This is-- ahh. I think I feel like myself again.
I forgot how much I hate this City's curses...
I... Vash, Sakura, Alexiel and
someone I didn't catch the name of... Thank you for trying to talk me out of my strange mood. I want to say I don't know what came over me, but I know that wouldn't be completely true. I hate these curses.

Since that curse my left hand has felt strange, like an odd pulsating or throbbing feeling. I don't know what to make of it at all. It doesn't feel painful as such, just strange. I can move my wrist and fingers fine, I can still activate my Innocence it just feels... odd.
The aftermath of this curse has me thinking about Suman and the betrayal of Innocence... I know a few curses have made Exorcists here come close to having what would be considered a betrayal forced upon them but escaped it narrowly. Maybe because it was forced via curse.
I'm still not very content with this idea, though. It brushed a few too many nerves in the aftermath of it all, really. In retrospect it could have turned out to be a lot worse. I don't really want to go through any of that again.
Mana... it's all right to be afraid of war, right? Courage is not the absence of fear, but doing the right thing while accompanied by fear regardless. I'd never turn away from our mission, never stop moving forward.
I hate these curses.
