After all, in this place, even if they disappear, they'll be born again when they dream.There's no holding back against a fellow youkai.
Dream selves have no such concerns either.Even if we have hierarchies or cooperation, we're still solitary by nature.
That means nobody will come help you.People tried not to kill you because you're human.Not to mention that you're a friend of the shrine maiden's. You wouldn't want to make her mad, would you?...That's what becoming a youkai means.Youkai are capricious beings.
That's why our feeling of fellowship is weak.Back then, I bothered to help because the situation was inconvenient for me.
I didn't do it to help you, but because I would've had trouble if I didn't.
