[Conan beams. Pure, unadulterated, cheerfulness might not be enough to distract from the drab, gloomy interior of Hel's hall, but he's trying hard.]

Ne -- I was thinking! I've heard a lot of people wondering why we were here -- not the reason in the letter. Why us and not anyone else! So that got me thinking -- maybe we'll find out the answer sooner if we ask questions to a lot of people at once!

I've got one for everyone -- sorry if it's a bit weird, but try and answer the best you can, okay? I bet it'll be useful in the long run. Anyway -- how important are you in your world?

I'll be waiting for your answer -- thank you!

[And clicking the feed off, Conan lets out a sigh, massaging sore cheek muscles. Tch ... this better work ... ]

Well, my parents probably wouldn't think it's anything more than me running away, since we never really got along. Sis would probably concerned, but she actually is important, so she probably won't have time to go searching for me, and my circle of friends isn't exactly all that large.

[Especially since half of them are dead.]

Still, you said importance to the world. In that sense, any importance I have is so small it's not even worth mentioning.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

We can't count it out yet -- we don't really know what we're looking for after all!

Ne, what do you mean your sister's actually important?

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

Sis is... Well, neither medium nor exorcist really explain it properly... She communes with restless spirits, and helps them rest in peace. She also handles a lot of hauntings, and protects people from the dangerous parts of the spiritual world. She's pretty famous in those circles.

[Yes, she's totally bragging.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Wow! That's pretty special, all right!

Maybe you're like me then -- peripherally important?

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

Peripherally important sounds about right, yeah. Sis has always been amazing like that.

The best I can hope for is being an illustrator one day, so it's like we're in completely different worlds.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

It's a start at least!

Ne, can't you see ghosts at all? It's only your sister who can?

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

[And suddenly, she looks a lot more uncomfortable.]

Well, I can't see them any better than a normal person can...

[But. There's definitely a but there, but she's trying to avoid saying it.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

But you know they're there?

[Yeah -- this is an odd reaction.]

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

...I can feel them. What they felt when they died. It's not too bad when it's a stranger. Then I can only feel their emotions, but if it's someone I knew or was close to...

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

It's a lot harder?

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

It's... a lot worse, yes. I can feel everything they felt when they died if I get too close.

[Yes, she did emphasize the "everything" in that sentence. Can you put together what she means by that?]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Conan's been present at enough bloody, violent and gruesome murders, not to mention had enough near-misses himself that he has a pretty good idea of what Ayumi means. He swallows.]

A-ah.

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, looks like he gets it, so Ayumi just gives a sad smile.]

I can't be strong like Sis, after all. I think I'd go insane if I were to do the same as her.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Ah ...

Ne, I'm sure it matters a lot to have your support! You might do more than you know.
