[ Me reading this right to left at first before going "oh"
There's a bit of a whiplash going from the first memory straight into the second, but clowns? circus? he guesses this is just the timeline they're in!! To have the sheer confidence and power stripped away from him the instant he becomes a clown's puppet, is one thing, but staring your friend in the face and slicing her lifeline short right then and there?
The memory ends just as Hanako's able to fight off the mind control, arm darting out to grab at a nonexistent Sam and instead slapping Danny in the face. ]
[ help we're not even reliving mems we're just watching them on magic floating comic book panels, but i guess hanako is really fuckin into it, and it's easier to focus on getting slapped than All Of That, so. ]
Wait--you meant the circus thing? [ laughs ] No, no, she didn't die then. I...right after I cut the line, I snapped out of it and flew down to save her. She was fine. After that, at least.
[ sighs ] If that's what you want to believe, then I guess I can't stop you.
But just to set the record straight, that happened about a year before she really died. I would not and did not kill her because I was being mind controlled by some stupid goth clown with a fancy toy. I killed her myself, in control of myself and sound of mind, with my own two hands and a number two pencil.
[ He gives Danny a look of abject horror for a quick moment before he realizes that Danny doesn't mean he literally stabbed Sam to death with a pencil like a stake through the heart, but that he's talking about that stupid test that still makes Hanako's stomach roil. ]
Ha... How does that even happen? I've never met somebody who's as badly cursed as you are.
[ Can't Danny just let the ghosts haunt his town? He wants to ask this, but already knows the answer. After all, his entire job is to maintain balance between the two realms, try not to let the supernaturals mess around with the humans too badly. ]
Don't your ghosts have a council or anything to keep each other in line?
There was a Ghost King. But he was such a maniac that he was locked in a sarcophagus for good.
And the others only bother to interfere if messes with their precious "timeline." Something like ghosts wreaking havoc on a town or lives being ruined is beneath them.
