So it is the feather then?
Though Watanuki is still disagreeing over the value of it, so maybe it's the curse?
...Is the the feather also the curse? I MEAN MAYBE
I'm increasingly suspicious that we won't find out all the consequences of this until the sequel. If we were looking for another "there is something that needs to be fixed in the universe" event, this certainly fits the description - a price paid incorrectly out of desperation.
But still! At least they’re on the same wavelength.
... and xxxholic has a sequel too. HMM. Thoughts for later.
But all that aside, what we get here is them both solemnly explaining their thoughts and decision to - the universe, I guess? In which we can intuit that Lava Lamp is continuing to pay for THE THING HE ALREADY PAID FOR, because what other “sins” has he even committed aside from being heckled into doing a time travel by Evil Wolverine? How are all the prices they've paid not covered that - unless the universe is somehow charging them for the results of their decisions instead of just their decisions? Which doesn't sound very hitsuzen to me, so I'm not sure that would be it.
Whatever they're actually paying for Watanuki still doesn’t think the price is even correct and says as much, but I think the fact that they’re both CHOOSING to pay this price willingly despite the consequences is hopefully the thing that will get them out.
Now if only that receipt ghost could clarify what exactly the transaction is.
OH BUT IT WORKED.
Oh gosh, ok, sorry Syaoran it looks like your feather remains may or may not be the price the universe is taking for your children to escape the void which they are being held in for unexplained and implausible reasons.
But at least it worked?
Oh THIS I love though!
10/10 Watanuki Lava Lamp bonding moment now that they both get to continue to live.
We love to see it.
