[ ...Ah. ] Er... --The people in the white robes, did you not speak to them? [ She supposes not. They were the ones who informed her of this world and how it works. She presumes other shinkis and gods were given the same information. But that he wasn't must mean that he just arrived.

Looks like she'll have to fill him in. ] We're in Higan-- the Far Shore. We were brought from a different world to this one, for me to be a god and for you to be shinki. [ She doesn't want to break the bad news to him. He's too polite and formal. He deserves a peaceful death, a pleasant time in his next life. This world robbed him of a smooth true reincarnation upon his death. While she admires gods, she cannot say the the Heavens here are right in that decision. He should have stayed in his world for that future life of his, not a future here with her, who struggles to be a god. ]

Lu Meng, ah, if they didn't inform you yet, then--... [ She draws a breath. How to be delicate about this. ] Essentially, you've been reincarnated here, while I was spirited away to this place.
