[ Looks kind of horrified, as he brings his hand back to his head ]

Shit... I don't remember any of that... Sorry.

Why would I even... ? I wasn't mad at Boss when we fought. He explained everything.

[worldlyafflictions]

I guess ya weren't mad exactly. More like... rude. 'n murder-driven. Or like tunnel-visioned on getting rid of a threat.

[malignstar]

But I only fought boss to keep up appearances... Why would I see him as a threat? It's not like he's a bad person

[worldlyafflictions]

He is still full of demons...

[malignstar]

He's not. It's messier than that.

[worldlyafflictions]

Sorry, I mean that as shorthand for being under demonic influence. I mean as far as I know how they work, as often as they can, a demon just takes what people actually feel and twist it inta something else...

[malignstar]

Yeah, I think that's what's going on,h—

[ Cuts himself off abruptly ]

[worldlyafflictions]

Uh, Shine-san?

[malignstar]

... how do you know about demons?

[worldlyafflictions]

Oh. I'm an exorcist in training. No big.

[malignstar]

In training?

[worldlyafflictions]

As far as I know I'm still studying, anyway [shrug].

[malignstar]

I didn't know that was a thing people studied so young.

[worldlyafflictions]

Is it that young? It's high-school already, after all.

[malignstar]

Honestly, I didn't know it was something people study for it all. I thought it was one of those weird esper talents.

[worldlyafflictions]

I mean ya probably do need ta have some kinda aptitude. But it's not like I remember more than a chunk anyway.

[malignstar]

... do you think I'm under an influence?
