[It's a straightforward answer for sure, and Rin appreciates it. Sometimes he's a little too hopeful and he needs a dose of reality to keep him grounded.]
Yeah. Kazu seemed pretty believable, and- I dunno, everyone else seemed so honest. But I guess some of them could have been lying on their own instead of lying because of a shadow.
I think it depends on who they are. [she examines her bitten nails.] I believe that there may be some who will look at it as a simple question of mathematics. If you kill someone who has never killed, you are killing two people - them and their hostage. If you kill someone who has, you are killing only one.
On the other hand, if the culprit was among one of the younger of us and able to engender a certain amount of sympathy, that might counteract this tendency.
[He blinks a few times at that, considering it. Simple math...She's right there, it would be less deaths. However-]
Yeah, that makes sense for the hostages, I guess. But we might be able to bring everyone back anyway, yeah? The contract says we gotta be alive at checkout. In my game we found a way to bring everyone back to life, was it the same in yours?
Is this like, one of those situations where there's thousands of gods of different things and sometimes they hang out with humans? Like what Xie Lian is? Or is this the "there's one God only and they're kind super-powered" kinda thing?

[she says it pretty straightforwardly.]
There's no reason to believe there would be three shadows. Two, perhaps.
