...I have my reasons for reservations, as do you for your decision to go forward with it.
We do agree on the curios, though. The way I was taught medicine... you give up yourself to heal someone else. That's the price of saving others. This is true... for both the traditional and the occult, though the weight differs greatly...
I don't know what I would lose in exchange to kill someone else instead.
That being said... I know Pickles was also adamant about not forging that contract, so unless he changed his mind these last two days alone, his was a purposeful death.
[ Considering Karma and Ichiban though like... it's possible they linked but he... finds that... unlikely......... ]
It's really subjective though, and unless we've got some spells of honesty or truth serum up our sleeves, it's going to be really hard to get that information out of someone.
[ He shakes his head on the latter. ]
I don't know that for sure -- I don't think so. I meant that bceause Pickles isn't likely to have made a contract, he's not likely to have died because Mr. Akabane and Mr. Kasuga were killed.
As per the rules -- if your partner dies, you die.

Perhaps it is worth considering the power of the wish for whoever your partner is. That the risk is worth the trade.
[ but as for pickles. ]
You would have to forge the contract to be targeted by a possessed killer?

Guess I just didn't want to consider that it could happen...
Might be something worth asking first thing tomorrow, assuming the overseers will come by again. I'd ask now, but the crows are gone.
