Hold on for one more day

[Alva Ren]

No
WE will get the mark off

You and ME! We're a team! You don't get to call yourself my partner if we can't do this together!

[Shimizu Susumu]

Alva, I don't think you can.

[Alva Ren]

You don't know that!
And you don't have the right to speak for me. I speak for myself!

So
You'd better stop keeping secrets, Susu! And you're still in a lot of trouble for putting that memory curse thing on me!! It even affected my cousin and my friends!

[Shimizu Susumu]

I'm not just saying it to protect you, although that is part of it.
I just don't know if you have the ability to help in this.

In fact, with that mark on you, it might be that the less you know, the better.

[Alva Ren]

...I'll do whatever I can to help, even if it's not much. Maybe what little I can do can tip the scales, you don't know.

What does this mark mean? Does it do something to me?
Earlier I blacked out. I think... I might have hurt someone.

[Shimizu Susumu]

You said it took over the mark my curse placed on you?

[Alva Ren]

Yes, right over where your mark used to be.

I don't feel anything from it, though. It's just there.

[Shimizu Susumu]

So
another curse.

[Alva Ren]

I think so...
And curses can only be taken away by the person who cast them, right?

[Shimizu Susumu]

Yes, normally.
Unless....

[Alva Ren]

What? Unless what??

[Shimizu Susumu]

Something much bigger is at play now.
What do you think can override a witch? Not just another witch.
But the origin of witches.

[Alva Ren]

If I can't do anything then how can you, if he or she... MADE all witches??

[Shimizu Susumu]

That's the problem, isn't it?

[Alva Ren]

Susu, what's really going on? You know. I know you know.

I'm going to keep asking until you tell me, so you might as well just spill it right now!
