Tiatsu was a bad person? That couldn't be. He had never seen anything in the lines of ruthless killing, only killing on one mission he went on with the Uchiha years ago. Shien couldn't comprehend how any ninja worth their skill would gain passage to the Pure Land if this was how harshly things were judged. Or was it because Tiatsu had avoided death for a full year? Shien couldn't tell any of this, he was just sitting there, not able to do a thing but watch, listen and speak while the seven judges passed their verdict in no time at all.

Kideme chimed in, that offer of hers catching Shien off guard. He couldn't turn his body at all, but he could speak to her, "Kideme. Are you serious?" Shien had feelings for her once, and he still cared a great deal for the girl, he carried those preserved insect necklaces he got from her from all those years ago. The red silk mouth necklace dangling from his neck freely. He knew he couldn't stop her, but he could talk to her.

"You can't come back from this. Just to save one person you're willing to do this Kideme?" Shien thought back, way back, to before he even arrived in Konohagakure. The barely remembered lessons of his father when he and his sister were growing up in SUngakure, ''Instinct is the one thing you can't argue against. No matter what happens, the instinct of a person can't ever be denied. It's the one thing that is right to them.'' of course it seemed arbitary at the time, but SHien had a feeling he understood what it meant.

He couldn't stop what Kideme wanted to do, no matter what he said or did, she was already set on this path. It pained him to see one of his closest friends make such a sacrifice, but in her mind this was the right decision. For him to try and change her mind would be trying to stamp on her instincts. "Kideme, I don't want you to do this. But I--Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Shien didn't have it in him to move, he could only speak, he did not speak out against Death or the council, he only tried to consult with her.
