Hold on for one more day

[Shimizu Susumu]

Alva? Where are you?

[Alva Ren]

Susu!

I'm with Ry and Yoojin. Where are you? I've been looking for you all day!

[Shimizu Susumu]

I was helping an old friend.

Stay where you are, all right?

[Alva Ren]

Okay. I'll stay with them until you can get here.

Susu
Something happened

The mark from the curse, it's gone. There's a new mark there now. I don't know what's going on. Please tell me what's happening!

[Shimizu Susumu]

Somebody more powerful than me is
overriding my magic.

[Alva Ren]

But why
Why me? Did they do something

Are you okay?! Is it an enemy? Are you in danger?

[Shimizu Susumu]

You're an easy target. I tried to protect you but I
should have known something like this would happen.
I'm sorry
I was careless.

[Alva Ren]

Was that why you cast the memory spell?

Also you didn't answer the question Susu! Are you in danger?? Please be careful! If you need help I can
I can help!

[Shimizu Susumu]

It probably wasn't the best solution. It was supposed to be a temporary solution, really. That's the problem with curses, though. They're... well, they're curses.

[Alva Ren]

You!
You stop avoiding my question Susu! You just tell me right now, do you hear me?!

[Shimizu Susumu]

I think you already know the answer, Alva.

[Alva Ren]

Who is it? What is it?
Why do they want to hurt you?!

[Shimizu Susumu]

The irony is the worst of the danger isn't from hunters.
Hunters can't use magic, let alone turn it on me.
I've painted quite the target on myself. I expected it from them, honestly.

Alva, there are questions I can't answer. You'll understand one day.

[Alva Ren]

Don't you dare say that. You can't say that and expect me to nod and be okay with knowing ONE DAY when there's danger TODAY!

And
If this person or... or whatever they are has been using me and putting their mark on me then I deserve to know too because I'm involved!

Don't do this alone, Susu. Let me help
Please

[Shimizu Susumu]

I'll get that mark off you if it kills me.
