Old muse, new journal, and mun thinks they are a hilarious punster

...I'm not laughing.

This wasn't necessary. You and I both have enough to deal with.

[What exactly he has to deal with that's not just silent angsting is anybody's guess.]

Please leave me alone.

I'm afraid privacy may be one of the modern age's surrendered concessions, Subaru-kun. It's all the social media an old man like me can't hope to understand.

[onmyoudont]

...I...suppose you're not wrong. Though I'm not sure this is quite the same thing.

[He pauses for a moment.] ...You're-- ...I've been told timelines don't quite work the same way here. I'm a little surprised to see you.

["a little" was probably an understatement.]

My, my. A practitioner caught unaware. You do the Sumeragi training a great deal of public discredit.

[onmyoudont]

At least in my experience, ghosts don't tend to raise themselves. Perhaps it's different for the Sakurazukamori.

Far from me the indiscretion of an honest answer.

[onmyoudont]

If you're not going to engage anything I say then why are you here?

[oftesserae]

Expecting disclosure on another clan's rites is, at best, greedy, Subaru-kun. And at worst... you understand.

Think of it as educating your successor, then. [His tone is bitterly frustrated.] Understandably, you didn't have time to explain much, when last we spoke.

But I'd like to know if part of the deal is that I'm going to spontaneously generate life into things other than flowers by simply existing.

A loaded question. A grieving mother can leave a spiritual footprint to outlast decades of haunting.

You would like me to give you guarantees that whatever you do in your Sumeragi exorcism or your... succession won't at any point create the same?

You'll forgive me if I acknowledge my limitations.
