[ But neither does she, so they're at a stalemate here. ]
I have been taking on the sins of man for many years. It is my duty to take that role upon me once again as needed.
[ Her expression and words are even more serious here, and there isn't a single moment of hesitance. ]
I... have lived a very long life. Longer than most humans can recall. All I wish for is to see man live peacefully, even if it is at the cost of myself.
[ Her features then soften, her voice a touch melancholic. ]
If I had been a much stronger kami... I would have been able to grant that child's wish. But it messed up somewhere, and I can't help but think that I messed up already. That I wasn't good enough. I pitied myself for my weakness. It's why I decided that if things went wrong, I'd end it myself.

It is how I wish to make up for my own sins.
