It was disturbing that you couldn’t trust your own perception. More disturbing was the the discussion about your peculiar ailment. You had resigned yourself to coping with the issue, for better or worse it just seemed like your particular burden to bear. But now you were being offered an out, some means of repair.

Part of you can’t help but feel deeply suspicious of Hiraku. So far, every encounter with a spirit has been negative. The mere fact that he was some manner of undead creature created a pall of doubt on whether or not anything he said was in your best interests. There are several eventualities that occur to you. First, he’s malicious and wants to kill you. Second, he’s benevolent and wants to heal you. Third, he’s benevolent but still wants to kill you.
Two out of three odds on being murdered by a ghost. But the prospect of being freed from your fate is still tantalizing, without a doubt. You’d have to discuss it with your teammates.
