[Poseidon was ready to just slip back into the sea and continue searching, but...he remembers talking to Choromatsu about Megami, about how he wished he could meet "her" someday. And he thinks about how he feels like Megami has a right to know what's going on, even if he didn't raise the children himself.
So, once he's had a moment to catch his breath, Poseidon explains everything.
He tells Megami that six babies hatched from the egg a few weeks after he was given it, and he'd named them all after the island Megami lived on. Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu. He explains how Choromatsu was always intrigued by human things no matter how much he was warned to stay away.
He then tells him of the tragedy of Choromatsu nearly losing his life to a fishing net after meeting with a human over time. He tells of how he wiped his memories of her...and how that decision came back to haunt him. He goes further to tell of the falling out he had with his son the night prior, banishing him from the shore and making it impossible for him to leave the sea...only to be unable to find him now.
By the time he reaches the present in his story, Poseidon had begun to cry without realizing it initially. Large tears rolling down his cheeks and falling dangerously close to Megami as his voice breaks on the last few legs of his story. Now, for his own indignation and inability to understand, Poseidon may have very well doomed one of his precious sons to an untimely demise.]
I l-love them so much, Megami...I just...I just wanted to protect them...
