Have any shinki woken up one morning to find that they could suddenly recall something? Like a piece of their memory had been restored, as if it were never missing to begin with.

I need to know if it's a bad sign, or if anything needs to be done.

What do you mean it doesn't matter?

Exactly that. It's just a need. Just pain.

[ If he focused enough, he could move past it. He didn't know how, but he was used to it, yet it was never enough to grab what he wanted. ]

[razzledazzles]

You're trying to push for pain? If you push too far in this case, you could wind up as a monster, not just in pain.

[moonlitknight]

[ A short pause. ]

Monster?

private;

[razzledazzles]

An ayakashi.

[moonlitknight]

[ He stiffens. ]

What do you mean?

private;

[razzledazzles]

From what I've been told, if a shinki learns of their memories, they'll turn into an ayakashi.

[ A long silence before a single text is sent. ]

They really hate us don't they.

private;

[razzledazzles]

I don't think it's a matter of hate. But it is a horrible system.

[ The weight of that truth has him shutting down and closing the device. His bloodlust rises to the surface, clawing at his throat forcing him to break the strict ration he'd put himself under to conserve the precious few bloodtablets he still had left. They kept his bloodlust at bay but for how long? At this rate, they wouldn't last the week and then what?

He runs a hand down his face. Jae-Ha was wrong. It wasn't horrible, it was cruel. The little gem of hope they dangled just out reach... How could they call this place Heaven? ]
