[A message arrives not long after his conversation with Sparrow.]

I'll cut to the chase.

Sparrow believes he should use his wish to overcome his issues with memory and perception, but he wants your approval first.

Since we're not certain he'll remember on his own, I'm messaging you so that you can speak to him and encourage him.

I trust you have no objections?

I'm Karasu, one of the more "recent" Akechis.

I come from a world where we successfully defeated Maruki, and I lived to tell the tale.


[...]

But this isn't about me, or berating you for your choices. I'm reaching out on Sparrow's behalf, because he wants your approval before using his wish to overcome his memory issues.

[Karasu attaches a link to their conversation.]

See for yourself. Our conversation wasn't locked.

Good. He has a great deal of faith in you.

[...

He could leave it at that, and yet...]


So, you chose his reality.

It sickens me, obviously, but you likely already know that.

I had already suspected that if we chose Maruki's reality, I would cease to be "myself." Every flaw, every traumatic experience that shaped me would be scrubbed away. What is that, if not another form of death?

I'm certain some other versions of me want to mold him back to the person he was.

Having spoken to him, I believe his ability to perceive and understand the world around him is more pertinent. He is who he is now, and by the sound of it, you have assumed some semblance of responsibility for your mistake.

So, really, I fail to see what harming you would accomplish, but I will be watching to ensure you keep your word this time.

No, I believe that's all.

Keep your word, and we won't have any issues.
