You throw yourself away from that mirror and whatever secrets it hides. Whatever it was, you truly didn’t want to know. Not yet. Not right now.
The last thing you feel is a deep sense of hate welling up inside you. Deep. Cancerous. Black. Cold. Hatred for who, or what, you don't know. You knew you didn't want to know. The string in your brain drags you through the abyss and soon you’re popping your eyes open, looking at Inoichi as he withdraws his hand from your forehead.
As soon as the others can talk they start ranting at you.
“I’m surprised you felt mercy for that fucking thing. I wouldn’t have even thought for a second to let that thing slime into my soul just because I didn’t want to kill it. I’m no expert, but don’t ever consider that again. I shudder to think of the what would have happened to you.” Says Naoki.
“Yeah, that was…” Masami just drifts off. Whatever she wants to say is too complicated.
Inoichi looks at her and chuckles. “One of the hardest realities about this job is how you can see that the basic humanity of everyone is made of the same stuff, just organized in a way that doesn’t make sense from your point of view. For example, I wouldn’t have felt mercy there either, but I can assure you I’ve felt it before, maybe tinged with other colors, but mostly the same. Hardly any different. Anyway…” He stands up and begins ushering you out of this place and towards the elevator. “I have what I need for a proper report, and a proper update to your secret dossier, Otomo. This is definitely a village secret. Don’t expose your special abilities to anyone you don’t trust. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that this qualifies as a legitimate kekkei genkai, and you should keep it close to your chest. Your ability is niche but extremely valuable. Nobody can interact with spirits that easily. It’s unheard of.”
“What do you guys think of the water mirror in the void though?” You ask.
Inoichi stops in his tracks. “... The what?”
“The hovering mirror in the void? Near the end?”
“The last thing I saw was your skull exploding with hormones when Junpei’s sister practically stuck her tongue in your ear, followed by you blocking it out by mentally screaming for Kami-Sama to save you.” Naoki adds, helpfully. “But that stuff seemed personal and like I should leave it alone.”
“Cool, thanks. Very awesome commentary. After that private stuff that’s none of your fucking business though, there was some levitating mirror, or portal. It scared me.”
