>Smile then approach the mattress with her.
>Lie her down carefully.
>You set her down on the mattress with the utmost care.

>"Is you ankle hurting much ? I`m sorry, i don`t have any magic or something to heal it.... you can just rest and wait for it to recover."

>You sit for a few seconds, while Rengeteki works up the courage to speak.
>"Okay... So a long time ago I met this youkai... She was my first friend. My best friend. She was everything to me... You might even say I... loved her..."
>Tears begin to form in Rengeteki's eyes.
>"I had another friend too... A phantom... She loved music. She and my best friend would often play instruments together, and all three of us got along well... Well, until... it turned out that the phantom loved my best friend too... We started to drift apart... My best friend eventually got wind of it, and called us all to a place to compromise..."

I..." tears begin running down her face, "The g-ghost never forgave me for it... s-she b-broke my arm... a-and threw m-me into a thorn-bush... I-I ran... Never saw h-her again... S-Spent nearly every moment a-after trying to repent... must repent... I-I must s-suffer for my s-sin..."
>She begins crying uncontrollably...
