It was very short, honestly. [ Perhaps, it might better for him to adjust to everything and then figure things out when he gets further. ] It doesn't sound pleasant-- turning into a ayakashi and fading away. [ It must be a strange word to use but it sounds logical in the conversation. He doesn't really blame him for using that word. ]

I wasn’t aware a shinki could be without a god for so long. [That makes him curious as to what really a shinki had to rely upon a god for. He knew there are some risks but… This guy obviously isn’t simply a spirit floating around aimlessly. He’s doing things, learning things.] Aa. It doesn’t.

[He should make a point to go to the labor center sometime as well, see what he can find there.] A lot of people gave me information my first day, but most of it was confusing or upsetting. Anything’s better than nothing though. [He wonders if his information’s been helpful to this guy more because of the topic or if it really has been more helpful just in general.]

It’s going to be hard for me to give them the benefit of the doubt right now. Maybe later, when things have calmed down. [As the guy said, given the situation. Every shinki will simply have to figure it out for themselves where they stand on the idea of trusting gods.]
