[okay, trying something. leans forward and holds his hands out, palms up] Put your hands on mine.

[SHE IS HESITANT but she does so]

What is this for?

[tsuntsunarunaru]

This way we're both more secure. Your hands are on mine. If I wanted to do anything, I would need my hands to do it. Because your hands are on mine, I can also know when you might attempt something.

We'll keep our hands flat, no gripping. Will that help?

[taniyama_wryyy]

[nods at that]

Yeah, that works.

[tsuntsunarunaru]

Now think back. When did the paranoia start?

[taniyama_wryyy]

[she has to think about this for a moment, actually]

A few days ago, after I saw the statue the first time.

[tsuntsunarunaru]

Statue.

[taniyama_wryyy]

Yes, a statue. Out in the woods.

[frown]

You're not going to look for it, are you?

[tsuntsunarunaru]

No. Someone is bound to do something about it, but if the statue was the last thing you saw before your paranoia started to take hold, then it's logical to assume that it had something to do with it.

[taniyama_wryyy]

How could a statue do something. This wasn't like the one at that one house.

[tsuntsunarunaru]

Then describe how you found it.

[taniyama_wryyy]

A light showed me the way.

[tsuntsunarunaru]

... and this is dissimilar to that house in what way.

[taniyama_wryyy]

Well it's just a statue, not a house. And I don't think anyone like Urado is haunting it.

[tsuntsunarunaru]

... that wasn't the house I was thinking of.

Idols can play the same role as dolls. Depending on what they are meant for.

[taniyama_wryyy]

Can they?

[she's starting to get nervous now]

Do you think there's a spirit in it?

[tsuntsunarunaru]

It's possible. If that's the case, then the idol being destroyed would put an end to things.
