[ them all being yato, in their ways, makes booting them back to the mirror all the more difficult for hiyori. it has to be done, eventually. they can't stay forever and they can't take the place of yato, no matter how similar they could be. or how much "better" they think they are.

I'm sorry. As much as I like you, there is no better version. He's Yato. I've thought a lot about this already, long before now. I thought about it when I spoke about love with Anon-san. I thought about it when Nico-san told me it would be better and more kind to cut ties. I thought about it after talking to Ryu-san, too. But I've made my decision, and I will stick with it no matter what happens. If there are problems, Yato and I will work through them together. If that's him making me uncomfortable or if I make him upset. We take care of each other.

Besides, I do like Rainy. She's a part of the household. Yato was being thoughtful in his weird, over-the-top way.
