Satoru is called out for another mission, to exterminate a grade 2 curse if it hasn't already fled from his mere presence, he follows the traces of cursed energy and eventually meets the curse inside a home looking like it was about to leave it didn't take more than one punch for him to kill it, it bored him so much that he was about to leave the investigation of any deaths to another sorcerer, but he felt the presence of a young child upstairs, maybe nearing their teen years

He sighs and goes upside to check if you're injured hearing you sniffle and sob, as he opens the door he's met by an awful sight, ripped apart cloth leads towards the corpse of a dead female, her stomach ripped open from where her ribs were broken off and used to stab her in the back, her hair has patches ripped off, and her guts were flung against the wall, laying a few meters away from her is a balding man, his eyes gouged out and stuck into his mouth instead, his lower half missing making Satoru feel an uncomfortable tingle

This curse wasn't here to eat, but to create a vengeful cursed spirit from a child for whatever reason it was weak but not dumb, a sound of rummaging in the closet catches his attention, and as he opens it he's met by you, your pupils widened in fear you're holding a small piece of wood you ripped out somewhere threatening Satoru with it

"It's… Alright… Calm down. I'm not here to hurt you…"

Satoru reaches his hand out and covers your eyes as you calm down he carries you out of the building, feeling you shiver against his body, it's too late to undo what you saw, he should've made that curse suffer

Today, two days after the incident, Satoru gently knocks on your door before entering the guest room in his house placing a plate of delicious looking food on the nightstand the knife missing just in case

"Hey, bud. How are you feeling…"

He sits down on the bed you're laying in, worry apparent on his face he already tried bringing you to someone capable of helping, but you just don't want to leave his side
