[There is a lot he’s processing right now. His new lot in life, what’s expected of him, what’s not expected, what he can do and can’t, what people say and what they don’t say. He’s heard from several sources and heard different takes. Gods and shinki alike. But he doubts any of them are completely correct or know the entire story. Even the things he’s saying to Makoto right now are repeated second hand.
What’s a shinki and what’s a god in this world? He’s heard anywhere from friends to weapons and users to partners to masters and servants. Shared lives, shared experiences, shared emotions… Sousuke returns his gaze to Makoto again. If this guy right now decided to make him his shinki… what would he do? Probably yell at him, if he’s brutally honest with himself. And yet… He still feels empty. Lost and adrift.
There’s the answer he knew would come.]
Of course you would. That’s who you are. [Sousuke hasn’t known Makoto long at all, but he knows that’s the kind of person he is. The gentle friend.
A question hangs on his lips, but ultimately he keeps it silent. It’s not something Makoto needs right now. Not the question at least.]
Someone told me shinki can’t survive here without a god.
