I'm actuallly half-tempted to come clean (omitting the fact we moved in with Nitori) to calm her worries, but I'll let everyone else decide if that's a good or horrendous idea first.

Every day, people are becoming more and more selfish, more and more willing to turn against their fellow resident of Gensyoko. With all the supplies of the old Gensyoko drying up, the desperate will rob us of our goods in order to survive in such a harsh environment. It's separated families and friend-in fact in my search for news I encountered one Youkai in the former hell who's best friend was somehow stuck working for the Hakurei maiden-and her friend hadn't the slightest clue until I told her just this afternoon!
