I suppose if you were an independent, or come from a less prolific clan, you may not have accrued as many grudges... In any case, Sight can disappear with age, as well, and if you have no heir to carry on the business then your shiki- ah, that is, your ayakashi servants- may continue to protect you until your death, as part of your contract with them.

Although I have heard of some complications stemming from that...

[Matoba wouldn't have to worry about that. Matoba clanheads never lived long enough for that to be a problem.]

[His hand reaches upward towards the sheet of paper, the spell that covered his right eye, and brushes aside the bangs that usually covered it.] This spelltag... You can see it, right? Normally, you wouldn't be able to.

[He lets his hair drop again, and props his chin in one hand with a lazy smirk.] There is a particularly nasty one for which my family is quite famous. Would you like to hear the story, Kim-san?
