Greetings,

I have done terrible and inexcusable things over the course of those past few months. Though I was corrupted through the power of the rift, I take full responsibility for those things I did. The rift did not create anything: it only exploited what was already there within my heart. It is entirely my fault for having allowed emotions and feelings that could later be exploited to fester within my heart.

I have been allowed to stay and continue helping in the efforts to help this world, and I intend to do my utmost to prove myself an ally of humanity. I do not expect anyone to forgive me and I understand if you are afraid of me or would rather never see me again: I shall do my utmost to be invisible to you. However, I shall not relent from helping LILITH as my love for humanity is unwavering and has never changed.

Most importantly, please do not hold any grudge towards others who have been corrupted. If you find yourself having negative thoughts towards them, such thoughts are misplaced. They are kind souls who sought to help me, and suffered as a result of it. They are amongst the most beautiful souls I have ever encountered and they in no way deserve to be treated poorly. Note this statement only partially apply to Silco. Though you should bear no grudge towards him for what transpired last month, I do not consider him to be a kind and beautiful soul.

Furthermore, I would like to put an end to some strange rumors that reached my ears. It is said I took people in relationship to assist me when I was corrupted. Well, just about every of the people I consider close to my heart are in relationships. It would have been more surprising had one of the seven guardians been someone not in a relationship. The pattern some of you may have observed is as such, not a pattern at all.

Lastly, I would like to issue a warning about those rifts. Please avoid them at all costs. Though I dare not presume your heart bears the seeds that could lead to an apocalyptic outcome, it is evident the potential for evil exists within us all. Rifts should be avoided entirely until we understand them better.


I am sorry for everything.

When did I bite your head off?

[ She's not letting that go! Accuse her of having tried to destroy humanity, sure. Accuse her of having treated him poorly, and he better have the receipts! She knows his tactics, it's pretend the other is guilty of your own behavior! ]

You don't understand.
For all intent and purpose, compared to me,
You are a baby.
Using your age as an excuse won't work.

In Egypt, when you stuck your nose in Rin's business and I told you to mind your own, you got on that little high horse of yours and started laying down mandates again, like you weren't the one butting in and being reminded not to.

[ ... And then he'd been the one to chew her head off. That had been the issue, hadn't it? Both of them thought the other was the one interrupting. Muramasa rising to the defense of Rin, and Ereshkigal defending herself. ]

... Ah.

[ He won't change himself, so why is he bothering to see what she'll do either? ]

Actually, you know what? Forget it.

If you're working on Itadori's project, tell me if you need supplies and I'll make sure someone gets them to you.

[ Ohh yeah, that's the answer. ]

[queenofkur]

[ And then he'd indeed chewed her head off. All she'd done was try to help! She knows how hard romance is for her, she didn't want for Rin to suffer half as much. She owes her a lot, that's the least she can do.

No matter. For once, she welcomes the change in topic. ]

I don't need supplies, I'm using my own magic for it.
But thank you.

[misclassed]

[ Work is a good, safe topic. No chance of stepping on toes or losing his temper (as much), when all he wants is to make sure things are done well. ]

Yeah? What is it?

I'm up to my eyeballs in paper flowers and little pandas, but if you're doing something specific...

[ Harmony and cohesion are an important part of any final product. ]

The metal I use to make my cage
Most people mistake it for gold, but it is my own creation.
I can manipulate it however I wish.
For this, I make it into paper-thin sheets.
Thus the decorations will be very durable and shiny.

[misclassed]

[ metal? 👀 ]

Is it permanent? Can anyone else work it? I'll buy some off ya.

[queenofkur]

Unfortunately, no.
I could teach you,
But only those who serve me in Kûr can know.

[misclassed]

Oh. Damn. If it's magecraft, I doubt I can pick up on it anyway. I'm kinda shoehorned into what I got, and I'm not looking to pick up another employer as it is.

But if you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you doin' with your cage gold? Itadori share his vision with you at all? All I know is he wants to do Tanabata, but it's different from how it was in my day. Sendai kid, and all.

[queenofkur]

I'm doing those decorations normally made with paper.
The material is too fragile for my taste.
With the gold though, it is sturdy and still light as a feather!
