Shiro's POV. Bourou Village, Watatsumi Island.

After hours of travelling from the Grand Narukami Shrine to the said island, the Traveler and his companion first lead me to the village.

As they wanted to visit a friend.

Then afterwards, we arrived at a small shrine as the three of us paid our respects.

Shiro: So, this is Teppei, huh?

Aether: Yes.

Paimon: .............

Shiro: Did he asked anything before he died?

Aether: He said that we'll go wear our uniforms together.

Shiro: I see. Get the uniforms.

Aether: Huh!? But-

Shiro: Just get it.

Aether: O-Okay.

After a few minutes, the Traveler and Paimon returned. Then Aether placed the other uniform in front of the shrine.

Aether wore the uniform.

Aether: Okay, now what?

I folded my hands.........as I channel my divine powers. After a few seconds, the three of us were engulfed in light.

Aether: What is this?

Paimon: Too bright!

Shiro: Hold on.

After that, we were in a different place. A space only filled with fireflies.

The Traveler and Paimon looked around in awe.

Aether: Woah.....

Paimon: This seems familiar with Ei's Plane of Euthymia. But this is kinda different.........

Then I explained to them.

Shiro: This is the Boundary.

Aether: The Boundary?

Shiro: Of life and death.

Paimon: Of what!?

Both of them are shocked.

Aether: Well, this is somehow similar when we accompanied Hu Tao, right?

Paimon: But in her case, it's like the material world and the afterlife.

Shiro: I see, so you had that experience.

Shiro: But in this case, this is the boundary of life and death. A place where the soul still remains and chooses not to move on yet because of......

Shiro: Regrets or anything.

Paimon: Wait......
