[Ren is definitely one of the people Kotori had in mind when talking about "people she should have told personally", and she winces faintly when she sees the name attached to this reply before bowing her head.]

I'm sorry, Ren-sama, I should've told you when you came. Thankfully, I think if it was one of those who'd taken the people who've disappeared, at least someone would have reported their connection to a god or shinki breaking...

[She still doesn't like the idea of "trees that eat people" anywhere near where Shun and a bunch of others have gone missing, though.]
