Spirit (D5, EA, Expecting but open)

[Otomo Saisei]

Taking a deep breath, he looks to Kio wit a controlled smile and asks. "Would Daidoji-san like to see this curse end and the ghost she mentioned to be previously to be happy again with her family without bothering others?"

[Daidoji Kio]

She narrowed her eyes and said, "I want to kick that ghost in the face."

[Otomo Saisei]

The Otomo still holds his temples with his right hand and tells Kio calmly, "Daidoji-san. We should always show courtesy to our enemies. If there's a peaceful solution with high chance of success, it should be taken first, no?"

[Daidoji Kio]

"She tried to hurt my auntie, vengeance is the only answer," she said confidently. Perhaps she understood the statement but she was not thinking as a samurai but as a hurt child dealing with an impossible situation.

[Otomo Saisei]

"The best way to do so is to undo the curse she causes. For that I would need the soldier toy you have named after her previously. Could you give it to me?" Saisei asks, trying to explain.

[Daidoji Kio]

"No."

"If you are going to break it, I am going to," she said in reply.

[Doji Yuma]

"Why would we break it?"

Yuma was sincerely confused by that answer.

[Daidoji Kio]

"Why would we break it?"

Yuma was sincerely confused by that answer.

"Because you break curses, duh," she said in reply.

[Otomo Saisei]

"Daidoji-san, please reconsider. We do need this toy intact, as Doji-san is saying. He is a priest, we ought to respect his knowledge. Can you give it to us?" He asks nicely for the last time.

[Daidoji Kio]

"No, I am going too," she said in reply.

[Otomo Saisei]

"Listen to me, now, Daidoji-san. You're a young child. Not even a samurai. A Doji priest is requesting you to deliver the toy to him, and an Imperial Seyaku. Yet, you keep throwing this childish tantrum. Give this toy to me now! Else, I'll send a letter to your dear auntie showing how well you have learned her lessons in courtesy and etiquette."

[Daidoji Kio]

"I can't. I have to go, you don't understand!" she said back.

"My auntie is already poisoned by the ghost! I have to fix this and if you try to take it, it will come back! Try it and I will kick you too."

[Doji Yuma]

"What are you talking about? Going where? And Daidoji Yushoko possessed? I would have sensed it if that was the case..."

An awkward pause.

"... Probably. Ghosts aren't an exact science."

And Yuma was especially bad at detecting spirits who used to be humans.

[Daidoji Kio]

"See you don't even see what is happening, this day keeps repeating and everyone just acts like it is normal," she said angrily.

"I have to go, it's how it has to be or I will die tomorrow! We have to fix this tonight!"

[Otomo Saisei]

"We know the day is repeating, Daidoji-san. I have head visions of what happened to her. Her parents. They need to be together again. These dolls are the answer."

[Daidoji Kio]

"I said what I said," she said defiantly.

[Otomo Saisei]

"Fine. Then you come, with me. Deal?" The Otomo squints his eyes.

[Daidoji Kio]

"No, you're coming with me," she responded.

"Deal."
