She wanted him strong.
She had always wanted that.
Not because she needed him to be. She loves him, and would lay down her life without hesitation to protect him.
But because he needed it.
He was an exorcist.
A Reizen.
He could pretend otherwise. He could run, fill his days with normal things, surround himself with people who didn't see what he saw, make normal friends, go on normal dates.
It wouldn't matter.
The spirit world would find him.
It always did.
The ones with the sight never stayed untouched.
He needed to survive the moments she wasn't there.
And there would be moments.
She was honest about that.
She could be sealed.
She could be destroyed.
She had died before.
She could die again.
She would come back.
She always did.
But...
Kaito would not.
If he died once, that was the end.
Even imagining made her heart ache.
So she would push him.
Quietly.
At his pace.
