I think you might be right about the house being cursed.

huh?? what do you mean??

[And another text will come immediately after because once Yoshitake realized what she was saying he went to check for himself.]

damn it!! he's really gone

Yeah. Looks like it's just you and me again.

[Which is a bit more disheartening this time because she got to know Shark better than her previous not!parents.]

[Yoshitake probably didn't get to know Shark as much as she did, but he was getting used to having the guy around and even enjoyed it in his own way? Even if half their interactions really just boiled down to Yoshitake bothering him.

Not to mention, the constant disappearing was really unsettling.]

i know this is a thing that happens here a lot apparently, but i feel like it happens way too often in this house. [Hiroki is probably the one constant in this house for him.] i was just starting to think that maybe he was right about there not being a curse, but...

[Having common experience with past lives was something to bond over.]

Think we should try to find an exorcist?

[Still totally oblivious to that.]

tried that already a while ago. twice! the first time i paid ten bucks and it didn't do squat. [That's because you were ripped off, Yoshitake.] the second time i had a really good friend help me out with his cool machine and i swore we got rid of whatever was cursing this place but it...doesn't seem to have worked either. [Because said friend is not quite all there.]

[She'd prefer if it stayed that way, really. She'd rather he didn't think she was insane. (And carrying around a poker helps this how...?)]

Are you sure they knew what they were doing?

[One day.

One day he will have the courage to ask her about that.]

well the first guy i'm not too sure about
but the second guy is a good friend of mine and i have faith in him!
also he had a really cool machine that i'm pretty sure exorcised the hell out of that ghost.

[A text comes almost immediately after once he considers something.]

we can get it done again though, if you think we really need it.

[Or if it will make her feel safer, at least.]

[Well, she doesn't exactly feel unsafe. After a moment she texted again.]

No, if you trust your friend then I do too.

i do
maybe whatever this is is just too strong?

Maybe that's what it is.

I wonder how we could get rid of it if that's the case?

i have no idea
maybe there's a book in the library that talk about this kind of thing

Maybe.

I know a friend who might know if it is.

[Because she's sure Veronica is in the library so often she may as well be living in it.]

really?
we should look into this then, for the sake of the next "parent" that ends up with us

Yeah. She spends a lot of time in the library.

It could be like a quest!

And this is why he thinks you're awesome.]

the quest to break the wicked curse! heh, it kind of is like a quest huh?

[Thinking of it as such makes it a little less scary.]
