Difficult? Well. It... can be. Pretty often. Sometimes the visions are nice but when they're bad, people just. They just take it personally.
[ And there's nothing Bruno can do to stop that. Bad news often garners bad reactions, after all. What people have asked in the past, though, now that could entail a lot of different answers. What's the most useful, he wonders? ]
Not romance. [ That is the quickest, most immediate response, like wow. ] I. I don't do those kinds of requests anymore, they're, y'know. Messy. Dramatic. Which is... look, I only like drama when I'm writing it, not for real?
[ BUT THAT ASIDE. ]
Easiest ones are weather predictions, I guess? But we... we had someone who, um. Made the weather. So kind of useless? [ It might be better to say he could predict his sister's moods ahead of time but that required more explanation than Ciel probably wanted. ] I've looked forward to crop yields, warned people they were going to lose livestock, there's. There's always someone who wants to know when they'll... die...
[ He didn't like those. ]
Although those ones tend to be random. [ Out of the blue, realizing someone was about to pass and having to tell their family. ] And... and when something terrible happens, trying to divine the reason why, what it, well, what it might lead to, but most of this isn't helpful, huh?
