Playmaker-san asked a good question about if our powers defined us. It's something I've been thinking about lately.

What if you have a power that goes against even your biology?

If it changes something about you that's always been a requirement?

As a Ghoul, I've always had to eat humans to live. There's no other way, it's how Ghouls are. How our bodies work.

But...the Porter has made it so I can eat human food now.

Before it made me sick. It tasted horrible. But now it's good, it doesn't make me weaker to eat it. If I can eat human food to live now, instead of humans...

Does that change who I am? Does it change what I am?

I have always been a Ghoul. I don't know how to be anything else.

[ 'i don't know if i want to be anything else' goes unsaid, but it's there.

thanks for the existential crisis, kidou. ]

Maya-san!

[ Hinami is on her way as soon as she spots Maya. She's a little nervous, having never ridden on a scooter before. Nonetheless she obediently clamors on behind the medium. ]

Where are we going?

[missleadingquestions]

To commit a crime.

[Maya says without a second thought, reaching back to hold Hinami steady with one hand as she pulls off on the scooter. Once they're going forward she lets Hinami go and starts to laugh]

We're going out for Udon!
