1. What's your opinion on species unlike your own? Do you treat them the same, or differently? Are they less important than your own kind or on equal standing? Different species...? I don't think I treat them much differently. If I were to treat other youkai as any less important I'm pretty sure they'd get rather upset. [Since it's not like tsukumogami are very high on the totem pole.] Humans...they made me and all the other objects I know. I don't think I'm in any position to say they're less important.
2. What do you think of yourself? How do you value your own life? I'm an umbrella. a very old one, even though all the others I've met would say I'm not much more than a babe. Even so, I am fortunate to have been granted such a quaint life. All I can do with it is to...live, I guess.
3. What makes you happy? Flower-viewing. Trains. ...Things being treated well. [As he lists the things out he seems to have this sort of...glazed, distant look on his face. He's just thinking about the things that make him happy, really.]
4. If there is one thing about yourself that you could change, what would it be? ...It'd be nice if I could actually taste food. [Because eating looks like fun and he would like to cook but that is rather difficult when you can't taste anything.]
5. If you could be reborn as someone else, who would you be? Why? ...I honestly don't know? I'm rather happy the way I am. If I must, maybe as a...human? Or not as an umbrella. Maybe I'll better understand what being a "person" is like then. Though I think the whole thing about being reborn is that you forget your past life, so I wouldn't be able to compare anyway.
