I won't have much to say.
[ nothing that wouldn't be things that shinobu probably won't already know? it's not as though he hides anything from her. also this is a step above him outright rejecting it, right? yay...? ]
[ though he doesn't verbally rebut her, his face does scrunch up and there's a look of displeasure and resigned acceptance. yes, this is something a pillar should do but—
why does he have to say anything...? isn't being there enough? it should be enough. if he was the kind of person to be combative about this he'd have questioned if mitsuri was also being pushed to do this, but he isn't. ...and mitsuri wouldn't need a push anyway. ]
[ Just being there isn't enough. They have to strive to solve this, and standing around is the same as doing nothing. Support is all well and good, but they can't just stand around. They can't afford it.

[ Even beyond being a Pillar in a place that doesn't have a demon slaying organization... ]
It's what we all should do, if we want to figure out how to proceed.
