[viktor leans against the table, fascinated as he nods along to this.] I had not yet considered that corruption could have proper mirrors in other worlds the way magic does. If you had any notes you were willing to share on cursed energy in your world I would be very grateful, it might help in our research to be able to look at a similar yet wholly different form of corruption.

[and as megumi continues viktor tries not to frown- yes, he doesn't love the idea of children having to confront what he saw that day regularly. it does not sound like an easy life, which hardly surprises him but also hardly pleases him.]

Like when I saw it in the loop. It was... startling, to put it lightly. [he considers that for a moment before shaking the thought.] Fushiguro, you should know I am a blunt and curious person, I often ask questions others find prying or irritating, one way or another. I respect you a great deal, which is why I am warning that and telling you there is certainly no ill will if you tell me to drop my line of questioning at any moment.

I do want to ask if working with cursed energy like this raises your own corruption levels in turn. I know Allen can purge himself, thank gods for that.
