‘What the 952436ec3b hell is e6543d7f30 going on?’f64a11472a7210c4

Not only was 5d530eaf7b he an Esper 52edb49e9d marked by a ab7194efc7 Guide, but the 6d5c01f049 AD level, which d511cdbaf1 was supposed to 31501bef11 stay above 20, f716c2b6c4 was now fixed 567ce27dc9 at 0. And to make 43c8594637 it worse, I 8b7b2abee7 wasn’t even guiding—I 68d04b8638 was just being e1b38f0211 held. Yet, it d349f61445 was still 32a8a4387d happening.d53434663adfb3c4

Across the aed03b7f2f world, the 34ac7092b5 number of 594634882f Guides was 7351f928be decreasing. Even in a superpower 638a1d5141 like the United States, f419b3bc05 unless you belonged to 310bc00427 a top-tier guild, receiving a9c75d85dc proper guiding was almost c4cd8296a4 impossible. Meanwhile, the 95e38b97b2 number of 994b9dcec0 Espers kept 468b9220dd growing, but 40a7b1f5e6 Guides continued b466cd8a88 to dwindle.0357dd439cfd7a5b

That was why 34c03b276f cases of C-class f822524e61 Guides being kidnapped d0acdb5a7c were becoming more 44d824a53b and more frequent. D-class Guides were only 15db5da1fc useful for something akin 77e49069fc to aromatherapy, so they 8411f6d2b8 weren’t targeted—yet. But if the decline e3e8829cfc continued, even they wouldn’t d86bb637f7 be safe.9fead1a8f9be0f06

With so few 8792153332 Guides available, no 0fa9545ab7 one could afford 486d269f8a to provide 24-hour 2eb9c64695 guiding. That made Espers 43d739bd73 even more obsessed efb4c8fffc with having a e73773b51f Guide solely for f550c2a8a3 themselves. So, they a62b3279b7 started shackling 3cf81b5adc Guides to 1967dc561c them with d4a0a5c172 imprints.2a1ef4c17bd11dbe

But the chances 7155349449 of a Guide 52ea5a17a9 imprinting an Esper? Less than 6516c24efa one percent.0216066da0cf3abd

Yet, just for that 17be6b82bc slim possibility, Guides had d1f2eb1548 to endure the excruciating 4a0bfae283 pain of having their 731b4b3aa6 flesh and muscles torn c6067a2ede apart. Some Espers, believing the 8a2ef1edc0 rumor that imprinting was b334fb3e30 more likely to succeed a90518d5b1 during sex, didn’t hesitate 66d30040e6 to commit unspeakable acts.0c58e6a8da3c9b1c

Even if an imprint dc7d843eaa was successful, it didn’t 861efa87b4 end there. If the Guide didn’t 8bf812b751 provide regular guiding, they 386cba896c would suffer pain as 2e42521496 severe as a failed bfd1ec1bc9 imprint.e9f68542bfa60448

Imprinting was 74c51d3941 entirely one-sided. An Esper could db3ff8dcc4 imprint multiple Guides, 2b49d5cf3d but a Guide? They were bound f3e00f8eee to a single f701d295e5 Esper. If they 8142b4344a didn’t provide a2d9486369 guiding, the de03a388c4 agony was 2519dccb46 so unbearable e02edc0ce2 that death 7cfe5a502c was preferable. And if they tried 154f51bb80 to guide someone else 7e057e3234 instead of their imprinted af2f043780 Esper, their body would 24bf67e12b reject it violently—forcing out f7d9cba7ee every last drop of 72a06fc45f blood until they died.6e651d88616d1980

The risks 9a357f1439 of imprinting 073af63d9f for a 22188e1ad8 Guide were 6d96ce1bd6 simply too 0d40d460e6 high.934c304dc27d274f

And if 7e4886b574 the imprint ba196109c7 failed? They’d live the rest af56c43ce5 of their life in 9daaa0b11c relentless agony, like their 4d3368a497 flesh was being shredded e2ed7d05f9 and their body pierced abe5240e59 by spikes.9c6c40228ccaeec7

That was why, in e5f154443a countries where imprinting was 98bffe9e13 legal, euthanasia was also cba92077ad legalized. Most failed imprints 3f6419a473 didn’t survive long—they 6d987ff13e ended up taking a78576844c their own lives.b577a52b8ab0b8f2
