Reimu’s fingers became unwound, Hana was ready to act if she so much as moved too fast, but her mother simply balled her fists letting her knuckles go white with the same faux calm over her face. Hana despised every word that came out of her mouth, memories, way too many for her to count came flooding past her mind’s eye as her eyes started to water a bit as well from the rage she felt.

Still, her mother did not stop speaking, “A-after you were born, I couldn’t stand the thought of you looking up to another, I knew what I looked like, I knew what I was, I knew what you’d think of me. Instead of keeping up and becoming someone to admire I thought it’d be easier to just use my gifts and keep you at my side by force... Kasen loved you so much, she would bring her animals down from the mountain and your father would run around keeping up with your energy as you played with them, he’d fuss over you so much… And-and I couldn’t stand the thought of you looking up to her, or Marisa, or Kosuzu, or Akyuu, or anyone else. I did what I do best and I isolated you on purpose, I cheered when you came home form school as quick as you could and when you stopped trying to make friends, I was happy that you’d given up. Hana, I ruined you on purpose, neglected your training so you couldn’t leave easily, and most importantly kept you from anyone that could let you see how terrible things wereb=, so you’d never think of expanding out!”

Listening to her every word Hana couldn’t help but let her anger overtake her good reason. Despite the fact that Reimu still looked like she had more to say, that cutting off her mother was always a dangerous thing to do. Hana still spoke, her voice was barely contained rage that trembled like a leaf, “Is that why you’re trying to treat me so nicely now? Because you realized how horrible you were? You think some tea and dango would make everything better?!”

It took all her self-control to not scream her frustrations, she could feel the tears forming on the edge of her eyes, she could feel her hands tremble in undisguised rage, she knew that her mother could kill her without much fuss if she struck fast enough; Hana didn’t care in this moment. Her voice carried over the table, it was all she had in her arsenal so she used it well, “You could’ve killed me and it would’ve been better! All those years of you hurting father, of making my life hell and hurting me over the simplest mistakes, and for what?! Just so you could control people that you hated?!”

Something in her mother’s eyes was threatening to burst, something was coming and Hana wanted her to strike and prove her right. This wasn’t about Yukari or freeing her father, in this moment all that the world comprised of was her and her mother. The pitch of Hana’s voice rose as she started unconsciously lifting herself onto her knees, her hands gripped the table tightly, “You hated me, you hated father, you hated everyone and all you wanted was to make us miserable! I never wanted to see you again but you just wouldn’t go away, I wanted me and dad to be happy but you kept looking for us, you kept pushing us into a corner and now look at it! I don’t even know if I’ll ever see dad again and here you are pretending that everything will be okay if you say sorry!”

Hana breathed heavily as she stared at her mother, her breath was hot and shuddering as she glared at her. Reimu tried to close her eyes again, her body was tense as iron, Hana thought the time was finally here. That now she’d see her mother snap like always and be proven right, that she’d swing her gohei like always, or maybe manifest her power and try snapping her body like a twig. She would finally be proven right and everyone would hate her forever, no one would come to her aid anymore an- ‘You’re right’ was what she got in response.

It cut Hana’s thoughts off and even though her glare didn’t abate she felt a growing surprise as she took in her mother’s eyes and body language from every sporadic angle she could catch the light of. Reimu was red in the face, her body was rigid and she clutched the air as if she could move the sky in her fists, yet it wasn’t rage that painted her mother’s face.

It was sorrow.

Now that I know youkai are all just monsters preying on men for their vitality, none of them will be able to steal any from me.
Hmm, now that I think about it, human women work in similar way. Baby trapping, lazy, stinking liars. They just threaten to kill and eat you less often, and take away your money when they can.
I suppose I should stay away from them too. Stay pure not for humanity, but for myself. That's the true way.

The only sound you could hear was the chilling wind and the sounds of sniffing coming from the disheveled miko as her emotions got the better of her for the second time. You felt pangs of pain from simply seeing this display but you couldn't show her your love just yet so you took a quiet sip of tea to settle yourself mentally as you waited patiently for her to do the same. Eventually she settled herself wiping her face on her juban and faced you again albeit with reluctance and you could see the manifest emotion in her eyes as it glistened in the light from the lamps. She started working her mouth slowly once again stopped for a second and sipped her tea before continuing in the same soft trembling voice "I thought It was the sake at first... that it was the sake making me act like a monster! but I learned it wasn't..." she trembled, but the room was warm enough that it wasn't from the cold. "You know... i've thought about it for three weeks straight, three weeks of nothing but this" Reimu glances around the trashed living room with tired eyes,"I've realized something in that time... I was really just using the sake as an excuse all my actions were only own...".
Reimu was silent for a time after that just occasionally sipping her tea as seemed to be in thought and you couldn't help but replay the events of that one summer day when Yukari first appeared before you in all her splendor and terror warning you of your fate.
"I knew you weren't a normal girl from the start, you know the villagers always spoke of you with a bit of awe and reverence. Even the youkai treaded lightly when your name came up and that was something i've simply never seen before!" your voice was even and you were careful to give no warmth despite the kind memories that flooded back. "I've been in Gensokyo for 4 years by now, and by your side for almost as long, I thought I knew you like the back of my hand for those two years of peace and I thought I could be your support when things got bad for you but I learned that I can't quell your demons...". Reimu's pink eyes widened for a second before she reasserted control over herself, though you could tell she struggled to do so. "Reimu... only you can fight your own darkness, i've tried and failed and you took advantage of that time and time again. I'm tired of living like this Reimu"
Her flushed gaunt face seemed even more tired now but showed little surprise, only resigned acceptance that tried to hide behind a practiced emotionless mask but you knew better then to be fooled. "...I know... I don't deserve forgiveness..." the trembling in her voice intensified again "but... I don't want to lose you.. not again!" the mask she had on started crumbling showing that vulnerable side of her that even you've rarely seen "You know no one would tell me where you went! I thought you really died since even my intuition couldn't find you and Yukari wouldn't answer my calls even though I know she doesn't start hibernating yet!". The damn burst finally "I was so angry at first, I thought everyone was making a fool out of me! that they were all in on it and did it out of resentment so I looked and looked and looked for days and days!! But I could never find you now matter how hard I looked..." Reimu slumped down again, despite the burst of energy it seemed the well has gone dry. "Then I gave up... I couldn't do anything but lay there, all the friends I once had wouldn't tell me even after I beat them at danmaku... and looking for you lead nowhere... they just stared at me in disgust wanted nothing to do with me...", the tired expression resurfaced this time but it seemed she was too exhausted to show any emotion instead of concealing it. "So please. please don't leave me... i'll do anything..." she muttered out slumped onto the table looking exhausted.
Seeing her like this hurt even more then pain she's inflicted over the years, but it was necessary and you knew it. You reached into your robe's inner pocket and pulled out a blade. It was nothing special really but it was a knife you bought from a vendor you knew well and used it often and with care, its sharp point and keen blade would cut through frozen meat with ease. You placed it on the table and gave it a small push, sliding it over to Reimu's side. To Reimu's puzzled face you said in a blank tone, "I'm tired of living like this, you always lying about being sorry then return to your ways the second its convenient. But I made a vow to stick by you in sickness and health, through good times and bad, and till death do us part. I intend to keep my vows..." Her face showed slow realization then horror "I'm tired of living like this Reimu, you'll change of your own volition and cure yourself of this sickness and i'll support you every step of the way like always or you kill me now rather then force me to die slowly a second time, even as you are you're more then strong enough to cut my neck open..."
You maintained eye contact as she made her decision.

What did we do to deserve this?

What now?

Please get better Reimu!

My LoLK is lagging when there are more lasers on the screen, which leads to unplayability. Even on my new Laptop. Why

Gensokyo's greatest enemy, Earth's greatest enemy.

Wants to kill every living thing on Earth, and is therefore it least 1000x worse than Hitler.

P-please stop smelling my pantsu a-anon-kun...

Playing videogames like fps or mmos just feel so pointless now. Always the same shit with depending on others to carry you through regardless of how good you do.

Reading is where it's at. Have I reached the next stage of NEET evolution?

Shhh! He's so torn over Reimu getting married to someone other than himself that he's denying reality.

Here's Reimu demonstrating how and what he looks like.

Hey /jp/, I'm shitting up this board because moot is actually ripping people off, and /q/ is gone.

I bought a pass to take it easier with my posting, and had no issues for the first year. Recently though, moot has changed the way passes work, in that they're now included in bans. This means if you get a ban, then change your IP, your pass is used to ban you again for ban evasion for an additional 3 days.

This is fair enough, but it stacks. And if you happen to have a dynamic IP, your pass gets auto-reported again if it changes. Because my ISP is shitty, my internet disconnects at least once every 2 days, resulting in an IP change. Thus, I get auto-banned. Permanently. My pass is now utterly worthless, because it's not possible for me to go 3 days without changing IP.

I still have 11 months left on this stupid thing I can no longer use, and moot doesn't care. What the fuck am I supposed to do?

There's no need to bully me, I was just posting what I'm doing with the one resource all NEETs have, time. Look, you made Reimu cry.
