No, that's true. It wouldn't be right to do that.

[ straightforwardly. she would have enthusiastically blamed him, certainly, she should she had been in rin's position and much less knowledgeable about the situation. but she's changed since her possession; accepting it for what it is, she believes, is best.

she's happy that rin was the first to suggest it. ]

In any case, he's becoming quite the unpredictable individual, isn't he? I have to wonder if he's ever been made to face consequences for his actions. ... Or at least, experienced similar treatment.

[truthfully, the landlord is the last thing she wants to talk about. he does this, he does that, who knows what his motives are? maybe the Rainy Devil was actually a mistake on his part as well. as much as he is to blame for the paw to wind up on Rin's doorstep in the first place, talking about someone so... unpredictable and enigmatic feels pointless. as much as she enjoys a game of wild speculation, Rin doesn't feel up to it now.]

did you ever think about blaming the person who left you the monkey's paw?

Re: text; 12/26

[threewishes]

I did.

[ and this, perhaps, is one of the aspects of the arm that she's given the most thought to. it wouldn't be so much an issue if it didn't have any familial ties. ]

The thought was that if the arm hadn't been given to me in the first place, I wouldn't had wished upon it, right? Therefore, it's her fault. But that's a little narrow-minded of me. While I can't know for absolutely certain, I think my mother meant to teach me a lesson with it— the lesson being that I shouldn't rely on some mystical artifact, but rather rely on myself. Grant your own wishes, so to speak.

[that gets Rin to think— to actually think, which isn't something she often does. she hadn't meant to wish on the arm though, but even before then, Rin hadn't put much serious thought into the wish besides some vaguely sad feelings of yearning.

maybe she was just too scared to step any closer.]

that's a hard way to learn a lesson like that... but if that's true, then her intentions were still good, right? so maybe the landlord's intentions were good too, even if a lot of people ended up getting hurt.

am i overthinking it?

Re: text; 12/26

[threewishes]

Hm... [ well, considering kanbaru's mother's... nature, that wouldn't be an unfair generalization to the landlord. ] I suppose we can't know for certain in either case, but it is perfectly possible that the intentions were good, after all.

No, I don't believe you're overthinking (I shall definitely tell you when you're doing that, rest-assured!!). Though, I do wonder if Rin-chan optimistically learned a lesson in anything, beyond "be careful what you wish for".

Re: text; 12/26

[feeline]

[that one doesn't sound right, since Rin hadn't even meant to make a wish in the first place. but as far as learned lessons go...]

i think i should be more straightforward with how i feel?

[that's all she's got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Re: text; 12/26

[threewishes]

Ah, yes. Though stinging at times, brutal honesty can have its merits.
Anyway, not to sound doting, but I hope you've been eating and sleeping well, Rin-chan. Make sure to get lots of rest! I already know you exercise well, so I won't mention that.

Re: text; 12/26

[feeline]

i think i get it now. i'll make sure to take care of myself too
thank you, senpai. i really mean it!

[no emoji = serious business, wow.]
