  Summary

  To be haunted means more than a simple ghost of the past, or a sense of lingering guilt. To be haunted there must be a shade, a shadow cast over that will never lift, a memory and a point in time that refuses to leave.

   

  The Incident may be over, but you can't help but feel like it isn't, not for you.
  It's stupid. You should be stronger than this, you are stronger than this.
  You're basically an adult, you should just be able to shrug this weight you're carrying and move on with your life.

  You, you, saved the entirety of Karukozaka High School and nearly everyone in it.
  You've grown mightier than any human being. You've discarded your humanity human limits. You're a goddamn Devil Summoner!
  You left the worst parts of yourself behind in the Expanse, replaced your weakness with purpose and conviction.
  You're not that same worthless waste of skin highschooler you used to be.

  So why...

  Why do you feel like you're just a little girl...?
