Takumi doesn't have Retrospec anymore, but he's still a good guy, hauling me over to the clinic last night. Ms. Minamoto let me stay home from school too. Sleeping in is great...

Do you ever feel like the gifts you receive from Retrospec are unlucky? I picked up my first two over the week, and now the guy that I see in the fog has gone from following me to straight up trying to cut me to pieces. He has a spear. He's really fucking good at using a spear.

Past self, what kind of life did you live to meet a guy like that?

I don't know. I think I should know him... But I'm drawing a blank.

He's not anyone I normally see, so he's just an illusion? People can ca see dangerous things in the fog.

That's true. The fact that you can get attacked by it as well is...
More than a little concerning.

Would I be able to come see you?

The thicker the fog, the more dangerous it is.

Of course. I'm going to the library for some research anyway, we can meet there. That spear looked like something you'd see in a museum, and he kind of looked like... a samurai?

Hmmm. That's interesting.

Alright, I'll meet you there. Luckily, Japanese history is my specialty! So I can help you out there. 😊

Nice! Mimori-chan is very reliable.

I'm relying on memory, but I want see if I can find anything on that spear... and a crest saw.

Hmmmm.

Do you have any other possible hints besides that?

I'm trying to think.

His clothes were too weird to be from a specific period, but they were definitely Japanese... Oh! There were engravings on the spear. Like characters or letters?

Ah! Okay, we can work with that maybe.

When we meet up at the library we can see if we can find any references to that.

Yeah! I honestly need a productive distraction from this.

I still like Japanese culture and stuff too, so it'll be fun homework!

[ Somehow, it wouldn't be surprising if these two were actually really, really good at research projects, so long as they were fun topics... ]

Okay! Just give me a time and I'll meet you at the library.

[ trying to figure out what you got stabbed with is definitely fun :/ ]

Is tomorrow in the afternoon okay? We could get some lunch and then do research! Then hunger won't distract us.

[ Very fun obviously, but curiosity must be satisfied. At least they're not kids in a horror film or something :T ]

That's fine with me! And please remember to take care so that your injuries heal properly, okay? I don't want you overexerting yourself.

Of course! Thanks for your help, Mimori. I think I'll just want to check out some books to be convinced to stay indoors more anyway.

That's probably what we should already be doing, in any case.
With how dangerous it's been to go out...

Do you have any good book recs, Mimori?

I'll send you a list!
There is a lot of interesting information on these kinds of subjects, and it takes a while to get through it all if you start more broadly.
