Hi! I have a question and I wonder if you could help me: regarding Naru's psychometry, is it restricted to objects only, or does it work when touching other people/living beings? I only read the manga and I can't really remember if there's any explanation related to this, and lately i've read some fanfics and got confused about what is canon information and fanon interpretation/headcanon. Thank you!

Hello there! These asks are sort of related. Enough that I want to answer them together. So, as far as I know, it’s never mentioned in the novels or short stories whether Naru’s psychometry works on living targets. Whenever his psychometry is discussed, it just sort of talks about objects. It mentions that he either merely sees information or he synchs with a target, i.e., the person related to the object. The stronger the emotion, the deeper the connection, and the harder it is to resist the vision. Naru mentions he was borrowing some clothes from Gene when he had a vision of his death.

To this, Mai asks, “Suddenly? You didn’t do something trying to synch with him deliberately?”

To which Naru replies, “That kind of intention isn’t always necessary. Rejecting it requires will, however.”

So if Naru’s psychometry works on living targets, then he might not always be able to control seeing visions from being touched by another person. This is a very popular fanon explanation for why Naru doesn’t like to be touched. However, I haven’t noticed Naru being averse to all touch unless it’s of an intimate nature. Even then, it’s only if you’re not in his inner circle. In the short story Eugene, Gene mentions that Naru just doesn’t know how to deal with it:

Noll wasn’t comfortable with physical contact. It was strange how uncomfortable he was with it. He could extremely coldly reject people he could ignore, but it really put him on the spot when it came to people he couldn’t ignore. That’s why they were so physical with Noll. It was one of the things Gene and Madoka did to tease him. And maybe even his parents were doing the same.—Eugene, translation by kagedreams

Gene doesn’t mention anything about the psychometry. But I feel like Naru’s family and friends would respect his personal space if he did have to deal with something like that. Even Lin, who is very concerned about the burden of Naru’s psychometry, touches Naru’s shoulder or head occasionally, which doesn’t bother Naru at all. 

And if we actually look up the term psychometry, it’s defined as, “the supposed ability to discover facts about an event or person by touching inanimate objects associated with them.” It’s based on the assertion that inanimate objects have energy fields that transfer knowledge. 

If that’s the case, then why doesn’t Naru like being touched? To quote Masako, “It seems that’s just Naru’s personality.” I would also attribute a lot of it to his childhood (which you can read about in the short story His Reality). While Naru and Gene weren’t physically abused (thanks to their father being “disgusted” by their abilities and never being home), they were most definitely emotionally abused/ neglected. Naru claims this didn’t leave any mental scars, but it probably had some effect. The neglect they faced probably left him confused about how to react to displays of affection. The fact that Gene had the opposite reaction and loves physical contact is probably just personality. 

tl;dr 

No, there isn’t any canon to support that Naru’s psychometry works on living targets (that I know of), and the literature on psychometry doesn’t seem to support this either. 

And it’s probably not so much that Naru doesn’t like being touched, more that he has no idea what to do about it so it makes him uncomfortable. It confuses him. So much so that he completely froze for a full minute when Masako took his arm. But he definitely doesn’t restrict himself from touching other people.

Wow, haven’t been on Tumblr for over 2 years now xD~ I’ve no idea if people are still following me here; migrated to other social medias by now like me xD;;.  I didn’t really just want to leave it like this though.

I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 fibrosis sarcoma cancer, and the doc thinks I got about 1-1.5 years left. I guess I’m really here to kinda….leave my mark? These are just some of my work from the past few years I haven’t been uploading here :3

I’m more active on Twitter, Instagram and Patreon. Every bit of support helps <3. I’m not sure if I’m ever posting back here, but thank you guys so much for reading.

Perfection is,

Kougami Shinya ❤️✨

CHAPTER 148 ENG PART 1

This was supposed to be a quick sketch before bed but then my brain was like: “Don’t be shy, put some more!” …and now I am even more sleep deprived than usual.

It makes me really sad that the quality of the gif is so bad but oh well, there’s nothing I can do about it

I’m making a Ghost Hunt personality quiz and wow, Masako is a sad, sad person. It makes me feel awful that everyone seems to hate her. And for what? They think she blackmailed Naru? Maybe Naru felt like he had to be nice to her so she’d keep his secret, but I don’t think she saw it that way. She never would have revealed his secret. She was just a lonely teenage girl who was isolated because of her powers (which are waning) and she thought maybe, just maybe Naru understood from a similar situation and actually liked her for more than her fame. I actually think Naru took advantage of her. He’s used to playing nice to get what he wants, and that seems to be what he did here. But I’m not blaming Naru; he needed his identity kept secret because his very life might have depended on it. I just think Masako deserves a little more love. And don’t even try to tell me she doesn’t because of her bad personality. We all know who has the worst personality and we all still love him.
