Yeah. She's... well, she's the priestess, and I guess it's sort of my job to protect her? But I didn't do it because of that. I just did it because I wanted to.
... In the memory I called myself 'Uruki', when I was defending her. It's kind of funny, because in all my other memories I hated that name. I hated that it even existed...
But I guess if someone didn't protect her Takiko would get into trouble. She'd just work herself too hard and get sick and then what! It's not like those other guys can manage it by themselves!
