Not usually. [ After a moment he sits down next to the stream since this might turn into story time. ]
Most people who get hit with curses can't see them. They can feel them yeah, and it affects them, drives them crazy, but it's mostly in their head. The whispers in their ear, the feeling of dread stuff like that.
But me—I was cursed and forced to play a "game" before all of this. This spirit pretty much forced me to play with other spirits since it was fun for her. I had a certain amount of time to figure out how to win and if I didn't, I'd die. As the clock wound down she'd send me a reminder in the form of laughing mouths all over my skin.
[ Nagako has no idea what to do with this but she seems more flustered than opposed. There's probably hopping involved. ]
My niece, well I guess she's technically my sister now, got sucked into the game first. I wasn't just going to let Kakuya take her. [ He looks at their two daemons with a bit of a scrunched up look on his face. There might be more to this but it does sound like he is telling the truth. ]
Both. She was a big name, I guess? I had never heard of her but I don't pay attention to any of that stuff. She knew all the urban legends so she could have been more useless.
[ Look at this stellar review he is giving her, 2.1 stars. ]
Someone has to play lookout for the cops, and one of them was afraid of boats. [ There's a flicker of a smile here that doesn't linger. ]
But things happened to them too. I got most of the curses and haunting, but Hazuki was stuck in a coma for a while cause I was forced to make a choice.

[ And he does remember Akira's profile saying he's cursed. ]
I wasn't aware it's something that makes itself so known to the victim.

What did you do to get cursed in the first place? You've mentioned dealing with ghosts improperly can get you cursed.

An unfortunate turn of events… And you haven’t lifted your curse yet.
[ Since the profile makes it sound current? ]

Whether you're still cursed or not, at least it didn't seem to follow you. [ This makes him feel grateful. ] Daemons are definitely better.

[ He would also list 2.1 stars cause must be annoying? ]
The one I speak of was similar in that they were useful. Could even describe them as prophetic.

[ He rolls his shoulders and looks to the side. ]
Yeah? Could they actually see the future or were they just good at guessing?

[ Actually. ]
I suppose it’s similar enough if we think of it as reading people.
