. It happens sometimes to sorcerers like us.

Ah- no. There are lots of different types of curses. My worm is a low grade one, it's not dangerous, especially like this.

Nah, it's pretty harmless. Just kind of ugly.
