[Megumi's conscience is clear; when he follows the doll to the end of the trail, Natori is perfectly whole, healthy, and not devoured by spider fans. The lizard is currently splayed across his left cheek and the bridge of his nose, which is why he pretends to study the movie poster on his left (some sort of buddy cop movie about a tengu and an oni solving crimes together) until the doll flutters back to him.]
Haha, probably because of this thing, right? [He gestures with one hand towards his face as the doll lands on his other outstretched palm.] You wouldn't know since you haven't seen the movie, but I'm lucky it stayed hidden until now. It's apparently gained quite the fan club. It'll give me away worse than this dazzling face of mine.
[He doesn't say "dazzling face" with any overt sarcasm, but it still comes across more self-deprecating than sincere.]
