"That's not the point...", Genji mumbled and he was pretty sure Mikuni knew that. He'd killed all of them and because of him Mikuni was all alone now. Otoha additionally told him to take care of Mikuni and that he'd not do well if he were to see the horrors that were left in those hallways and outside. That meant Genji needed to clean up after that curse of his. "I suppose so..." Was it mentally taxing to be immortal? He forgot too many things, that he knew, yet he couldn't be sure why he did. Either way, staying awake for a day or two wasn't what was at fault here. Mikuni seemed much like a child and Genji wondered if he ever had any patience for his own. Did they even tell them about the curse? Did Otoha tell them goodbye before she left to die? Genji didn't even remember their faces, let alone their names. He sighed and shook his head. "Sometimes people just don't find any joy in life anymore. They don't have to be over 800 years old for that." There was nothing wrong with his tongue, he was just tired of living and everything that had to do with it.
"I am the one asking Otoha about many things. She rarely asked me anything in return." She only asked him what happened to him to have him change this much, but that question was less directed at Genji and more at the world, at fate, or whatever was at play here. "You think you can force a being like Otoha, a goddess to do what you want? Don't burn your fingers trying. There are beings a mortal can never win against." Genji knew all too well what he was talking about in that regard. "Why do you assume someone 'slipped up' as if it wasn't true what they've written? Albeit unlikely from a mans point of view, that cannot even remember his own kin, I don't see why it wouldn't be true somehow. I checked every book in this library, they all tell a similar story, at least at the start.", he answered the priest. "I can't believe that I just left or went into hiding. For all I know I could be that powerful demon the books talk about, the one killing Otohas father, yet I wouldn't understand why it took so long... I do not want to kill. No one, not under any circumstance, but if Otoha is to be believed I was much different then. So much so that the curse never really took hold of me, because I fed it well enough. I do know that I hated this man, I can feel it when I read his name, but I can not remember why." Genji sighed again, then he nodded to get up even though Mikuni wanted him to sit down just minutes ago. "I am not sure if his story is important, but I am willing to dig deeper."
