[MASAMUNE THIS IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD because 9S is...absolutely eating this up.......
He's kind of making a close equivalent to the surprised pikachu face about now, anyway; Masamune settles back, but 9S is leaning forward at his perch in turn, elbows planting on his knees and features alight with--fascination??]
You know--it might just be, right?! If we're in the same area, and it's some kind of resort... [Of course, the baths are no longer particularly bloody if not actually kind of mildly cursed for sure oops, but it was...probably a little while ago. How old would a human dad's dad be, anyway? Hmm--he could crunch the numbers if he tried, but in the end that's kind of beside the point too. 9S feels like he's got more of a gist of the definition behind "yakuza" now, even from a story like this--some kind of group organization, then...with rival groups, apparently? But even more importantly--]
You think they're still around, then? The spirits! Can we go see them?
[He's got a rough concept of what "spirits" are, anyway, the same way the rough concept of a "curse" also hangs around. The prospect of spirits being an Actual Thing in This Actual Location, though......
Well. 9S certainly seems more excited than actually alarmed--very sincerely so, too. MASAMUNE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE....]
