Hmmmm.. I am interested that the people who know anyone involved with the shrine seem to be the hardest hit so far.. going to be interesting to see how they go about this. Maybe they can convince other people to have harae.

I also wonder.. what does the power behind the harae come from? I initially figured they were just channeling the power of Tamao, but he said he doesn't have the strength..

also, sorry I haven't replied to any of your comments.. I have some stuff going on for the next few weeks that's keeping me away from my computer almost constantly.
