And so, we are entering the month of December... And a little beyond that, the end of the year. How quickly time flies... I'm sure that everybody has their own share of stories to tell about their year.

I encourage everybody to celebrate, but all the while, reflect on everything that has happened over this bit of time. How far have you come in your lives? That's what everybody should try asking themselves...

Hm... I apologize. This is something I like telling my students this time of the year. Forgive this old man and his habits.

I've been back in my home, I have a duty there.

Duty, eh...? I take it that it has something to do with your name, Kuzunoha... Am I wrong?

[aboyandhiscat.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm one of the Four Great Summoners whose duty is to protect Japan.

Ahh, amazing, to say the least! Yes, so, being one of the people in the world who can see demons, you choose to ally yourself with humanity and protect them...

Or at least, that's what your title requires of you.

[aboyandhiscat.livejournal.com]

...What do you mean by that?

[in-laquetti.livejournal.com]

Well, it's just the way you phrased it... It's your "duty". You're obligated to go through with it one way or another.

But... your personal feelings may be slightly different, perhaps?

...

I want to protect people.

Why so? Beyond simply being Japan's protector, I mean... Even then, a normal boy would struggle to bring himself in front of apocalypse's door, let alone work to close it.

Everyone... everyone has the right to continue living in the way they want to long as they don't harm another. I want to protect that simple right everyone has.

[in-laquetti.livejournal.com]

Admirable. Truly. You are the exact image of what people would consider as Japan's defender... Still, have you gave any thought to your own rights?

As respectable as it is, you seem to focus a little more on others than yourself.

I'll keep that in mind sir.
