For those who have heard of and are trying to find the snake-woman some villagers have mentioned, I have some information: it seems she is a "mother" and is looking for her child.

I do not know what she is and what her child looks like and I also do not know if she is dangerous, but given she prefers to flee than to attack, I suppose that says something about her. [ but then again, a lot of people wouldn't care, would they? She looks different and that's often good enough.

But Kaneki is not about to go on a moral rant about this ]

You can do as you wish with this information, naturally. [ he will judge you if you decide to hunt her ] But if anyone wishes to help her, I'd like to try finding her child or aid her somehow.

[ why, you ask? because Kaneki has shit loads of mommy issues that's why. ]

... Another lost spirit. Why are they so many of them here? This place feels like it's under the weight of a thousand curses. What have those people done to warrant this?

[enucleation]

I have been wondering the same. There are curses everywhere: cursed beings, curses on new arrivals and curses on old arrivals.

Perhaps people being here is the reason why this is warranted.

[scrapgege]

earlier in Ellethia it felt like the land itself was cursed. This feels more like the people are...

And they don't seem to mind all that much.

[enucleation]

No, they are giving curses away. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but-- they seem to prefer to have these curses around. [ how has no one thought it's weird as hell to give newcomers curses for them to atone? ]

[scrapgege]

It's really strange.

Although I guess they probably have lived this way for generations, most of them might not even remember anything different. Back in Sa-Hareth, the stories wend back a few hundred years. No one alive remembered what it was like before.

[enucleation]

We learn through history and what happened in the past; it's important to know, so you can prepare for the future.

[ a pause ] It's strange that a place where you are meant to carry the curse of your ancestors would forget how things ended up like this.

[scrapgege]

Someone probably knows. Someone always knows. The problem is finding them and convincing them to talk.

[enucleation]

Indeed. There are far too many people to ask each of them individually. [ which means they have to snoop around ]

[scrapgege]

They're also scared of the Clan ruling over them, it makes them more skittish.
