Say you are a shinki... and you have lost your god. You have waited for them to come back... but you have begun to realize, perhaps they never will return. Now, you feel empty... and lost.

But then, a god who has watched over you since you arrived here takes you in. You care about them a great deal. You want to ask if they will allow you to be their shinki...

But do you do it, if the chances are slim that they will accept? Is it best... to spare yourself the embarrassment... and pain... of being rejected? I am currently living with them... so I also fear that perhaps if I pose the question and am rejected... perhaps they will not want me to stay with them anymore. I would like to think that they are a better person than that... a kinder person... but what if I am wrong? What if I am just fooling myself into thinking otherwise... due to my own loneliness?

What would you do?

Was I really that obvious?

...But yes, I am. For a brief time, someone from my own world who I care about very much was here. We hadn't seen each other or had the chance to talk for quite some time, so I was overjoyed at seeing him again. My thoughts soon turned to whether I should confess the depth of my feelings, and while I was still trying to find the right words, he was gone just as suddenly as he'd arrived. Now I wonder what might have been, had I simply approached him. So when I saw your post, it made me think of that. I suppose that makes my response a bit selfish, but I don't want to see anyone else have those same regrets.

You just seemed to be... wizened on the matter.

I'm sorry to hear that. But you are right... I do not wish to have the same regret. I am unsure o what my former life was, but I wish to... experience this one to the fullest, if I am able. Perhaps those thoughts could have answered my own questions, but... sometimes it is good to hear the opinion of others.

I agree completely. It helps to talk your feelings out sometimes, even if you end up feeling like you knew the answer all along. I wish you the best of luck.
