He can't guess at her story, beyond the bits and pieces she's given, but it's clear there's a lot of pain and guilt tied up in wherever she came from. So, even though it goes against everything he's taught himself to do over the years, he ventures, slowly:] In...my world if you can, ah...see spirits they'll usually...try to go after you.
[Unconsciously, the young man's twitchy tail and ears have lowered, reflecting the more somber mood.] It causes a lot of problems for everyone around you, especially if they can't also see what's chasing you. It looks like...you're misbehaving just to cause trouble. It can make people angry.
[A pause, then Natsume looks up, arms crossed over his chest.] But that doesn't make it your fault. You didn't choose for that to happen.
