No, um, more like this. That should help. . . Um, unless it's too heavy for you! It's not too heavy, is it?

[though, it sounds like the second one doesn't really sound like he has much confidence in the subject. shouldn't a teacher know what they're doing?]

It's possible. There seemed to be some sort of stylized eyes in one of the images, which would lend weight to the opening being the Old Man's mouth.

But if he ate them, intending nothing more than to feed himself, you would think they'd fear more than just the Old Woman's wrath.

[Pauses a moment, thinking that over.]

Unless they found a way to offer him something else instead. Some other source of food.

	The Old Man doesn't consume them completely. Otherwise the ones who've come back wouldn't be here at all. They're not dead, Mitsuru. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
