aw, don't be like that. what makes you think i've got something?
i can smell the little whelp from here. you can't just bring in every stray you find, you know.
yeah yeah, you know me too well. but we do need at least some spirits to survive to torture condemned souls, which brings me to my next point.
have them cleaned and clothed, and don't let the hellhounds near them until they've gotten used to their scent. this little one's been through enough today.
*sigh* as you wish, lord jigoku.
ah. that reminds me. i never asked for your name, kid.
...shirazaki.
shirazaki. a bit long, but i'll think of a nickname for you. anyways...
you're safe here. i'm sorry about your family, but there's nothing we can do about them now. if you'd like, we can hold a funeral for them. there's... no second chances for spirits like us when we die, but it's still important we put the dead to rest, out of respect.
mm-hmm... i'd appreciate that.
all right, let's get you cleaned up first then. i'll see you again soon.
