I understand a shinki is a weapon for their god. Are there other responsibilities included with that title?

How can I be more useful to my god?

["How else can I protect him?" is really what she means.]

I don't make a good moral compass, but if it's necessary than alright.

[blindfoldcode]

Yeah, I'm not great either. But it's part of our job.

[timeshields]

How do they decide that?

[blindfoldcode]

That it's part of our job? I don't know, I just got told that when I got here.

[timeshields]

It's a strange thing for a weapon to be in charge of.

[blindfoldcode]

Well, if we do something we feel is wrong, we'll blight our gods. So we have to make sure they do the right thing.

[timeshields]

If he asks me to do something that's enough reason to do it, isn't it? Why should I feel guilty for doing as he asks?

[blindfoldcode]

Wouldn't you feel bad if he asked you to kill someone?

[timeshields]

[There's a pause, she remembers her encounter with the fake Souji- the way he died. The fact she was at fault for it-

There's still no guilt over her actions.]

Why would I feel bad?

[blindfoldcode]

Because you killed someone...?

[timeshields]

If it was necessary then there's no reason to feel guilt.

[blindfoldcode]

What if it was a friend or something?

[timeshields]

I don't have friends.

[blindfoldcode]

Don't let anyone here hear you say that. They're going to try to be your friend.

[timeshields]

That sounds like it comes from experience.

[blindfoldcode]

I was fine just staying in the temple. Now I can't even be alone when I want to be.

[timeshields]

Do you want to be alone often?

[blindfoldcode]

Lately, yeah. I don't mind being around the boss normally, but... things happened.

[timeshields]

I don't think I'd want to be alone.

[Even if it does seem 'right'.]

[blindfoldcode]

It's not that I like it.

I just don't want the boss or anyone to have to deal with me while I'm recovering.

[timeshields]

I wouldn't want anyone to worry over me.

[blindfoldcode]

If your god's worth his salt, he probably would.

[timeshields]

I'll make sure he won't need to.

[blindfoldcode]

Good luck with that. I think it's just a part of the bond.

[timeshields]

Only if I feel bad.
