    Summary

    Adashino may not be able to see mushi, but that doesn’t mean they can’t choose him as their host.

    When Adashino is possessed by a mushi that lives off other mushi, Ginko becomes sick. Very sick. The Tokoyami in Ginko's empty eye struggles to survive the influence of this stronger mushi. Ginko is pulled along in this struggle, bleeding and in pain.

    The Tokoyami may be strong enough to fight off this dark mushi, but Ginko’s body isn’t, which leaves him torn between staying to save Adashino and risking his own life - and leaving, never to return again.

    Summary

    Spoilers for S1, references to S2. It's been a long time since Ginko first encountered the tokoyami -- and time, unfortunately, has a way of catching up.

    Summary

    Noé swallows around the lump in his throat. “Why are you here?” He forces himself up and onto his feet. His legs are shaking, and every twitch sends throbbing pain rattling through thin joints.

    He props one hand against the wall to support himself as he gets up. The chain of the collar clanks at the motion. Noé  holds the metre or so of the slack chain dangling from his throat in a white-knuckled grip. The motion of standing leaves his chest cramp, his lungs breathless. Hunger rears its beastly head in his gut.

    “I want to know Lord Ruthven’s secrets,” purrs Vanitas. He doesn’t move from his position from the floor, and doesn’t look the least bit intimidated by Noé. “And why it is that he’s keeping a vampire pet in his basement.”

    Summary

    “If I’m going to be killed, I want Noé to do it,” shifted into "If I’m going to die anyway, I’d really rather you were the one to kill me."

    And with that Noé was falling. Diving into a bubbling red sea. Landing harshly against rough stone, rubble digging into stained skin, tearing, fraying. Hands grasping shoulders, shaking, begging, crying. Blood dripping from claws and fangs and staining it all red, red, red.
