[He shakes his head, unwilling to say any more. Douman knows that that had been what the Divine Beasts had tried to do with Seimei, but that had been only after the man had been reincarnated. They had merely tried to burn up one soul in the hopes of replacing it with a pieced-together version of an older one. A fools' errand through and through, no matter how much 'divinity' one's got. He isn't feeling guilty for stepping in and stopping them without any hesitation, no matter how much his heart longs for just one more meeting with the real Abe no Seimei.
But the dead are dead, and that's that. Unless they come back as ghosts or undead, but then that doesn't count as them ever having been properly dead, does it?
He is just going to ignore that he had been killed and been fully, properly dead for a short amount of time before he'd been 'reactivated' as a youkai himself. That had been something else.]
