[ ngggggggg... how to say this without explicitly admitting he's a ghost and getting exorcised on the spot? ]

[ He sits back in bed, expression clearing. How he was before, that's what he's supposed to be, after all. ]

[so don't let people stab you, then. anyway, he is trying to think through what he means by that, but like. his brain never goes to problems actually being caused by ghosts to begin with, and throw in different worlds, and the obvious answer eludes him a bit.]
[he's not that stupid. something bad is going on here, but he's not qualified to diagnose it.]
People try to protect you because they don't want you to suffer. It's as simple as that. So even if it feels that hopeless, it doesn't mean they're going to stand back while you do.
[also he never thought hanako had a bright future anyway even when he thought he was just a kid.]

...anyway he goes a little stern that that.]

Not this one! Not without me disappearing, anyways, and I'd like to keep existing for a little longer if I can!
