post handpaw incident.

[sacral]

Whose knife is this.

[hallowedly]

Whose hand was that?

[sacral]

[ ? ]

Besides mine?

[hallowedly]

What a creature you are.

One who'll want a trinket for Kuji-kiri. Keep the knife.

[sacral]

I named them all. Whoever's hand it might have been.

As for the knife, it won't serve me well.

[hallowedly]

Lady Sumeragi raised an ungrateful child.

[sacral]

Call it something else. Like resource allotment.

[hallowedly]

Never mind mine. You'll hurt Sharon's feelings.

[sacral]

[ Firstly: ] Thank you. [ Secondly: ] She isn't missing it?

[hallowedly]

Worried I've wronged her lile a common thief?

[sacral]

Nothing you're capable of is common.

You were wounded.

[hallowedly]

Mostly in my pride. But it might havd been worse without her knife donation.

Cheer up. You could have attended this of my funerals with your head high.

[sacral]

It's quick to heal.

You should have taken it with you, in that case. No other ritual will bear this blade.

[hallowedly]

You're talking as if I brought plague to your household.

[sacral]

You were attempting to do the opposite of that, weren't you?

[hallowedly]

( ...ah. A moment. Another. )


Subaru-kun, don't invent your heroes.

[sacral]

Invention is a kindness. I only observed.

Anyway, thank you for the gift. [ "gift" ] But I'll have to return it.

[hallowedly]

No. Be clear: you are choosing to.

[sacral]

I wouldn't like to wield it.

[hallowedly]

Then do away with it.

[sacral]

Once it's purified. Would Sharon like it back?

[hallowedly]

...what a helpful person, doing away with the taint of my body.

[sacral]

I hadn't planned on asking about the nature of the curse.

[hallowedly]

Of course, of course. After all, the Sakurazukamori's blood on your hands, what novelty that must be.

[sacral]

Yours was only the last to touch it.
