On another post a few comments, mine included, had a little chat about what Mashita's thought proccess could have been, during the Confession in the second game.

So I decided to write a little One Shot about it!

This includes Spoilers for Case 7 in Death Mark 2, as well as the DLC of Death Mark 1.

THIS? 

"I'm not gonna be surprised by anything that comes out of his damn mouth." 

Well. 

Fuck. 

He was really eating those words now, huh. 

He could only stare with eyes ripped open as Yashiki explained, his words as trembling as his hands, his eyes avoiding everyone else. 

In fear of judgement? 

Probably. 

Shame? 

Definitely. 

This was wrong. 

This was wrong on every level. 

He was never one to stick to rules but this? 

MURDER??? 

Mashita couldn't even speak at first as Yashiki just continued explaining. No, there had to be something else, every second now he would mention that they did find that girl again alive, there had to be more, there had to be. 

This was wrong. 

But there wasn't. 

There wasn't and he looked as guilty as ever. Having just confessed. 

To murder. 

"You must be kidding me." 

Words uttered in pure disbelief. 

This wasn’t happening. 

There is no way. 

"To think you'd kill someone..." 

Actually, he didn't want to think about that. Not a single bit.  

Yes, everyone had the potential to murder, he knew that better than most, but this was Yashiki. Compassionate to a stupid, suicidal degree Yashiki. 

"Don't blame him for that! He was controlled by the Departed!" 

Oh great, the brat was talking. Mashita glared at her out of reflex alone. 

Why the fuck was she so defensive anyways? Nobody would react like that after their best friend just got killed, what kind of weirdo was this girl??

"Insanity or not, murder is still murder", he snapped back, before his eyes stared back at Yashiki. 

He felt more like he was the one going insane, his mind completely elsewhere as old training just kicked in. 

It was the only thing that made sense right now. 

"Article 199, a person who kills another person is punished by the death penalty or life imprisonment or for a definite term of no less than five years." 

He felt sick of even thinking of this as an option. He rattled down those words out of pure habit, as he had many times before, in the Academy back in the day and his job later. 

"I'd slap the cuffs on you myself if I had them with me." 

He should, but he wouldn't. Why was he saying that, he wouldn't, because Yashiki would never kill anyone. 

God fucking damnit. 

His heart was racing as fast as his mind, his entire body tense, ready to spring at the threat and yet violently rejecting the very notion that there was a threat to begin with. 

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong, fuck! 

But Yashiki? 

Everyone else, maybe. 

He'd believe Shou, not planned but in affect, too impulsive. Ai too, stronger than she looked, against a stalking fan maybe. Daimon? Doctor, there was always a chance of malpractice. Yasuoka? That old hag definitely had a skeleton in her closet somewhere, if only because she dug it up once because the bones had some weird powers. 

The man who watched the only friends he had get attacked? 

The man who watched his friends get controlled to attack him? 

The man who watched half his friends get cursed into a coma and nearly die. 

The man who was nearly killed himself by the same goddamn spirit.  

The same man who after ALL THAT, still trembling in shock and trauma, barely aware of his own body, STILL refused to think about himself, just for fucking ONCE. 

The same man who looked at a dead spider, the remains of that goddamn spirit and still decided to show compassion to it before ANYTHING else-! 

...

Oh. 

Of course. 

And his body instantly relaxed, as did his mind.  

It didn't make any sense, possession or not. He would never do it. So he didn't. 

"...Let me just say one thing." 

It wasn't like him to get distracted. He had nearly forgotten what case they were even working on. 

"The law only applies if the victim is human." 

#omg?? OMG??? the CHARACTERIZATION HERE!!! is sooooooo fucking good man #he WOULD fucking say this #and this is pretty much exactly what I was picturing when I imagined that in the first place!!! #it’s like you have a direct line into my brain. #works that deserve appreciation. you could totally post this on ao3!!! #death mark 2 #death mark #shibito magire #satoru mashita #mashita satoru #yashiki kazuo #kazuo yashiki #yashita #fanfiction

Pros of hyperfixiation:

Happy!

Art ideas

Life is good

Cons of hyperfixiation:

I am going to blow up

All my art is of the same guy

If I don't think about this 24/7 I get violent

#several months ago I was super hyperfixated on Lego monkie kid #like to a truly unsurpassed degree. I’ve never been so hyperfixated on something that I drew characters every day for over a week #but this show got me. I was drawing gay monkeys every day for over a week. #and ever since starting Genshin I’ve been drawing the 4ggravate boys in my class notes. I’ve done them all digitally except Tighnari #but Cyno? Kaveh? Alhaitham? I’ve drawn them digitally so much that I’ve mastered the art of simplifying them #bc drawing Genshin characters makes you wanna die

Have you done the extra chapter? It features *I get a bag shoved over my head and dragged off into the distance, muffled shouting all the way*

I haven’t yet 😔 I finished chapter 7 at like 4AM and after that I procrastinated on finishing the extra chapter… but I REALLY need to 😭

#AYO? AYO?? THIS IS SICK #I’m so hyped to see how this turns out #artists on tumblr #digital art

[its-malarkey]

A Yashiki, for your troubles (I drew this like a week and a half ago so no, he does not count as birthday art. I’ll do actual birthday art later)

#this old man and his stupid anime hair were stupidly hard to figure out #now I just have to learn to do it consistently #and Mashita oh lordy #death mark 2 #death mark #yashiki kazuo #kazuo yashiki #firealpaca #firealpaca art #digital artist #digital artwork #digitalart #digital drawing #digital art #self taught artist

Today is Yashiki's birthday from one of my favorite visual novel horror games Death Mark. I don't have any new art but I want to take the opportunity to share the old drawings I have from this game.

It's not much! But I like them all. Some of them are commissions too.

#holy shit holy shit holy shit #I saw this while sitting in my car and immediately said #‘I’m obsessed with the way they draw them holy shit’ (out loud) #YASHIKI? MASHITA???? my god. I need to draw these two more often. GAH #I’m literally sitting in front of my sister’s dog staring at this #I will be thinking about these all day and there’s no exaggeration #death mark #kazuo yashiki #satoru mashita #death mark 2 #yashiki kazuo #mashita satoru

[its-malarkey]

Working on trying to simplify Genshin characters enough to keep their details while still not taking hours to draw. Kaveh is definitely a success

#RIGHT???? #he has no grounds calling anybody else weird after the ‘it doesn’t count if it’s a spirit’ conversation #and showing up with A SECOND GUN THIS TIME?? #what was THAT #my head is full of him being so absolutely batshit insane to protect yashiki/make him feel better #death mark #kazuo yashiki #satoru mashita #mashita satoru #yashiki kazuo #yashita #death mark 2 #death mark 2 spoilers #death mark spoilers

Just a reminder that Yashiki’s birthday is March 3rd for those who celebrate :))

I would actually die for this absolute creep. this rude and unfortunate disaster of a detective. please play death mark

#HELLO??? THIS IS SO GOOD???? #I would also die for this dumpster fire of a man. god I love him. he’s so goofy #death mark #satoru mashita #mashita satoru #spirit hunter #death mark 2

I need silly shadowpeach i need it now i need them competing to out-fluster the other and everyone else finds it funny and entertaining until their powers start misfiring because of how flustered they are and its starts effecting the general surroundings (Wukong accidentally creating a giant crack in the floor, Macaque's shadows shattering a light, etc)

#the best part is that the loser always goes home mad but… also a little turned on against his Will #and macaque is a specialist at annoying people but Wukong’s advantage is that when it comes to macaque’s fuse he just bypasses it entirely #macaque might be a master at people in general but Wukong’s a master at macaque #so they’re pretty much on equal ground when it comes to ANY flustering. both of them deserve to be put in their place #if the other doesn’t leave having a gay crisis then the winner has failed #both of them are also little freaks who find arguing hot #it’s me im the little freak 😔 bantering argument is so good (as long as it’s an actual argument #they’re just being stupid and nitpicky and I find this bickering to be commonplace in most of my favorite ships #monkie kid #lego monkie kid #shadowpeach #lmk #lmk macaque #lmk sun wukong #lego macaque #lego wukong #lego sun wukong #lmk shadowpeach #txt post

[its-malarkey]

Everyone else: completely fine

Daimon who already practically has one foot in the grave: coughing his guts up

Yeaaaaaa I mean c’mon he was already there anyway. Might as well put him in a coma. He’s already dying anyway
