We were going to give her a choice! And if she wanted to just be herself and keep her life, we'd figure everything else out with Tengen. [ ... ] That was how it should have been.
Suguru delivered her, so he likely extended it like we promised. It doesn't change that she's dead, but... I don't know. Maybe she was happy in the end.
[ Like a fairytale. He rubs his neck. ]
She wouldn't want us getting sad over it and I know she'd call me gross. We have to live life to the fullest!
[ alas, the spooky shadow-hands emerge once more, and they're pulled into another memory!
in the dead of night, kate and her companions confront a shadow-woman and her partner. when asked to explain themselves for the trouble they've caused, they say they have no time left. they've been invited.
[ Lord... Satoru blinks as this comes into view, then things are explained. The parallels are very uncanny here and he wonders if Tengen has ever deliberated over adopting a new body like this. How many have been erased?
Same with these dolls... For shadows? ]
Sorry, sorry.
[ Since she's young... And memories for a young girl must be very precious. ]
... Emilico is a cheerful girl who draws people in with her warmth and kindness. Shaun is thoughtful and clever. Ricky has a gentle heart, and Lou is perceptive of others' feelings...

You don't need to apologize.

That's still a lot to learn. [ ... ] This all makes sense with how you answered. That's the path you're going to take, too?
[ No erasing. ]
no subject
If that's the cost of gaining a face, then I'd rather stay like this forever.

[ The sooting is part of it, he guesses. ]
You have dolls, right?

They sound like good kids, too. I'm almost a little jealous.

Shaun is John's attendant, as is Ricky with Patrick, Lou with Louise, and Emilico with me.
[ one of these things is not like the others. ]
no subject
Your guys' names don't match like the rest of your group.
no subject
... I didn't, though. I wanted Emilico to be her own person, separate from me.

[ But this is even more supernatural than where he's from. It's interesting. ]
But wow... There's even a system to this? Do all shadows do this or only your house?
