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?

Imbalanced... Is that how it seems? For my partner and I, it's been balanced, but...

It's not right that they can't remember anything without endangering themselves.

I agree entirely. And withholding that knowledge - or not - puts those of us who hold it in a position of considerable power over those who do not. There is nothing a shinki can do about the things we might say, except to hope we are not callous enough, or foolish enough, to betray what we may know.

It is not right to give one man that kind of power over another, and simply trust that he never use it.
