[Yuuki had been doing so well.

When she wakes up on the morning of the thirteenth, there's something different. Hajime will feel it as a sense of confusion and unease, though it has yet to progress to outright stinging. It's... strange. She remembers lush greens and a blue sky that seems to stretch forever, circling around a giant tree from which the world itself seems to spring. She remembers laughter, turning to the culprit and laughing herself in sheer bliss as she takes in the world. Between the six of them, they practically have a rainbow of wings... Siune, Jun, Tecchi, Talken, Nori. She knows their names, their races, the fact that they were her comrades. But...

That's it. Just a brief glimpse into what must have been her past. A beautiful world full of friendly faces that she can't quite reach out to grasp... One that she shouldn't.

And yet...]

Shinki definitely never ever remember things... Right?

[There's no easy way to put it. But she has to know--

Is it... Really okay for her to be regaining her memories...?]

But we still have to be careful because if we mess up we'll sting our gods too

[That's the part she worries about the most, really.]

[subtract]

Well, a little stinging can't be that bad. It's a minor risk as long as we don't go too far.

[The same can't be said for Add.]

[sleepingknight]

Stinging definitely means you’re doing something wrong though!!

We’re supposed to be guides for our gods so we have to be careful

[Try to be a more responsible shinki, Add!]

[subtract]

Exactly, so it would be serving its purpose in telling us how that action affects us and our gods. How else would we know for sure if we don't test it?

A guide with personal experience is more useful than a guide going off guesswork or whatever they've been told by others.

[sleepingknight]

Stinging gods at all means you're doing something bad!

A good guide wouldn't keep testing the limits just to see what they can get away with!

[subtract]

Why not? Of course, if you're repeating the same mistakes that would be foolish, but it's important to know what is and isn't acceptably toeing the line. What if someday you need to commit a crime for a greater good? I'm just planning ahead for that type of scenario.

[sleepingknight]

The ends don’t justify the means

It would still be bad!

[It’s simple as that, in her eyes.]

[subtract]

I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree, then.
