I don't know where they came from all of the sudden, but all of these fireflies are really pretty. They look a little like hitodama, all gathered together like this.

They are lovely, but the house is full of them.

[coughcoughshank]

Mine too - they don't seem to want to crawl all over the food though, so they're fine. Even if Digit keeps trying to chase them.

[drivetothewest]

It is a little bit difficult to cook and clean with them around, though. I keep having to make sure none are in the fridge or the washing bin.

[coughcoughshank]

Oh, I guess that would be a problem...

[weaver_girl]

That isn't such a cheery image, though.

[coughcoughshank]

I guess not... though at least they don't look like evil spirits?

[weaver_girl]

Oh, I didn't mean... I'm sorry.

Do you get the same feeling as I do? That fireflies have something to do with dead people?

[coughcoughshank]

[There's a few drips of ink as he actually stops to think about that]

I suppose so. If they remind me of hitodama, anyway.

[Having read the previous comments...]

Pretty or not, being followed by that many seems like an inconvenience.

[coughcoughshank]

It's not that bad, really.

[notpissedoff]

They don't keep you awake at night?

[coughcoughshank]

Not really.

[feathered_earth]

A hitodama? What is that?

[coughcoughshank]

Spirits that look like little balls of light. I think they're usually of dead people, but I don't quite remember.

[feathered_earth]

Really?

That sounds kind of nice.

[coughcoughshank]

Yeah, it kind of is, I think. Not scary, anyway.

[esoteric_rose]

They're like some strange aura, aren't they?

[coughcoughshank]

A bit, I guess. I don't mind it, though.
