There are only so many more chances to live a happier life in Tokyo. But if you mean here, then...
I suppose that in some strange way, it is.
[ Good, or better, or — happier? His own realization that it makes him sound like a lunatic pulses light in the shadow of the Murmur. Yes, yes, he knows. ]

What do you mean? [ Subaru's tone gentles, even if urgency surges in its undertow. ] You're not safe here either.
[ Carefully, his gaze dips to the space beside him. Empty but charged. He's feeling the weight of a presence even if it's only defined by Soleum's focus on it. Though he doesn't have his onmyoudo, his keen senses are buzzing, static bright like a livewire. His expression creases as he tries to focus on it. The cat is more corporeal even if made of the same shadow-stuff, apparitions given shape by — guiding others out? It must be. That's where these faces that he wears intersect, every time.
Knelt at his side, the puddle continues to grow. It's not so dissimilar from Megumi's shadows... but even a sorcerer of his caliber struggled to keep them in a cohesive form. Can he do it? Or will he have to follow the order of this place? ]
Your magic is going to come apart like this. Someone is... speaking to you, right? What is it saying?
[ He'd felt it prickle on the back of his neck like he was being hunted too. Delving into the void only made it worsen. ]

...Subaru-kun. You're mistaken. Your life is in Tokyo.
You are going back — to Tokyo.
You are going back — to Tokyo.
I'm starting to pick up on that. [ He's a strange man. ] Last week. We were messing with one of the creatures from the void, trying to determine what they're drawn to and if we can mimic it. I didn't want to kill it, so I gave my knife to him so he could.
[ Okay, so maybe she didn't want her energy snacked upon and pawned the duty off on Seishirou! Same thing! ]

[ this place will eat him alive too, agent grapes knows this, and it's why he expects the cat by him to lead subaru out. he leans forward, one hand— stump of the wrist?— no that's just the edge of the jacket he wears dripping something black onto the ground.
it trickles onto the black cat like rain, rejected too as it slides along the surface and onto the ground around the feline. aware of this, that one red eye watching his body break down like so before him, he understands how grave the situation is at hand.
subaru.
he can not be here. ]
I don't have magic. [ he doesn't want it. if this place could tear it out from him, remove the pieces of himself that doesn't make up kim soleum. then he'd welcome it. the thought is so tempting when said by someone else when they view him like this. ]
But... you do.
[ that hand comes back to his lap, agent grapes tilts his head down, and he listens.
— What a nosey fellow! This is an a and b conversation, wouldn't you say, friend?
— What to do, what to do. You really shouldn't tell him, it's been some time since we could speak, friend.
— I can help you, friend! Stay a little longer, this Host has so much advice to help you out of this predicament. Now— ]
To break it down from the inside, you have to understand what you're against.
[ — That's fine and dandy, friend! this gracious host thinks you should tell him ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓. ]
Something followed you here.
