Death Mark II-I’m really getting Lost Judgment vibes here, and not just because protag was given a job to continue the investigation at the school. I’m thinking the Departed acts like The Professor and you call on them to have a hit put out by a ghost, essentially.

(also an aside I got the 'pay me for most likely stolen or AI fanwork of your story' spam comment on Ao3.  reported them of course, but hey, be aware if you're stalking me here too Ao3 sends copies of the comments to your email unless you turn the setting off so deleting the comments will not protect you or your account.  I would just ignore and delete if you sent me a message here, but I am not about to let you break Ao3 ToS; it's non-commercial for a good reason)

I wasn’t expecting the ending, but it’d threatened to get too sappy and Mashita decided to opt out at that point. (He also would rather die than ask out loud but he actually is paying attention and if Yashiki seemed uncomfortable he’d back off and let Kujou do the talking.)
I don’t think it was happening on the sites I was on, so...but I’ve put it in the calendar for next year so I don’t miss it next time. (It is kind of on-brand for me to import everything and get ready for International Fanworks Day...only to forget to look up what day it happens on. Whoops.)

my house walkthrough horror video - that is 900% a death mark ghost particularly with the WWII images and sutras.    question: is the paper supposed to seal the ghosts away?

        “I’ve dealt with three spirits so far and nothing’s happened, so why?” Yashiki rages, and Mashita’s actually struck dumb for once.  He’s never known Yashiki to get angry, and is almost convinced that this is the work of some spirit.  Not quite, though, and it’s almost a relief, because he’d been half convinced the man wasn’t human, with how little he’d reacted to the news of his oncoming death.
        “Well, Mary mentioned something about spirits playing with their victims, didn’t she?  It seems like this spirit has more control over the Mark than the others.”  Mashita toys briefly with the thought of offering to come help before dismissing it.  Whether it felt unnatural or not, Yashiki’s own cool head was the one thing that had kept them all alive so far.  “Serial killers do that too, and given the amount of victims they’ve probably taken so far, it’s probably not too far off to describe them that way.  At some point, they usually want to gloat.  It’s the most dangerous situation because they’re coming after you personally, but it’s an opportunity too.  You better take care of yourself.  I’m not consoling the brats if there’s a funeral.”
        The pause this time is longer, as Yashiki considers that, before he states warmly, with no thought as to how embarrassing his tone is, “I’d miss you too, Mashita.”
        He hangs up before the ex-detective can even yell at him.  Stupid sexy man.
