Nobuo stood still, the information seemed to weigh down on him like a boulder. Despite how much he tried to brush off the words as if they had been random words thrown out into the blue, there was something within that was hanging on to them like a hook, preventing him from ignoring what he had just heard, even if they were horrible things, "If that is so..." His thoughts raced, uncertain of how to approach this, "If that is so, then I at least was in a battle when I died? Why did they call it the time of possession? Why can't I remember any of this?" His father didn't seem like the type of person who had wanted to make people go through so much misery just to make life easier for himself, but here before them were two individuals who had been scarred by such cruel treatment, "Did they fear the other clans that much that they would make a new type of tengu to do their dirty work?"

Arata nodded to what Rie had to say, Fun! So we can take this guy down by other means. He looks like he's breaking already, heheheh. He hopped down from the wall, but remained quiet so that Rie could continue answering Nobuo's questions while he had thoughts of making the bond between him and Rie stronger so that Nobuo would be the one to meet his end.
