You know... Part of being a Shinki is that we don't have to fall back into temptations we had as a human. You remember how I wss before I left and I was worse when I wasn't here. I stole, lied and... [Almost groped Hiyori, but he won't be saying that.] The thing is, we're just souls, pure souls. That's what allows us to be Shinki. But if we commit sins... Dark marks show up. They don't hurt us, but they sure bring a lot of pain to the God that named us.
[He sighs and looks down towards their hands.]
If we fuck up enough, then we cross the line and we turn into Ayakashi. Darker souls, monsters. And let me tell you, Snow, I was pretty close to becoming one and almost killing Yato. Some other Shinki managed to perform a ritual on me, I confessed everything and went back to normal. That form I had there, when I almost turned into an Ayakashi... That was my spirit form in that world.
