Hello, everyone.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I arrived home at my temple tonight to find that a shinki of mine, Shouhei Akagi, has apparently gone home.

It looks like he's left some things behind here for his friends, so if you were close to him at all, please come by the temple and get them whenever you like. I know he would definitely want you to have them.

... Sorry. You alright?

[ He has a feeling that Tatara would prefer to speak about this more privately... That's the impression he got, anyways. ]

Aah, Sorey! Hello again!

Everything's fine; no need to fuss. Shouhei most definitely went home, from what I can see. He wasn't killed.

I'm more worried for San-chan. He and Shouhei were very close. I don't think he'll take the loss very well...

[ Still... he can imagine that saying good bye is hard. ]

San-chan... Your shinki?

I think he's pretty lucky to have you as his god.

private;

[heartshutter]

No, no -- San-chan was my shinki's best friend. They knew each other from the life before, and were very close there, too.

Eheh, if you say so! I wish we'd done more together, honestly. But leaving here means those we left behind get to have him back, right? So everything works out in the end!

private;

Wait -- did your shinki know?

That's true, huh? Even though we say good bye to those who go home, we can see our friends back there, too!

private;

[heartshutter]

Aah, it looks that way...

Or maybe he was planning to take care of a lot of things in the near future, tying up loose ends? He didn't say a thing to me, though! Or to anyone else, from what I can tell.

Do we get to know when we leave and go back home beforehand?

private;

[heartshutter]

A good question! I'm not sure, myself. I know that I definitely died before, and was brought here; but I've never left this place.

private;

[handle]

... You died? I'm really sorry.

[heartshutter]

[ Sorey, you're too sweet. Stahp. ]

It's fine, don't sweat it! If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

Plus, I had warning, last time. I knew that I was going to die, in that life. I didn't know when or how, but I knew it would be sooner rather than later. I wonder if this place has something like that. Or someone.

Well, if it happened before, it can happen again! So maybe Shouhei knew, somehow.

It sounds like you were able to be at peace with it back at home. I'm glad you had time for that.

And, it sounds liek you've been doing better, too!

private;

[heartshutter]

It did help. I wish the others would have had the same time, though.

Oh? I didn't think I was doing that bad...! But, I guess you did see me in a rough patch. Heh.

private;

[handle]

Sorry, that's not really what I meant. I guess I just get the feeling that you've been doing a little better then before.

private;

[heartshutter]

Sorry, sorry! I was only trying to have some fun with you.

But, thank you, by the way. I feel like I can credit you for feeling better, at least partly.

private;

I haven't really done anything yet, but if you're feeling better then I'm really glad.
