I just read Out of Aeons, and it has not made me so much <i>frightened</i> as <i>righteously pissed off</i>.
Museum people, scientists, everyone who seriously looked into this thing except the cultists, FAIL.You guys are assholes.
That is the worst thing you could ever do to someone. I mean, you sit there in your own head for millennia, unable to do anything, perhaps even unable to see and hear, and all you want is for it to be over. Then you almost, almost get out of there — AND THEN YOU DIE. I mean, the main character knew, knew what had happened to the poor guy, and didn't do anything. I'M EXILING YOU ALL FROM HUMANITY NOW, KTHXBAI.

Also, a little Utena vignette. Spoilers for when Nanami finds out something and then Touga tells Akio something. If you haven't watched that far (watched, not read), really don't click. And if you clicked on the above cut and want to make a comment or something, page down and don't look. The spoilers may only be for the Nanami arc, but they're very important ones.
Nanami knows.
She knows Touga lied to her about who she is, who they both are. 'The Kiryuu siblings . . .' What a joke. She laughs, the long loud "Ohohohoho!" laugh of her school days, and holds her hairbrush to her chest like a prize.
It doesn't matter, though, she thinks. She has not seen her . . . brother (it still feels strange calling him that, after what he'd said all those years ago) in three years, and she is not likely to do so soon.
Nanami returns to brushing her hair. It is heavy with years of memories; she hasn't cut it since she stepped out of the Ohtori gates.
It doesn't matter at all. Not that they are adopted, not that he lied to her, not that Akio knew when she didn't.
Not at all.
Nanami tosses her hair back over her shoulders with both hands and smiles at the mirror. Tsuwabuki is arriving today; she looks forward to seeing how he has changed.
And perhaps how she has, as well.
