[Just something Sousuke has to deal with himself, though if he ever gets the chance, he’s going to try to change… something. He doesn’t know; there’s a list of opinions he has about how a skinki’s lot in their new life could be improved. Topic for another time.

Or now. Sousuke’s expression is quiet, but there’s a hardness in his eyes as the topic brings up some trying memories. Ones he’s grown by experiencing, but still not pleasant.]

Depends on who you talk to. Shinki would probably say the former, gods would say the latter.

[He is momentarily humbled, however, when she brings up the aspect that gods are suffering in their own way as well. He’s seen Rin experience that crisis a few times now and it’s no less frustrating and burdensome than his own dealing with his missing memories.]

The only thing I’ve heard is that the new gods were brought in to either replace something that was broken or do something better than the previous group.

[Take that with a huge grain of salt though. Without a group effort demanding or rebelling or someone accessing something they shouldn’t, there was nothing they could do to find out. That he knows of. You’d think if someone had found out anything about “why,” they’d have said something on the network.

Sousuke glances up. Crossroads and she’s deferring to him for a choice in direction? Bad decision, Kuroyukihime.]

This way. [And heads right. The sounds are louder from that side. Maybe. It’s a direction.]
