☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Perhaps. After all, the Temple of Yanagi has roots that go back to the very foundation of the world, and the conditions were different then. But, in any case, it doesn't set itself the task of regulating people's everyday lives. If someone voluntarily turns away from the surrounding nature and the Kami residing in it, or if they never turn to it and instead implant metal into themselves, then who are we to judge? It's their conscious choice. No one will praise or condemn them for it – in the end, they and their lineage will rot away with it. Not everyone is capable of harmonious coexistence with the world around them. If that were the case, there wouldn't be a "sect of chaos" in Anush, would there? - he shrugs, then nods with a smile. - But I'm glad to see that you've found something that suits you, Kalina-dono. You really look happier and healthier than before. Perhaps you've even quit smoking? And I'm also glad that you've reconciled with your father. He's an active person, let's say, which can sometimes make him uncomfortable for some introverts, but I've never seen or heard anything from him that would be worthy of condemnation. I think our city is very lucky to have him.
