“A cat forced it on me yesterday.”
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;a cat? What, again?”
Kusamakura didn’t know what he meant by that. He was avoided by those around him. The only one who would ever talk to him was Shunshou, so it was strange to Kusamakura that a cat would hand over anything to him.
“I don’t really get it, but&h.e.l.lip;..I feel like I’m starting to get it somehow.”
“Ooh?”
“Nothing’s reflecting. She was making fun of me. That hateful cat.”
Actually, it reflected everything but himself. However, he didn’t need to say that much. Kusamakura held out the mirror to Shunshou. He seemed confused as he took the mirror from Kusamakura. He then messed with his bangs some.
“It’s reflecting clearly to me. Looks like it was just polished.”
“Don’t be stupid.”
He had been looking into it all morning, but nothing was reflecting back. When he frantically looked into the mirror, Shunshou’s face was certainly reflected there. He immediately held up the mirror that was given back to him, but as expected nothing was reflected.
“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;nothing’s reflecting.”
