When I was a child, I went through a Digimon phase. One night me my brother were outside jumping on a trampoline or something and we saw some little floating lights swirling around us. There seemed to be more and more of them and I got terrified cause I thought I was getting sent to the Digimon realm or something, so he and I ran away screaming. So that was my first experience with fireflies.
Yeah if magic was somehow real you can’t tell me that the CIA wouldn’t be doing shit like in full metal alchemist where the shadow government attempts to do a blood sacrifice that consumes the souls of everyone in the entire country.
