❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜ / mei mei
‘ knowledge is currency. anything that can be traded for benefit is profitable. more so than certain people, anyway. ’
in a sense, it’s easier to discard those who add no value to life, relationships or the flow of cursed energy that she so painstakingly worked to strengthen. met with the tough wall of reality, her mind shifted elsewhere, to those confines where limits are to be bended, and isn’t money an equally powerful force as a sorcerer’s bow? toji fushiguro did kill the strongest, after all.
but there are other things, too…
mei mei watches her carefully, the almond-shaped fingernails that trace words on paper softly, the scratch of a butterfly’s kiss on petals. it reminds her of the tranquil mornings sharing tea with her grandparents, the first days of high school when they were so young and so naive, yet filled to the brim with hopes that their powers will be of use. maybe this is what akari’s nature inspires on others: memoirs, rekindling, the fresh honesty of an earnest girl. that’s what she looks like to mei mei anyways.
she moves her braid, just above her shoulder, silver-snake against black silk.
hand on her waist, mei mei continues, ‘ what did it take to make you realize that, hm? just curiosity. you don’t have to answer. ’
