Kokoka was somewhat amazed by all the stories about the man, especially about the oddities he had collected.  It didn't seem like many people knew about the troubles he was having... although if he was starting to go senile, as some townspeople suggested, it might make sense that his problems with the spirits were only in his own head.  Hearing about the girl helping with the shrine eased a bit of her nervousness; at least she wouldn't be alone with a potentially-crazy man.<br/><br/>Once she figured she heard enough (and had gotten enough quick snacks and drinks to fill her up), she decided to head out towards the shrine.  Hopefully, she could start up a conversation with him about his collectables before talking about this spirit problem.
