☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Having seen the mage off and letting out a heavy sigh, Ayano sits down on the bed. She places a doll on one side of her and the shopkeeper on the other, then puts each of their heads on her respective knee. "Well, my little doggies. You're both two-headed, flea-ridden, and colonial... " she mutters, staring into the distance and stroking her patients' hair. "Couldn't you have given me an easier task? There's always trouble with you, and it's the same here. I could say that this is karma for your sins, even if they're not your own, but collective sins, but that kind of comment leaves a bad taste in my mouth... How about Anuzish? Not very good? I understand, I can't blame you for that. You're viruses, by the way. Funny, isn't it? And I'm the cure. What's stopping me from getting rid of you? Nothing at all. Maybe it would be better for you, after everything you've been through. But still, it would leave a bad feeling. It's not good when someone drowns puppies in the river, even if they're completely clueless, loud, and not very cute," she falls silent for a moment, then says to Lolita. "So, it turns out you cursed yourself, or did he curse you? I never quite understood, but it seems like that's possible here. Maybe it's something like a 'disease from nerves'? Who knows... And do you even understand what I'm talking about? Phantom said that you're following instructions, but it's still difficult to read you... Blink twice if you understand what I'm saying. Otherwise, maybe I'm just talking to myself."
