Spirit was at a loss for words.Ā
Her expression was just so sad, her voice so quiet and fragile. When she speaks, it sounds like sheās biting out her words, struggling to try to cut out a piece of her soul and put it in front of him so that he can understand. It sounds like sheās desperate for him to.Ā Ā
She hadnāt confided to him like this in...hell, he didnāt even know how long. His Maka is a tough girl, she doesnāt bleed her emotions everywhere like he does, and she would never go to anyone she hates for help...
...which means she must be hurting, if sheās turning to him.Ā
Hurting, and desperate for some sort of closure. The realization hit him suddenly and heavily, straight into his heart.
Itās been difficult, in the wake of Kidās ascension. So much has changed, so many people have been left reeling. Spirit would be lying if he said he wasnāt one of them- his meister is dead, after all. Lord Deathās passing is something heād known had been coming for a while, but grief doesnāt care how much you prepare. Heād been busying himself helping Azusa with affairs in Oceania and Europe, helping Kid adjust to being the new Grim Reaper, and even helping Soul adjust to being a new Death Scythe. Heād probably been seeing more of Soul lately than his daughter had, come to think of it, and wasnāt that kind of a weird thought.
Itād been a rough road. Heād had to do some soul-searching himself. He still has to do some soul-searching, probably. Heās not sure where heās meant to go from here either, but heās holding out some hope that heāll figure it out. Maybe.
At the very least, he should be able to help his daughter figure it out for herself too. Though admittedly, thatās easier said than done.
āYouāre not lost, Maka,ā he tried, going ahead and placing a hand on her shoulder.Ā āSoulās still here, isnāt he? Heās not going anywhere, and neither are you.ā
