━───"So what you mean to say is that you're planning to create a core?"
If Kartein were in his human form, he would surely stare blankly at Chiye before placing a hand at the bridge of his nose. Sadly, he's in his cat form, and he could only place a paw on his forehead to show both his disbelief and speechlessness at Chiye's idea.
Somehow, it feels like he traveled into that certain time where Chiye asked why an awakened core cannot be stolen or why a stolen core cannot be used. "Kid, you're having a crazy idea again."
Of course, Kartein can still remember how crazy and 'innovative' the young girl is. But to think she would come up with an idea like creating a goddamn core...
"It's impossible to create a core, Chiye." Kartein said the honest truth without any hesitation. He had already helped Chiye do some experiments in hopes she could use force control, but to his disappointment, the energy they use as awakened doesn't seem to work on Chiye. More like, the energy that awakeners have doesn't flow naturally in her body, causing her to be unable to use any awakened power.
Chiye tilted her head, "How do you know it's impossible? Have you tried it before, Mr.Kartein?"
"No."
"Then...?"
Kartein sighs, "If a core can be created, then the world will be filled with awakened people."
Chiye: "...."
That makes sense.
If everyone could see cursed spirits like them, everyone would either succumb to the power and become bad guys or become jujutsu sorcerers like them. But still....
"I can still try, right?"
No matter how impossible it is, Chiye doesn't care. Before, she was so hesitant about trying to learn because she didn't want to leave this world with a reminder. She thought that if she wanted to go back home, she would not leave her mark here or take anything in this world with her, except for the memories. Yet the conversation she held with Kartein regarding this matter, as well as the welcoming feeling she felt here, made her change her mind completely.
