[ Her response is swift, but not unforgiving at all, as if cutting off the man's self-doubt before it would dare to sprout into something more. If anything, it would be far stranger if he hadn't said anything, because she's sure most would think, with Tamamori's remark about her being a sparrow oni, and her name being what it is, that she would belong right here in Hell as a native. To Minakami, she closes her eyes and nods. ]

Even though I'm a sparrow oni from Hell, I'm a lost soul, just like you. [ She nods toward Tamamori next. ] And I live in Sutoku housing, just like you.

[ But the expression on her face falls when Minakami brings up the funeral. She can't blame him for wincing at the thought. ]

They'll have to put these somewhere, though, even if it might not be those exact temple grounds. Have you felt anything coming from these haniwa?

[ An unspoken "too" lingers at the end of her question. She may be depowered, but oni are still oni and her feathers stand a bit on end when too many are nearby, her senses telling her that these little guys give off bad vibes, sad to say. ]
