[ As Zenitsu speaks, Kyoko falls silent, and gradually the angry murmurs of loneliness and resentment in her heart quiet as well. There's probably nothing anyone could do to make her feel great about this situation, but....
Those might just have been the most reassuring words she's heard since she arrived. Kaito had told her that not everyone wanted to be here, and that it was okay if she didn't feel like smiling, yes; and it wasn't as if everyone she met was falling over themselves to do the gods' bidding, even if the necessity of touch kept coming up everywhere she turned. But Zenitsu had validated her in such a simple, honest way, and maybe it doesn't make everything okay, but a bit of the weight on her heart lifts.
Her eyes widen for a moment, and then she smiles, just a little. ]
... Ah, I ended up making things pretty heavy, huh? And it's the first time we're meeting, too. But I'm glad I got to meet you too, Zenitsu-san. It's just common sense to be scared here, right?
