*Cut for Wendigo*

 He nods “Where most of the strange activity comes together.” He says, beginning to walk over.

 As he talks, he feels any sort of negative emotion begin to drain from his body, leaving him with only positive feelings.

 He sighs “Whatever you are doing, please do not, I would rather be able to feel fear, sadness, and pain than not.” He says “It is something I learn from.”

 "I am sorry.. I feed off of these emotions. You will still be able to feel but it is just for the moment that I am able to let you be happy...

 “I’d rather not be forced to feel happy, but if you must eat than let me be your feast.” He notices much more negative emotions within him than the average.

 Michael's eyes turn a deep blue, smoke pouring them on to the ground. He takes Grove's wrist, licking it and then biting into it. It doesn't hurt and there is no mark, but he feels a slight pressure.

 "Come on. We'll go to my shop. I have some ice cream there. You can tell me where you last saw your master on the way, okay?"

 She nods, ready to follow him, a bit more relaxed now.

 He leads her in the direction he came. She can feel the waves of invisible giant monsters and evil spirits being broken by his presence. He holds the tip of her wing to comfort her. "It's all going to be okay."

 *They're Large creatures, so they probably fill up Ichigo's arms.*

"And it would be best to keep worrying. A soul is a delicate thing. They need love to thrive. I'm afraid I might have created too many spiders to love all at once. Do you think you could help me love them? Show them that they are needed?"

 *Ichigo: IMMA TRY! :D*

It nods, petting one with its hand. "Beautiful.. creatures.. need to be loved.."

 "Thank you, Ichigo. I've been a worthless father to so many toys. But I'll get better, and I will fight every second to be better. If we love the Spiders enough, they'll develop decision making skills. They can use thoughts of love instead of hate. But for now, they will remain unfortunate monsters." He stifles a sob. "We'll make them better. Purer beings. All of them. The spiders, the puppets, the mortals, the Nightmare Lords... I'm going to make the world a better place."

 "You are.. not worthless... in any capacity.." he remarks, tilting his head to look up "and they.. are not monsters.." he says "They are.. like any creature.. they need to be taught..."

 "Heh. You didn't see Eden. God looked away for a moment, and I couldn't help... couldn't help..." Tears run down his face. "I'm so old, Ichigo. I've had so much time to improve, but I've done the same things over and over. Every generation gets better, and then the next one is worse... I try to keep them entertained. Distracted. But I keep making things worse. All the natural wonders I've made, all the stars in the heavens... and they fight over them. We must teach them better."

 She feels at peace, trotting along side him

 They find themselves in an abandoned hospital being renovated by the same invisible creatures, made into a bazaar of sorts. He walks over to a soft-serve machine and gets her some caramel apple ice cream in an edible waffle bowl. "Now then, tell me about your master. Where did you last see him?"

 Ichigo turns suddenly, running over with unnatural speed, he surges forward and hugs them. His hug is.. warm, the armor wame to the touch and all encompassing. He holds them tightly, his masked face buried in their neck. He can feel breathing despite having nody and no lungs to do so.
