It's true that my reputation has opened many doors for you, each with a fair amount of trouble behind.

[ Glad Seimei doesn't feel put on the spot, and... glad about being able to ask his questions, too.
Haruaki spins in a slow circle, head tipped up to watch all the stars spread out overhead, before his sights land on Seimei again. ]
Is there anything you need from me while I'm here?

[Seimei looks up to the sky.]
I've been dead a thousand years now.
no subject
That means you've been alone for a thousand years too, doesn't it?
