"The Maruki in my world works under Shido, though I get the distinct impression he is doing so reluctantly. I've considered since my arrival here if he's perhaps the one the false god chose, given that I had the fortune of finding a family and a home in Inaba."
Though his scowl fades, a sullen look remains, and he blows a hushed sigh. "Instead of mental shutdowns and psychotic breakdowns, it would seem that Maruki's abilities have been used to alter cognition on a rather wide scale. Before my arrival, I wasn't certain that he was the culprit, but Futaba-chan had her suspicions after tracing Yoshizawa-san's medical records. It is also worth noting that Yoshizawa-san was able to understand Morgana quite early on and did a terrible job hiding that fact."
