[He knows this guy's Makoto's shinki. Though he doesn't know Makoto really well (like everyone else here besides Rin and Goten), he's always thought to himself Makoto's shinki would be happy with him. But... Obviously that can't be the case. Not if these questions are coming. It's a strange feeling, trying to talk to or maybe give advice to someone he doesn't like.
On the one hand, he can definitely tell Haru to fight for his rights as a shinki. But on the other hand, the disgust and revulsion that comes from being forced to betray his own god and serve as someone's shinki against his will is a powerful enough trump over his own pride that it's hard to encourage a shinki to buck against as god's tracking them.
Being wary of the gods is only a start; there are two "evils" here and one of them is obviously the lesser of the pair. Irksome as it is.]
Some shinki, apparently, feel they're strong enough to fight against gods.
[He doesn't see how that's possible, unless there's a match up of strong shinki versus weak god. 'Weak' in this case being a god that either can't break through the shinki's borderline, though he doesn't know if that will stop a god's ability to name, since it's voice and will rather than anything physical.]
Unless there's a way for a shinki to fight back or refuse to be named, a compromise may be all we have.
shame on you, hurting makoto like that ... (why are they so similar?)
