[Like a boat with the wind let out of its sails, gosh. It's a little amusing to Kaoru, but the air of neutrality is kept up even so.]

I see... It would seem that's a similarity, then. [The sensationalism of religion, or spirituality, or things that remotely fall into that realm. Maybe that's another reason Kaoru doesn't really have a lot of interest in it; it's not part of his culture to be observant of human religions. Demons have their own ideologies and beliefs, and most of them are firmly rooted in realms of the tangible, too. Family comes before the self or any sort of god-like existence. Paying respect to ancestors is generally more important than worrying about where one's own soul goes, even to those who don't have quite as many bizarre hang-ups as Kaoru.

But it looks like Elliot's question is getting some serious consideration, either way. He sure doesn't give up once he latches onto something...]

Mm... I've wondered if it might go to the place that my ancestors supposedly rest, once or twice. Still, by virtue of not having a solid belief, "nothing" might be what I've considered most often.
