I see.

[It's the same for the gods, or at least for him. There are few nights he doesn't dream of a burning platform and crushed bodies. Even now he can feel it, Souma's hand pushing against his chest.]

I'd think... in a situation like that it'd be the little things that hurt the most. Like wanting to thank someone for some past deed when the act itself has been forgotten. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? I've been so focused on the future that the importance of the past never really occurred. But now I can see it. The past... it's the frame on which we stretch the canvas of our lives. If you change its shape, everything else becomes altered as well.

How can you really trust that that bond you feel is yours?

[Poor Keito must have so much on his mind. To express his sympathy and support, Jae-Ha reaches to place a hand on his shoulder. It's brief, not really squeezing so much as just resting there for a second before he drops it away.]

It's not the bond that I feel so much. How to explain it... It's a bit like if you were to say something funny, and I were to remember you, I might laugh and feel very warm, far more warm than with a stranger because we actually did have that bond. But I wouldn't remember any more than that.

Like that, it's far easier to know it's mine. It's all in my emotions, after all. They've never felt foreign. In fact, it's all I have.
