Already thinking of 'event-like' things

[kingofnightmares]

No. No. No.

He will be never coming back, and you know this. I refuse to let something like that happen to me in the near future. I will not be reduced to... to that!

That isn't who I am anymore. You know that. Th-That's not even me!

Shouldn't you be waiting by your inbox?

[anotherchopsuey]

So... have you changed a lot?

[kingofnightmares]

I suppose.

[pauses]

I suppose you could say I was a completely different person back then.

[anotherchopsuey]

And how do you suppose, have you changed for better or worse?

[looks at him attentively]

[kingofnightmares]

[Pitch frowns a little.]

How should I know? I remember nothing about my mortal self.

[He only knows what his Mun has told him, which isn't much.]

[anotherchopsuey]

Are you half mortal?

[He looks at him even more attentively and curiously. Kouichi hasn't had a lot of contact with that kind of creatures, he experienced it only by few times]

[kingofnightmares]

No. I am not mortal at all. I'm a spirit.

[anotherchopsuey]

Oh.

[He's shocked. This guy doesn't look like a spirit... not at all]

But aren't spirits... pellucid?

[kingofnightmares]

I can be only seen by a select few. [He says as he gestures to him.] If people believe in me enough that is, or feels fear.

Then again, I'm not always in the physical realm.

[anotherchopsuey]

[ DEJA VU.

“What if you're the only one who can see me?“ - these words came to his mind and he recalls the whole odd situation with non-existent girl... is this happening again? But in this case that mysterious guy isn't seen only by Kouichi, but also a few other people...]

Can you control over people's fears?

[deductiongeek]

Who was that?

[kingofnightmares]

That is none of your concern. He's no one for all you know.

[deductiongeek]

[The boy makes a thoughtful sound.]

Is that so? But he must be someone important to you or you wouldn't have mentioned him.

[Never tell a detective that they can't know something. They'll just get even more interested.]

[kingofnightmares]

He isn't important to me.

[Darn kids and their snooping.]

As I said before. He's none of your concern.

[deductiongeek]

Then why were you talking about him?

[kingofnightmares]

Because my mun was bothering me with pictures of him.

[deductiongeek]

And why was your mun doing that?

[kingofnightmares]

To irritate me to no end.

[deductiongeek]

Was that necessary? You seem very easy to irritate.

[kingofnightmares]

She finds enjoyment in it.

Everyone seems to.

[deductiongeek]

That's fairly typical for muns. They're never happy unless we're miserable.
