Sometime after it all Kogasa has been wracked with guilt. She barely ventured out of the formerly abandoned dwelling she made into her home/blacksmithing workshop anymore. Her friends were worried and didn't understand her woes; Kagerou and Sekibanki didn't understand the big deal if she killed a human by accident.

Wakasagihime understood her sadness, but Kogasa couldn't get out that much anymore to be consoled. It wasn't just because she feared the red and white coming for vengeance, it wasn't because of guilt driving her to become more isolated, nor was it because of the fear of those humans she has always wanted to be useful too rejecting her again.

It was because of one simple reason, the man she had killed has come back to haunt her as a vengeful spirit! Almost every day it seemed, while she was at market or simply hopping around trying to be of help to others she'd see him. A specter dressed as any other, not even arousing the smallest bit of suspicion from the magic-blind humans.

The first time she saw him was after she took a small job helping an old lady get her delivery from the market. She almost dropped the produce and other commodities as he sat there on a small bench. It was like a snapshot from another lifetime ago.

The specter didn't even appear to notice Kogasa, it simply stared off into the distance. It was unmoving, his hands holding his head as his elbows rested on his knees. He didn't move an inch as she stared transfixed. That was until he turned his head towards Kogasa!

Kogasa's legs went cold as it seemed his malevolent gaze swept her up into a clammy and claustrophobic head space. His eyes squinted slightly as if he found a victim to torment. Then it stood up! No one else seemed to pay him any mind as he walked towards her, as he seemed to gather air into his lungs to cast a curse on her she sprinted off with the groceries in hand and tears in her eyes.

That surprised me!

The umbrella is still part of her body, do not post gore in Kogasa's thread
