[ Eren isn't convinced in the slightest, obviously. But he listens to Hijikata's reasoning. He's just…not easy to scare, himself. There is so little left that can really scare him these days. Maybe something can. Maybe a ghost face to face could under the right circumstances. But ghosts just sound like monsters, and why should a monster be scared of a monster? ]
There was some fucked up stuff like that in Folkmore. Demons and other monsters. Not…ghosts, I think. Sometimes copies of people or stuff like that. It wasn't always great.
[ Folkmore was a real weird time for him, in fact. ]
I won't let you die, even if there's a ghost.
[ He does mean that, as much as he can mean it. He knows better than anyone that no one can promise to keep anyone else safe, not really, not with any certainty. People die. Things go wrong. Even Eren couldn't see everything, even when he was holding most of the cards. And here, he can't see the future at all.
But he's always been determined to save the few people he's decided to care about.
He moves on to the next grave in the row, the one on the end, Yamask floating along as well. ]
I don't really know how it works, but Yamask can curse other ghosts. So…maybe it will help if something shows up, too.
[ Yamask looks up at him with its weird, tearful eyes. He has no idea if it actually understands him, but whatever. Someone should really teach him how to communicate effectively with Pokemon. ]
Let's go after this one. It's not like they gave us a quota.
[ And it's not like Levi is here to dictate cleaning standards. This is chronologically before Levi is here at all, in fact. ]
