I do not think this is the time for beach parties. Half of us cannot remember who we are. Those of us who know a shinki's past could kill them with a single word, without ever meaning for them to come to harm. This should not be accepted as normal without so much as an explanation as to why it is necessary.

What reason could there possibly be to strip someone of all memory?

Why does nobody seem to know what is going on?

I... have no idea. I still don't understand much and I don't know the original gods.

[More than an apology, it's a sentiment of sorrow.] I just don't know what to tell you either, and I wish I could help you feel better somehow. But even if life and death are unfair, here we are, and I think we have to make the best of it.

I do not recall meeting them, either. I am unsure that any of us have.

I completely agree. Now that we are here, we do have a responsibility to live our lives wisely and well. My concern is that we have not been well-informed enough to see to it that we do, and that troubles me.

...I think you're really kind and honest, Kija. Next time we see each other, can I offer you a hug? Or something tasty to eat? I know it's not answers or comfort, but...
