[Honestly, Cain was suprised too. He hadn't expected even asking would work, which is even more why the Enma's answer hurt.

He did listen to the mythos of the Haniyasu, though, as it seems they were actual gods to some people.]

I was recently promoted, so I decided to stick around a little longer and ask him a couple things I'd been meaning to. I...didn't think he'd answer me either.

[He was hoping the profane part maybe held a clue to someone who knew more, but perhaps in that case it really was something unique to this world and this being. The Enma's remarks still cut deep and he was still reeling from it despite having not told anywone.

Somehow Minato seemed almost safe. He was a good companion, none of the baggage of being a wizard and-he'd seen how Cain hesitated when Nicholas had appeared.]

Otherwise....there's not much else. He said he told the people who needed to know what they needed. And I was-am, not one of them.

[It is very obvious that he does not want to make eye contact again because he absolutely couldn't control his expression.]

I,well...I can't deny the things he said are true, so I'll just have to keep working to earn his trust.
