... We'll have to see how it effects Mika, if there's any change.

[ He's so stupid. He should have gotten them all out of there sooner. Or applied the protection spell sooner - just... anything sooner. Anything useful, instead of what ended up happening. ]

Why can't the moon come down? We say it's not supposed to - but where did we get that idea from?

...If anythin' looks like it's turnin' for the worse, you can grab me or any of the other Souths. Or even Tatara, if you're willin'. [ Though he knows quite a few people find Tatara to be kind of unreliable, so he won't push it. ]

Well, mainly for the material fact that I'm pretty sure if one celestial body came too down close to all beneath heaven, it ain't different from a giant rock 'bout to smack into the earth now, would it? [ The literal answer, which is apparently somewhat relevant in this world, if Day hasn't misunderstood things. ]

But also...at least for me, where I'm from, the moon is also a goddess, and when the gods meddle with the world directly, what follows usually ain't good for anyone. [ The direct rule of the mortal realm by gods is forbidden for good reason. ] Any reason why you're askin', Ginger?

I’m grabbing all of them, clearly. But maybe… [ And he mutters the rest: ] …maybe Tatara first.

[ He sounds reluctant now, but in an emergency, he wouldn’t hesitate. Not if it meant saving Day. Or Mika. Or… ]

I guess I just… don’t understand the fear of it. An unlikely planetary collision aside, I feel like there’s something big we don’t know yet.

[ There's a small smile, since he caught that mutter. But he wisely decides not to comment on it, knowing Ginger. ]

I think...considerin' what we've seen just chunks of the moon do—rot limbs, stir up ghosts, animate dolls and make them murderous—can you imagine what kinda nonsense the moon itself would do? And the people here have to deal with that every year. Kinda hard to blame bein' afraid of it, yeah?
