Hey! Um... so I've been thinking about this for a couple of days, but I heard....

[He trails off before regrouping. He should've rehearsed this before he started recording it, but he's got no idea how to go back and delete and re-record now. Onward!]

I heard I used to be a god! I mean, I don't remember, obviously, but if I really was, I guess I should say I'm sorry. And I look forward to meeting you all again. And, um.

[Really should have rehearsed.]

I don't owe anybody money, right?

[He laughs uncomfortably and rushes ahead.]

-- Anyway I guess that's about it! Nice to meet you all again! Sorry I forgot!

[Nailed it. Before he can think better of this whole idea, he hastily stops the recording and hits send.]

More like, being in one of those big temples all alone... shinki can always just go get a new god if they have to, right? I heard any god could name us.

Oh...right. [She could just imagine how lonely that would be. The thought was so unpleasant that she didn't want to linger on that thought for too long.]

Well, that's right... But I don't think it's as easy to get a new god as you're making it sound.

Really?

[He doesn't want to ask, but he needs to, at the same time. He likes Sakura, he doesn't want anything to happen to Sakura, but it sounds like... things happen. Sometimes. So.]

Um -- when I -- how'd you find a new one?

Um... I just got assigned to a new god. [While she hadn't had much choice in the matter, that wasn't the scary part. Anyway.]

But I'd never met them before, so I don't know how they decide that stuff.

Oh. [He hesitates for a moment before blurting-- look, he feels really bad about this, he can't help himself--]

Are they nice?

[She was quiet. How was she supposed to answer that? At the very least, it was an awkward conversation to have with her previous god.]

He's not mean but he's kind of hard to talk to...

That's tough. ... But maybe it'll get easier! As long as he's nice.

[Not mean is the same thing as nice, right.]

Maybe... [Wait. Hoooold on a second.]

It'll be okay though! Don't worry about me!

It's kind of my job to worry about you, though, right?

Huh? [Tsuzuki no she's going to start bawling if you keep that up!!]

N-no way! I want people to smile and laugh instead of worry about me!

I'm pretty good at multi-tasking. I can smile and keep an eye out for you.

I mean, it's only fair.

[a pause. Really, this conversation was getting to be familiar enough that it wouldn't be so hard to forget that he didn't remember her. Even pretending that was the case felt better than the reality.]

Then... I won't get in trouble so you'll be able to spend more time smiling! That still makes it fair, right?

That sounds like a win-win to me.
