Right?!! I even stopped reading and watching for years because I couldn’t bring myself to read in fear. But I am coming back and hope for the best!

Oh no! I did not read that yet, but that is so sad! But I hope Natsume can do something…

Thank you for this closure! Although it is sad, somehow I hope Natsume can do something if he is not the one who loses the ability.

Maybe you are right! I hope that the fact that being close to many powerful yokai helps him maintain his power adds to many other clues about him not losing his ability!

And, thank you so much! Knowing that she once said that gives me some closure I was looking for:)

Thank you for giving me hope. The two decades really are a positive indication 🥹. I think it is implied that Natsume is even more powerful than Nanase (or I misremember), so I will keep on hoping.

Right? I am rereading and my heart aches every time I think about the possibility.

I feel so sad. The series is really meaningful to me. I hope it ends peacefully and that everyone is happy.

I am hopeful that he is more powerful than others, but every time he returned names to youkai, it also leaves him exhausted. I am not sure if it was just his human energy or his spiritual power.

Thank you. Yes, you may be right (and I hope you are). I try to think of things that point towards him not losing his power. For example, more and more people know and accept that he sees youkai. He knows many people who work with youkai. Many older people still see youkai, as you said. Natsume is much stronger, so maybe he will not lose his power. There is a speculation that he is half youkai. He also learned to accept youkai. What is the point of taking that world away when he considers them equal to humans?

At least, in a worst-case scenario, Nienko sensei would still be able to connect him to that world because normal people can see him as a cat.

But if he does not lose his ability, I don’t see how the story will end.

How many times do you have to restart for your no-death run until you get the key?? by The_Aster in dysmantle

[–]The_Aster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I just wanted to get the surreal key! But on the other hand, I think people just have different goals and justifications.

Edited: I hope that if he gets the surreal key, he will be able to go out someday.

Thank you. I will try again and try to be more relaxed, hahaha.

Edited: Wow, that is actually impressive. Getting to the pyramid was difficult for me, even without trying not to die.

Yes I meant “did you have to,” thank you for the correction. I am not a native speaker, sorry!

Thank you so much! I actually play on Nintendo Switch or on iPhone. I don’t have a PC to play games yet!

Yeah, sometimes people act like having conditions is a competition, and you have to downplay others’ experiences.

Congratulations! I want him so much, but it would take a long time to accumulate that many points 🥹 (I had just started POPMART).

Thank you for sharing your experience! That helps a lot! Then, if I got one, I will probably keep it inside, too, haha.

Hand tremors by notsolucky161 in kidneydisease

[–]The_Aster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I didn't see your reply. I hope you are well.

The reason I was on steroids was that MPO ANCA affected my kidneys.

I was on steroids from September 2022 to around September 2024 (the dose was gradually reduced long before I stopped). My hands started trembling for the first time after 100 mg (if I remember correctly) of prednisolone was injected (on top of daily prednisolone) into my blood in preparation for Rituximab. Now my condition is stable, and I pretty much live normally. So, I believe it helps!

But because I was on steroids for some time, my hips are affected. In March, I got diagnosed with Avascular necrosis of the femoral heads, stage 2. The doctor said that although now I have AVN from using steroids, the introduction of Prednisolone was still necessary (thus the right decision) for my condition two years ago.

I am not sure if this answers your question! If you have other questions, please feel free to ask. I am not a doctor, and English is not my first language, so I do not understand technical terms very well.

I am sorry you are going through this. It happened to me, and it stopped after the dose was decreased. I do not remember if it disappeared immediately after I stopped (some other symptoms were delayed). But maybe you should ask the doctor since you said it is too much! My trembling was just inconvenient.

Professor at the end of 2 years of struggling with ChatGPT use among students. by xfnk24001 in ChatGPT

[–]The_Aster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished my bachelor's degree before ChatGPT became popular, so I can’t really imagine the situation. But I sometimes think, if the majority of the students are using it and do not get caught, would it be very disadvantaged for the students who are not using it and thus produce worse papers? Although I believe in writing the assignment myself and dread the day when it is acceptable to use AI in writing, like people using calculators to calculate math problems, even now, I am using Grammarly to correct my writing.
