[If the original intent wasn't for Carpet to develop to this extent of personality and self-awareness, that's...more excusable, at least. Still careless, but at least not as gross an act of negligence or cruelty.

There was a time when Kurama wouldn't have cared but those days were past.

The easy acceptance of Carpet's reaction to his ability is...kind of soothing. It's not a reaction he expects to be common, honestly, but it's nice to be not only believed but met with interest instead of anger at the intrusion.]

No, not a genie. It's a little bit complicated, though, since I'm actually several things that don't usually overlap. The mind-reading ability is something I received when I became...a minor death god, basically?
