I didn't catch everyone's discussions, but what I got out of the whole thing is that the crows in this town are weird, even though... they're normal crows. Kinda like... maybe they're physically just normal crows, but they were trained to not act like a normal crow.

[ Hm... ]

Now that I think about it, crows following one specific person for a week straight is pretty weird itself. One of them even dropped this on my head when I was cleaning outside.

[ He pulls out the shiny rock from his pocket. ]

I can't find out where the crow got it from, but I doubt crows can open the offering box on their own and I don't think they can coordinate something like that, but what I do know is that this isn't some copy, but it's definitely the stuff that Shadows sometimes drop when they die.

[ He got Kido's omamori too, but... that's for another time. He was also about to bring up how crows could cross worlds to bring items that belonged to them or acting as messengers, but Kido doesn't need to hear about more possibilities on going back either. ]
