Subaru smiled a little--everyone asked him if he'd joined a club, it seemed. Or maybe it was only that Hokuto was so insistent about it every time the topic came up. "I don't think I'm really suited to the clubs. It seems like none of them really prioritise helping the people who are in danger. I understand the necessity for gathering supplies and information, but it's really not my thing."

Even when working as an onmyouji, Subaru had always been told he was excessively compassionate. He took risks he didn't need to take, always trying to speak with the spirits first, or solve the problem in some way that didn't harm anyone. Other onmyouji would have simply skipped directly to exorcising many of the spirits Subaru had worked with, and would have put themselves in rather less danger in the process. But, alive or dead, people were people, and Subaru wanted to help them all, not just the one who hired him.
