Valdis again. “She has a problem with you being an oni?” Have they talked about this before? Klaus can’t remember having this discussion. Then again, lots of things have happened.

There’s a sigh. “People make mistakes. It’s just that Valdis tends to deal with a lot of mistakes from a lot of people. And she’s an empath on top of everything, so she can feel everything, too.” Which should mean she felt the sincerity of the apology as long as it was there.

“She can move past a lot of bullshit. She’s done it for Nobunaga. I can talk to her if you want me to? Or try to casually see if there’s anything I can do to help with it.”
