[Wow, that’s a powerful ability. But with such a cost… it reminds him of the Heavenly Restrictions some jujutsu sorcerers are born with, where they sacrifice something in exchange for increased power.]
Wow. That must really suck. It hasn’t happened a lot, has it?
[That would really suck if it happened a lot, and if her life was cut down significantly. How much is her life even shortened? He can’t help but think what a grim power she had.]
Yeah. Mine is something called Cursed Speech. Whenever I talk, I have the power to force someone to listen to what I say and do what I tell them to. It doesn’t matter what it is, if I say it, they have to do it.
[From simple orders like “come here”, “don’t move”, or “sit down”, to more forceful ones like “sleep”, “run away”, “get crushed”, or “explode”. If it can be interpreted as an order, his Cursed Speech amplified the compulsion of his words to the point where the listener was forced to obey whether they wanted to or not.]
I used to accidentally use it on people when I was younger, before I knew how it worked. And the power can sometimes rebound on me and damage my throat. Now, I learned to talk using code words in order to have a conversation with someone.
[Which was why he spoke in harmless riceball ingredients instead of words, to protect others and himself. It could be frustrating, but it was safer than accidentally cursing someone and ending up coughing up blood.]
