I have an egg.

What am I supposed to do with it?

But it isn't? Don't you have evil spirits and stuff back home?

[asano_san]

I thought you meant this life here. It feels like we'll never get to go back home, so what's the point of thinking about how exciting my life is there?

But I was fine with the kind of boring life that means you don't realize there are evil spirits everywhere anyway!

[good_ideas]

So you're fine with potentially getting haunted because you never realized there were evil spirits everywhere?

Is that really supposed to be a good thing?

[asano_san]

It's a good thing when I don't know any better!

[good_ideas]

It’s not. It’s really, really not.

[asano_san]

You'd rather be able to see every single spirit out there, even the ones that weren't going to do anything to you personally?

[good_ideas]

I'd rather that they don't exist, but at least then I'll know instead of being caught by surprise.

[Because nothing is worse than a ghost that she can't see.]

[asano_san]

Now there's something we agree on! I wish they didn't exist, too!

[good_ideas]

...But they do. For you, anyway. [Sorry, Keigo.]

[asano_san]

Then shouldn't my opinion be the one that matters most when I say it's better not to know about them?!

[good_ideas]

I... guess. I mean, I never wanted to actually know about them anyway. I just want to know if they're there or not instead of getting jump-scared.

[asano_san]

But you won't get jump-scared if you can never see them!

[good_ideas]

But they'd still be there!

[asano_san]

But you won't know that!

[good_ideas]

I'd rather know so I can run away.

[asano_san]

Then you can have my powers any time you want!

[Too bad it doesn't work that way.]

[good_ideas]

Being able to see things doesn't count as a power! [It's unscientific! He has no proof! ETC ETC]

[asano_san]

OK. Side effect of someone else's power, then!

[She can still have it.]

[good_ideas]

...What is your power, anyway?

[Because she still doesn't want it.]

[asano_san]

[He doesn't want it, either!]

It doesn't have a name. I can just see spirits that other people can't.

Oh, and they have this thing called spiritual pressure. There was this really powerful bad guy that should have knocked me out just being around him, and I could still stand up in front of him.

[good_ideas]

You could give it a name. [Kaoru (and every manga hero) does that, so why not him?]

And is spiritual pressure supposed to be some kind of "ki"?

[asano_san]

I don't want to name it. You name things you want to keep around!

[His ability to see spirits is not a pet.]

I don't think regular ki has anything to do with Soul Society.

[good_ideas]

But it's here to stay, isn't it? [Is it??]

It sure sounds like ki though. Like an aura or whatever it is that they do.

[asano_san]

You name a cat you bring home, but you don't name a cockroach that's hanging around your bathroom!

[It's still not a pet.]

Then maybe it is. It's not like I have anyone to ask to be sure.

[good_ideas]

...You know. Some people would probably name the cockroach. [Probably Kaoru.]

And I don't know for sure either, I'm mostly just guessing.
