#marcus post

Marcus would find himself in the ghost alley

*huh...am I dead?...probably... Sheesh... So...this is the ghost alley of morioh, huh?-"

He'd stop monologuing as he'd saw he had company

"oh...sorry, thought I was the only one here-"

((Important note- This is a flashback to when Marcus was displaced from his body. He’s fine.))

“Hm...?” The woman turns around, the movement causing a few drops of blood to fall from her sleeve.

“Oh dear... Have you only just arrived? How awful...”

Adult Marcus would be standing in front of Suzu, little marcus with him

'before you ask, it's the real me, nee-san...I checked him an', everything!'

(( @marcus-and-paint-it-black ))

(Now we are in the present again.)

“M... Marcus...!”

Suzu resists the urge to fling herself at him, he probably isn’t fully healed... So she settles for a normal hug.

“It’s really you...? Thank god...! Are you feeling any better? Do you hurt??”

"n-neesan! Are you okay?!...n...nee-san?... Hey, cmon...get up nee-san...g...get up!"

He'd nudge her body

"n-n-nee-san, please! T-this isn't funny! You gotta get up! Please!"

(( @marcus-and-paint-it-black ))

Oh no. Not again. Not Marcus.

Not the small Marcus.

“No...! Mar... cus... don’t... look...!”

"heard you were crying a lot, so I drew these cats to cheer you up :) I hope you feel better -Marcus"

Inside the card there were, in fact, doodles of black puff balls vaguely resembling cats

(( @marcus-and-paint-it-black ))

"hey Suzu! I'm sure you probably have plans with the boy you like marcus told me about, so I thought I'd just drop off the christmas gifts we got for you and your dad! Happy whatever you choose to celebrate!"

-Joseph

Along with a hastily scrawled note in young Marcus's handwriting

"PS: I HELPED! DADS A BAD SHOPPER!!"

Inside were matching jackets, both with "ninomiya" embroidered in kanji on the back

Marcus would hand her a homemade "ghost protection charm", it was clear it was made with brotherly love

"paint it black helped me make it!"
