Uhhh... yeah? That's Saya.

...

What's wrong?

[favoritetraitor]

Has she spoken to you lately?

[is_paranoid]

Not since she said she lost some stuff... a sword, actually. I said I'd keep an eye out for it.

9/9

[is_paranoid]

... so don't hurt me, okay?

[favoritetraitor]

... what curse.

Hagi is one thing. But going to an outsider... well, I'm afraid I can't accept this.

[is_paranoid]

You... weren't really listening, were you?
