Y'know, going 200% on this "help everyone at your own expense" deal is a form of self-harm. Like, dragging yourself across the floor just to get me a meal? That's almost as bad as tossing yourself off a cliff.

-Kiko is sat at the kitchen table, with a cardboard box in front of her-

-trying to think deeply-

Hmmmm....

Kitchen (Survivor Aichi)

-Well... He's no longer trapped in that dream world, he remembers everything, and now he has essentially become a magical boy thanks to G.-

-That doesn't change everything that has happened to him though. He remains ever tense, ever wary...-

-His jacket has finally been put back on (Clean now, too! Still has some permanent stains though...), his sheathe-like device has his crowbar in it, everything is fine—-

-He freezes as soon as he sees Kiko. He absolutely freezes in fear.-

-YOUMU IN THE KITCHEN-

-No, no, no, no, no, no, no! He's not letting anyone get infected! No way, no how!-

-He ran into Rottytops before, yes, but upon the panic of seeing one of the 'Youmu' he quickly switches to a near instinctual urge to get rid of the threat.-

-It's overwriting his ability to think that maybe she's not like the Youmu either.-

-Kiko, you can probably see a very, very, very panicked-looking guy that's about as tall as a first year high schooler approaching you cautiously with a crowbar that he is ready to swing at you as soon as you so much as move.-

-Fun.-

-Kiko looks up into the Survivor's eyes-

Hmmm...? -blink, blink-

Oh! Do you want a cookie? -holds up the cardboard box, as it opens up to reveal-

-brownies, and not cookies-

-He hears her talking, but before he can really register it, he panics at the movement.-

-He swings the crowbar at the box first. He's not really thinking clearly at the second...-

"I WON'T LET YOU INFECT ANYONE!!!"

-He starts pulling the crowbar back to swing at Kiko...-

-...What is he going on about, Kiko? Although that crowbar is definitely starting to come your way. He's swinging it with all of the force he can muster... Which is a surprisingly good amount in comparison to any other Aichis.-

What- -SMACKED TO THE FLOOR with the crowbar-

-Aichi, that box had brownies in it-

-He knocked the Youmu, over... Now he just has to take her out before she hurts anyone!-

-He starts pulling his crowbar back, preparing to strike, when his eyes seem to go to the brownies.-

-...-

-...-

-...She had been offering him brownies (Well, she had been offering him cookies, but he was too distracted to really register what she had said at the time)...-

-...Oh no... This one isn't like the Youmu either, is she?!-

"...!"

-He quickly stops the swing he had been preparing, and gets a look of sheer, unadulterated guilt.-

"I-I'm so sorry, are you all right?!"

-He's still definitely panicking and he's not getting any closer to Kiko, but you can hear the horror in his voice.-

-He completely lost control and forgot that there might be some non-feral zomb— Youmu here...-

-Kiko slowly gets up, and sits back on the chair-

Not the worst thing that's happened!~

-'Not the worst thing that's'— Even so it was still horrible for Aichi to do!-

"I-I'm so sorry... I-I thought you were like the Youmu back home..."

-Absolutely mindless and feral. Deadly.-

"...I-I forgot that there are non-feral Youmu here..."

-Or in the case of Rottytops, 'A cosplayer with green body paint'.-

-...It doesn't help much thinking about her like that, but it makes it a little easier to think about her while being able to stay calm...-

'Youmu'? I mean. I am a spirit. Just not an evil one!~

-what-

Or at least I don't think I am... honestly I've forgotten most things pre-anchoring.

"The Youmu are like... I guess you could say..."

-He seems very hesitant.-

"...Zombies..."

-But they're not though. Totally not. At all. They're Youmu. They just happen to be exactly like what you'd imagine zombies as. Pure coincidence, obviously.-

-...Is he trying to convince the narrator that, or himself?-

-...'Spirit'...?-

"W-Wait, you're a spirit?!"

-His fear of the undead is for the most part gone (Barring zombies, for obvious reasons), but even so the idea is a tad unsettling...-

Yep!~ I can't remember what I'm like as a spirit... y'know... spirit of vengeance or whatever.

Maybe I was a spirit of speech, because I punched a girl in the throat, and then she was able to talk when previously she couldn't. Who knows!~

-she shrugs with a dumb grin on her face- I did have to anchor myself to a dead body though, since I was dying.

-A spirit that doesn't even remember their own purpose...-

"...I-I hope you can remember someday."

-He's still not at ease near Kiko even after learning that she's just possessing a dead body. Not in the slightest.-

-...Honestly he feels horrible for whoever died. Not only did she... well, die, but her body can't be given a proper rest because Kiko's possessing it. Although Kiko didn't have any choice since she was about to die too...-

-...Wait...-

"...S-Spirits can die?"

Yeah! Exorcisms can do it, if the spirit was anchored to what they possessed due to well- nearly dying.

Sometimes you humans can do it with magic anyway...

But also Spirits can kill other spirits. It's how many of us get so wounded to need anchoring.

-Oh...-

"I-I see..."

-Sounds like a rough life... Wait, are spirits alive? Are they like ghosts or some kind of other being?-

Oh yeah! I mean- apart from being anchored, I'm fine. But I'm used to this body, now.

I keep good care of it! I couldn't stop the skin from turning colour though, eheh...

-Ah, that would explain how the corpse isn't completely rotted despite the color...-

"...J-Just be careful if you see me again... If you sneak up on me I might lose control again..."

-He's certain now that he will not be able to think clearly upon being suddenly approached a Youmu-like being.-

-He will end up springing into action, as much as he absolutely hates it.-

-He doesn't want to hurt anyone, but whenever he sees one of them, all of his ability to think it through just shuts off in sheer panic.-

-'I have to stop the threat', 'I can't let them bite or scratch anyone', 'They're dangerous'...-

-That's what goes through his head... although in less eloquent terms.-

"I-I don't want to hurt you or Rottytops again..."

-If you notice, he has been keeping a very noteworthy distance between him and Kiko. He's still extremely tense and on edge. Even if she knows she's not supposed to be a threat, he still feels like she is.-

-He looks extremely guilty.-

"I-It was like how I hurt you..."

-...Except worse... Her head flew off, her arm was messed up...-

-It didn't hurt her, but still...-

"I-I thought she was like the Youmu back home... That she was going to infect and kill everyone..."

-He feels like garbage...-

"S-She's all right, but I still feel horrible for it... I just... When I see a zombie... I just lose it..."

-...He said zombie without realizing it.-

"I-I don't want to hurt anyone... I-I really don't..."

-He can imagine that Kiko hates him... especially since she seems to be a friend of Rottytops's...-

Fair enough- you know? Gut reactions!

-...She's not mad...? She actually understands?-

-That's something of a relief...-

"Y-Yeah..."

-Honestly he wishes he could calm down and stop being so high strung...-

-...But he can't. This intensity has been drilled into his core... perhaps permanently.-

-He'll never be like before the apocalypse hit. Not ever again.-

-He's doomed to always look over his shoulder, fearing the day one of the Youmu successfully sneaks up on him...-

-...But he's going to prevent that from happening. He's going to keep searching for them. He will never give up.-

-Even if they... Even if they somehow are dead... He can't give up...-

But, anyway- if you get spooked by me, don't worry about hurting me.

I've had a sword through this skull before- and i healed right back up!
