Let me guess, it's about as big as a 10-yen coin...

...right?

Is that a habit of yours?

Your other feathers are in the way, so I can't see very well, but...

It couldn't have been a very old scar, now could it?

Hmph.

It seems our dream master here has quite a keen eye for useless things.

Are you going to lecture me, an Amanojaku?

I just don't want to see you hurt yourself, is all.

I am, after all, a very selfish person...

...so I can't stand it when a beautiful thing is damaged in front of me.

Isn't the Dream World supposed to be true neutral?

Wouldn't it be taboo for you to care so much, for but an individual like me?

Don't you know? Unruly bakus get turned into steaks.

Now wouldn't that be bad.

To tell the truth...

A friend of mine, with just the same habit as yourself, passed away recently.

So I just don't want you to go down that path.

...Never heard you say that before.

First time I ever told anyone.

So even you had a friend.

Well, it was really just me watching over them, through this dream.
