is...is Yato gonna True-Love's-Kiss her back to live?

it has always shaken me how cheerful yato pretends to be in the noragami anime (and in the manga to a certain extent). he was a god of calamity, and i don’t think he will ever entirely forget that persona he had for so many centuries. we see hints of his truer personality-- slightly cold, logical, and skilled-- whenever he kills phantoms and the evil beings in the noragami universe. but i think that the real yato is a combination of the two, a foolhardy in action but wise in principle god who wants to escape from an abusive and destitute past and learn to bring cheer to others, even if he has to do manual labor and odd jobs to do so.
