Warm? Haha. [You're funny, Soma.] I really am curious. It was such an interesting monster... Trying to hide its identity while at the same time retaining a sense of individualism. It seemed like a truly pathetic struggle. I wish I could have seen it some more.
But then, maybe that contributed to its death? Who can say, just yet.
[Honestly, he can understand Soma's appreciation towards the Enma- he wishes that his own leader had been more like that, that they all understood exactly where they stood. Tools, the lot of them- the Daitengu, too, just a mask and a name acting as the glue for the mutual convenience that was their greater alliance.]
I thought of it. But in my current state, it's best if I just let the others do the groundwork. [Matoba glances towards his left arm, still bound in bandages under his kimono.] ...It's unfortunate, but I made a bit of a miscalculation during all that fuss.
--Ah. I did end up attending the fireworks. I hope you won't mind that I went without you, Soma-san, but I couldn't help but satisfy my curiosity. [He smiles] You do understand?
