[break][break]
doesn't personally care very much about him, but also doesn't actively want his suffering either even though she may make a point of blatantly looking in the other direction whenever they cross paths in town. sometimes wishes they had a relationship, but it's easier for her to pretend to be strangers than have to acknowledge that she was abandoned for someone that abandoned him.[break][break] [attr="class","minornpccont"] [attr="class","minornpcname"]thu xe [attr="class","minornpcbody"] [attr="class","minornpcicon"]  [attr="class","minornpcblurb"]summoning oracle university mid 20s the third of the three xế children, the second daughter. serene and good-natured until you 1-800-try-her. was sickly as a child, but has since recovered. prone to kind of just doing what she wants because of it and getting away with it because of that, though. prone to being flippant about other people's feelings. sees the good in her brother, but realizes there's deeper unaddressed issues. [break][break] still carries the scar from when he hurt her and feels responsible for the subsequent events. has accepted, to some degree, that he won't come home unless he wants to. does her best to try and help, which includes forcing him to finally join a coven, but regrets that he doesn't seem to know much about anything.[break][break] [attr="class","minornpccont"] [attr="class","minornpcname"]verity ███████ [attr="class","minornpcbody"] [attr="class","minornpcicon"]  [attr="class","minornpcblurb"]unknown deceased mid 20s an abandoned child that dreamed of becoming a god. neglected by her parents, she spent much of her time hiding at the old shrines, where she became fascinated with the architectural relics of the old gods. she fed into v's worst impulses and v enabled hers. what'd initially been a child's way of explaining the pain she endured became full-blown delusions the more time that they spent together. far removed from reality, she demanded v remove the objects of her suffering only to end up doing so herself when he failed.[break][break]
she died in 2013, claiming before her death that her soul would become bound to his—her "reincarnation." [break][break]
worth noting is that he did love her, though their relationship itself was never romantic in nature. she was close to six years older than him and spent much of their relationship conditioning him to rely solely on her for validation and justification for his existence. even much of his existing personality was shaped by her, including both his repressed anger and lack of any serious regard for his life or personal desires. it has improved, somewhat, in her absence, but he still struggles significantly with thinking for himself.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2002
[attr="class","locbody"]tw: implied tooth horror [break][break]
he came again. [break][break]
today, he brought me a gift. i should have expected it. i told him not to. but, he never listens to me when it matters. he only listens to me when it is what he wants to hear. he's stubborn. i purposely made it difficult when he asked me what he could give me that would make me happy. the things that would make me happy are things that he can't put in a box or really understand. he says he would, if i told him. [break][break]
so, i challenged him. i said to him, if he can give up something that is his, but something that he can't take back no matter what, that i would tell him what would make me happy. [break][break]
it's the nicest thing i could think of doing. [break][break]
thought it might be a hard question. i thought he might give up then. a kid like him shouldn't be hanging out around the lighthouses anyway. it's dangerous here. it's fine if i'm here. it's not dangerous for me. after i told him that, he disappeared. [break][break]
i thought it was over. the end of a mean joke i played on a little kid, where the punchline is that i'm alone again. [break][break]
but, he came today, with his answer in his hand. it was wet when he gave it to me. [break][break]
he said he thought about it for a very long time, but that he was stupid, so it took him longer than he expected. he hoped i wasn't lonely. i wasn't. but, he decided on this as his answer. he said it was hard and that it hurt. it got infected too from the way he had gotten it, so he got sick. i could tell from just looking at him that he still was when he came today. [break][break]
i want to swallow it. [break][break]
i shouldn't be happy to have one of his teeth—long, and fanged where the roots were. i am, though. i wish it could fit into my mouth, where some of my own teeth have rotted through. i think it would make me sick. it's fine if he is. people will take care of him. but, me—it would make him very happy, though, to be a part of me. [break][break]
the way he looked at me today scared me. the way he looks at me always scares me. they were his mother's tools, but it had been his hands. and he came to find me anyway, despite his sickness. my mother won't even come to find me. [break][break]
it was my birthday last week. no one remembered. [break][break]
she used to. he does. [break][break]
he will come again tomorrow. [break][break]
i should think about what to ask for next.
[break][break]
