[The lies of humans was a different thing from the ignorance of knowing what was below the surface of the living world, now wasn't it? Matoba sees this answer for what it is, and lets out a soft breath in the wake of the man's explanation- maybe in sympathy, maybe in pity.]

[Ayakashi created enough problems for mankind. Men didn't need to create more for themselves. The pettiness of human infighting was truly a foolishness he couldn't stand.]

In general, I dislike this situation, [Matoba admits, looking out on the crowd. He will be frank, since the man has given the same] That is, ones such as yourself and your presence here. The Sightless need not be involved in these ayakashi squabbles. Leaving you to your "explanations" would have been just fine.

....But what is done is done, and now you know the truth of the world you could not see. [It wasn't "Sight", but rather like pulling back the veil entirely. It was strange, Matoba felt when he first arrived- to be able to see them and interact with them, minus the second nature of feeling them that was spiritual perception.] Don't worry- there is still some logic to this world, too. The trouble of it is that ayakashi follow a logic of their own, and it tends to be quite incompatible with us humans.
