Summary
The young man stopped several metres away from Albedo, eyes wide. Albedo swallowed— His eyes were the same sunlit gold hue, bright and transfixing.
The wind continued to cry out gently against the stone as they both stood frozen, blades in hand. Neither made any move to approach the other.
“...Beautiful…”

Summary
“My hypothesis is this,” Albedo said at last. “Durin’s blood, which has a unique effect on the flora and fauna of Dragonspine, has never appeared to affect me before. I assumed this was because we are made from a similar base material. However, it is also possible that it simply had no observable effect on me.” He swallowed. “Sometimes, I… wake up places on the mountain with no memory of how I got there. Other times, I come across my own footprints coming back from places I know I haven’t visited recently. These gaps in my memory seem to occur infrequently, with no noticeable pattern, and that has made investigations into them… rather difficult.”
“You could have asked for help,” Aether said numbly. “You should have asked for help.”
“From who?” Albedo returned dryly, and Aether’s mouth abruptly snapped shut.

Summary
It’s like Reigen’s been waiting for the question. He stops dead on the pavement, grips Mob by the shoulders, and stares down into his eyes with an expression as haunted as though every ghost the pair of them has ever exorcised has taken up residence behind it. “Mob,” he says. “Mob,” he says again. “Tell me, Mob. Look at me and tell me. Tell me truthfully. Do I look cursed to you?”
Mob looks at him, and tells him truthfully. “No.”
“Well, you didn’t look very long,” says Reigen. “Let’s just stand here for a moment, like so, and you can have another look, a nice long look, and really think about it...”
(There's nothing strange about being called back to exorcise the same haunted photocopier six days in a row. It must just be a very haunted photocopier.)
