I... He died and lost all his memories? Or just his memories of what happened?

[kokuyoyo]

Everything about what he's been doing in the Far Shore. He didn't know who we were.

[darkestbefore]

Oh, no. Oh, that's... Is this... Has this happened here before?

[kokuyoyo]

Some people die and don't come back. Others do, sometimes with their role reversed. There's no rhyme or reason.

Either way it's the only explanation.

[darkestbefore]

I know about the role reversal, but just dying and losing your memories while still being here...? That I hadn't heard of before.

His poor shinki.

[kokuyoyo]

It's apparently expected of the old guard so long as they have enough followers.

Do you want a new shinki?

[darkestbefore]

Expected? Truly?

I... Me? I would not be against it, if someone needed somewhere to go?

[kokuyoyo]

From what I understand. I guess it makes sense.

Before he died, Hakkai said she was looking for a new god.

[darkestbefore]

Do they not get along?

[kokuyoyo]

I don't know. None of it makes sense. That's what he said she was doing but she was still acting like his exemplar.

It doesn't matter.

[darkestbefore]

Well. If she hadn't found a new god then she IS still his exemplar.
Perhaps they just had a disagreement?

[ She and Shizuo had had those a time or two. ]

Still. If she does need a place to stay or some space from this, you're welcome to pass along the word that she has places to look for it.

[kokuyoyo]

Who knows.

Anyway she doesn't need anywhere. She kicked him out.

[darkestbefore]

....Of his temple?

[kokuyoyo]

Yes.

[darkestbefore]

That... Well. That must have been startling for him to resurrect to.

[kokuyoyo]

Probably less startling than the punch to his solar plexus.

[darkestbefore]

Perhaps I should be offering Hakkai the space at my temple instead...

[kokuyoyo]

He can go to the school. Don't pity him.

[darkestbefore]

Well, it's not like he remembers doing anything wrong. I hardly think that's his fault. Besides, he's helped Shizuo and I so many times that I am in his debt, whether he remembers it or not.

[kokuyoyo]

He's still himself. His death is still his fault.

Do whatever you want.

[darkestbefore]

But how do you know that? I thought you didn't know how he died?

[kokuyoyo]

I don't.

But I know he should have had any one of his shinki with him. He's not lacking.

[darkestbefore]

What if he wasn't expecting something to happen wherever he was?
Not even we can predict every single moment like that, Chikusa. I'm not sure any god here has a shinki with them every minute of the day.

[kokuyoyo]

He wouldn't have died a stupid death. The only serial killer that was a problem has been take care of. There's no excuse for him. He should have had one of us with him.

[darkestbefore]

What about the chainsaws?

[ So maybe that didn't count as serial killings yet, but maybe it should considering the number of people who had run afoul of it. Just because the victims were harder to kill than most so far didn't mean that they couldn't have died from it. ]
