[Ayumu understands pride. Oh, does she understand. And stubborn willfulness, too. She sighs.]
I don't know but I think it's best to leave the past alone and learn who you are in other ways.
[During Ayumu's time here as a goddess, she would have been able to answer that question with painful wisdom, having lost a shinki, her lover, to that same fate when he learned too much about himself and turned into an ayakashi. But those memories, too, are out of her reach.
Despite that, Ayumu looks clearly distressed by this turn of conversation. Whatever happens at the end of this path can't be anything good. This feels like dangerous ground to tread.]
Please don't think about such things - ah, I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
[Maybe it's because the girl looks so young or because they seem to share a similar outlook on some things in this situation but a surge of protectiveness flares up with Ayumu. This line of thought is dangerous and nothing good can come of it; that much Ayumu is certain of.]
