hey. you can tell me things too. i promise i'll do my best to be understanding.
[ does it sound too desperate? does it sound too plaintive? he's trying. he doesn't know how to do this, how to be honest and open with other people. he knows how to beat his problems with his fists, but talking things out?
[Even if none of Megumi's voice is used, he can hear every word in the other teen's tone. Then he's hit with the larger volume of what's going on here, it's trust. Megumi doesn't think Hikaru trusts him and it stirs the entity enough the sorcerer can probably feel it through the wall if he's home. They're the only two out in this wing of the area, after all.
He does trust him, right? But what if his trust isn't enough? What if he actually has no choice but to destroy a good portion of the people here just to survive? Not the body, which is very important to him, but the entity itself.]
Yeah.
[For all that inner monologue that's what comes back.]
You ever just been friends with a curse or ghost or whatever, probably a curse? Like you found a really cool one and they're just really awesome but also a curse?
you mean someone who isn't entirely human? or not human at all? some of the best people i know aren't human. some of the worst are all too human.
i wouldn't judge someone too harshly for not being human. it's not like we can all control the circumstances of our existence.
[ he thinks of yuji and choso, thinks of the geto he knows back home, of kenjaku and his horrific abuses. the evil that people bear come in all shapes and sizes. sometimes what is outward is the only good thing there is about someone. ]
is there someone like that for you? are you worried about them?

I'm worried about the people around them. It loses control every so often, even if it doesn't want to kill them.
