He looked over Tsuya.
It was not like he outright denied the fact that likely the sense of justice was difficult to simply expand outside the borders of mortality. But in a certain sense, that was what he was in the first place. He could not exactly change entirely, despite all things he could be going through. Each and every event in his life had shaped him up this way.
"Who knows. There may very well be the hand of God, hovering above. Making us unable to act of our own will in the first place. Or could it be that it our very will that drives the Gods? After all, if you would truly be a thorn in their side, why would they not act against you?"
The notion of the most benevolent Gods damning them, well, it was not something he would be shocked about. His sympathy was not simply 'obtained' by anyone, even with his ties to Heaven.
"I had never thought that life was a gift of the Gods of such. Maybe we are just sinners, all of us. Damned to suffer through, as punishment for something we might not even have committed ourselves."
The swordsman simply shut his own eyes. Images of death, clung to his soul no matter how much soul searching or moving on one could do. He had seen simply too much for one lifetime, even after so many years had passed. But, even then, he made it through.
"They can pick on me. Whatever Gods it is. I will fight back, struggle, endure, contend. In life and death. That is not just strong talk, bravado or whatever you wanna call it. Because that is all I can deliver, all I can do, my only response. But I can not change, as for what I am."
He placed his hands down the counter, while his shoulders drove him back, leaning against nothing but air ever so slightly, feeling each inch of his body stretch. Probably a few bones cracking as well.
"That so? Ah."
Nasu looked back at her, well, it was not like she did not look human, but he had... quite a different idea of her, he wondered why.
"I must have misunderstood at the time, then. I have met a few Earthlings, indeed. Some, quite interesting, but you remain a most peculiar example."
He chuckled a bit, before he just smiled over, the term Shinigami was quite new to him, too. So he could not quite make heads of it.
"What's a Shinigami? Sounds ominous."WC: 426
