[ Hanako gives Nico a little smile, as if he hadn't already given that some thought, that if they met again, whether they could friends the second time around. But it's impossible. ]
You know the "Hanako-san" legend? Well, she had a wish she wanted granted, and so she summoned me.
The only people able to do so, however, are ones already close to death.
[ he does not say he's never heard of this particular legend, but he nods along like he has to show he's listening. ]
And the wish was to live longer. Like most of the other people who make wishes to you, I bet. [ why else would people try to summon this particular ghost? ] ...do you know why that is?
Things happened! The point is, she was always going to die within the year: that's how she summoned me in the first place, and that's what I did all that to prevent!
[ So if it works, she'll have a long life!! and never be able to summon him again!!!! aaaaaaaa ]
[ oh my gods he is starting to get a much clearer picture here. ]
And so because of that even if she remembers the legend, because you severed the tie she can't even try to summon you again with a different wish. [ he's just dragging a hand over his face to think. ] Has anyone managed to do this before...? Trading a soul for a soul.
Other than you, I don't think so. It goes against the laws of the world, after all: a person's lifespan is set the day they are born. That cannot [ should not ] be changed.
[ not the correct soul, but hey. he raises an eyebrow though. ]
I can name at least two people who would completely disprove that point, actually. I'm familiar with fate and how it applies here, but there are always factors that can disrupt it, even a little.
[ That's even better, if two people were able to change fate like that. Hanako's own profile mentions that too, but it also contains other things he's trying hard not to think about. ]

I'll do my best with what I can. I can at least promise you that much. [ gods. how did we get here. ]
