‘Alright, we’ll run some tests next.’
They’re in one of the padded rooms of the hospital’s psych wards, cleared of all furniture except for a large table in the middle. Yagen sits in his wheelchair on the other side, gesturing to the collection of miscellaneous items spread out before him as he holds onto clipboard and pen:
A rabbit’s foot. Preserved four-leaf clovers. Maneki nekos, some omamoris from Little Tokyo, a solid horseshoe, evil eyes, a pot of bamboo, a pile of acorns, etc.
‘These are all supposed to be lucky charms,’ the tantou says calmly. ‘If you hold onto enough of them, maybe it’ll counteract your...condition.’
