Sure enough, it was another person--but it seemed it was another old woman, not what Mob had expected. Quietly he stared at it, then adjusted his half-grip on the flashlight, combining the new scraps with the old and pressing it between his palms. He shut his eyes and concentrated, felt energy flowing through his arms, and into the space between his palms. Warmth and light emanated from them--and then, all at once, the objects hurtling through the air dropped like flies to the ground.
The deluge of dust that came up was horrendous, but after the fit of coughing subsided, Mob opened his hands and was surprised to find the photograph had disappeared. "Where..." Mob's voice cut off as Reigen tapped his shoulder and pointed to the doorway.
In it stood a pair of elderly women, their faces obscured by shadow and age, but a faint smile visible on the both of them. Mob stared for a long moment, then drew closer, feeling his breath catch as one of the old women reached out a hand. Reigen drew his shoulders up, and barked out instinctively, "What do you want with him, spirits? He's not for you. If you're gonna hurt my student, I'll have to exorcize the both of you."
"Master," Mob murmured, almost exasperated, and Reigen deflated slightly under the look Mob gave him. The young boy stepped away from Reigen and towards the old women, instead.
But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair
