I’m mobile pretend this is texting font

[onerous]

No. The camera I use is rather antique, though, from the early 1800s I think. The photos sometimes turn out a little grainy because of it.

[She knows he sees them, but:]

The mountain I lived on was a scene of a lot of death. Sometimes those left behind linger.

Are they no good?

[wantsnudes]

No, they're beautiful. I simply didn't realise this was quite what you meant when you said "post-mortem photography" -- I've never seen anything like it.

[onerous]

I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to trick you. Most people don’t believe in these sorts of things, even with evidence. The type of post-mortem photography I talked about is a little less strange than saying “I can see and take pictures of spirits.”

I didn't want you to think I was too weird.

I know each of those spirits. I don’t think they’d mind too much if their pictures were on display. [Okay Shiragiku in the doll shrine would probably have quite a few snarky things to say, but she always did, so that didn’t count.]

I guess I just wanted a friend? Either way, I shouldn’t have lied. Sorry.

[Even if it was less lying and more just. Obscuring the truth.]

[wantsnudes]

I understand why you might hesitate to reveal such things to others, but it's all right. I would be honoured to be friends with you.

Can you tell me more? Can you commune with the spirits, as well as being able to see them?

[onerous]

[It's weird telling people about these abilities. She'd hid it for so long wanting to be normal, but Hisoka had made a living off of it and everything else... Trying to get her to accept it all...

She takes a breath and begins to type. Typing is much easier, at least.]

I don't mind.

If I have a picture of something or someone, or something connected with them, I can find anything. For example, if I have someone's note they've written, I can track them down. Same with their picture of them, or something they wore a lot. I can read the secrets of items like that.

I can see or speak to spirits. If I touch a spirit, I experience their deaths as if it was happening to me. Everything they thought or saw or felt. I take the pain of their death from them. It exorcises their spirit and usually allows them to move on.

Unfortunately it can extend to the living as well. I can't always control it, but sometimes if I touch people I experience their worst memories too. And I can generally read peoples
emotions.

It makes moonlacing difficult. Most people don't want to take that risk. But I have a bracelet now, from that mission before, that stops that ability from happening.

[She's pretty sure she's covered everything...]

[wantsnudes]

I see... I think I understand now. You surely must have carried a heavy burden, to possess such an ability, and take on the experiences of so many others... I can't imagine what that must be like.

I'm glad you have a bracelet to help you. But if moonlacing is still a difficulty, by all means, please come to me. I will help you whenever you are in need.

[onerous]

You don't have to force yourself, Kitagawa-san.

The moonlacing here is difficult for me to begin with. I'm not used to touching people, so I just keep expecting to be hurt every time I try. It's just a slow process trying to get used to it. But every time I touch someone and it doesn't hurt me, it gets a little easier.

[wantsnudes]

I'm not forcing myself. I would genuinely like to help. But, if it is a gradual process for you, I agree it is best that you do it at your own pace.

In any case, I can submit these photos on your behalf. Assuming the gallery is happy to accept them, I will give you all the information once the exhibition is given the go-ahead. Is that all right?

[onerous]

If you don't see it as forcing yourself, than I don't mind the help. I like you. [It's easier to say that sort of thing on text when you don't have to look the person in the face.]

Yes, that's fine. Please let me know when it's all going to be set-up. I'll help in any way I can.

[wantsnudes]

I shall. Likewise, please let me know whenever you are in difficulty in regards to chroma acquisition. I will always be willing to help you.
