Ah, by "worldly issues" (sans typo this time!) I didn't mean the suicide itself, but rather the effect it has on the shrine's economy. As is shown in today's update, Shiraishi seems to be way more concerned about money than she is about spiritual matters. She's not even asking why Akiko was so desperate to have the shrine purified, and why it couldn't wait even a little while. Granted, <i>someone</i> must care about the shrine's finances, but what point is there to a shrine if such matters take priority over everything else? Perhaps Mr Takenaka's prayers were too focused on his company's finances as well? If the only real 'customer' asks for fortune in business, it might have a negative effect on the shrine.

And I can't take full credit for my username. Some friends at school came upp with it to tease me about my middle name. Was a long time ago now, and I figured it'd make a good username nowadays. :)
