See them?

[The image comes into focus, revealing a pair of teens holding hands as they walk side by side down a quiet neighborhood street. They both appear happy. Laughing. You might even say they're in love. At the start of a new school year, it seems the perfect time for this sort of thing.]

... He prayed for her to love him.

[The young couple fade in and out of focus as he speaks, blurred and fuzzy around the edges. Behind the camera there's a scoff.]

I didn't know if I wanted to, but I gave it to him anyway. And now she'll love him until I tell her to stop.

[Finally they disappear around a corner... just as another boy appears into frame. He pauses, but the couple doesn't notice. He stares over his shoulder, but the couple doesn't notice. ... He has his eyes on the young girl. But she doesn't notice.]

That's who she used to love. ... He doesn't know why she left. Probably never will, even if he still loves her.

[After a minute of watching the two's backs, the boy finally turns around to continue trudging down the street alone, his head hung and eyes focused towards his shoes. Rin waits for him to also disappear out of frame before continuing.]

Tell me-- [a deep breath] --am I dangerous?

[... All these emojis. It feels like he's talking to his sister.]

I guess I need to figure out how to use my abilities that way first. All I know is how to manipulate on the spot. It's the easy way, but it always causes the most harm. ... I don't think that's the way gods are supposed to be, right?

I did this because I was afraid to fail someone. I just ended up being selfish.

... You're a god, aren't you? What does being one mean to you?

oh, i know what that's like. (｡• ̀д•́) 人 (•̀ω•́ )ﾊﾞ i don't think there's anything wrong with that, but you don't need to use a power to do that either. it's definitely easier to reach right for it though, i get that.

yep! my main responsibilities are love and war so ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌ [Tricky stuff all around.]

for me it means...looking out for the people who want my help. fighting ayakashi. knowing who really needs help and who just needed to bolster their own self-esteem. inspiring people to do their best. sometimes manipulating people into doing their best. and helping with problems that really need it, of course, and sometimes things that don't, but it's usually just in little ways. i want everyone to feel like they accomplished what they wanted on their own. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و✧ so, it means being a friend, or a coach, like i said~
