Ei then opened her eyes, to see that she was under a Sakura tree. Ei sat up and saw it was not snowing anymore. Tomo then noticed Ei and waved at her. A smile formed in Ei's lips, when she saw the man.
She walked up to him and saw he was shirtless

Ei blushed deep red at the sight infront of her "Ei! You're here! I just planted flowers earlier— Ei? Are you okay?" Tomo was looking at her "Where are you looking at? My eyes are up here" Tomo said and held her chin, making Ei look up at him "uh— huh?... what we're saying earlier?" Ei asked and Tomo puts his hand back down "I was asking you; if you want to see that flowers I just planted hours ago" Tomo reminded her and Ei nods.
While they were walking, Ei then spoke "I just had a meeting with Kamisato Ayaka earlier and she informed me that; your grave was dug out months ago" this made Tomo stopped in his tracks "eh, really? Since when?" Tomo was confused "You didn't knew about it?" Ei was also confused "No... what did happened?" Tomo asks "They said that; 3 days after you were buried, someone reported to the Kamisatos that your grave was dug out and they found no traces left in the surroundings, except for your scarf that was left behind" Ei told him and she then asked "Where were you before the incident happened?" Tomo then told her the story after he was buried.
——————————————————————— (Flashback 1 year and 5 months ago)
After Tomo was blessed and buried by the Yashiro commission and the Grand Narukami priestess.
He was sitting on a stone next to his grave. Tomo ran his fingers through his hair "ugh... my plan on tricking the Shogun was a fail..." Tomo stared at the ground 'but some of what I said we're actually true...' ——————————————————————
Ei then spoke "You were planning on tricking me to be able to kill me?" Tomo shook his head when Ei's face turned dark "No, I wasn't planning on killing you! My goal was to defeat you and maybe give you a chance" Tomo said "hm, please proceed the story then" Ei said and Tomo nods his head.
—————————————————————
"What plan?" Tomo heard a voice and he looked up to see a man or woman wearing a long black cloak and holding a lantern "You can see me?" Tomo asks and the person scoffed "Of course we can see you" Tomo was then dumbfounded "'We'?" The person then adjusted the light of the lantern, allowing Tomo to see the other people behind him.
Tomo stood up and asked "Who are you?" Tomo tried squinting his eyes to see the person's face but darkness forbid him "Just call me 'Kawatare'" Kawatare said and turned around "Now, follow me. There's still a few spirits I need to guide to the border" Tomo then followed the group of spirits and catched up to Kawatare.
"Kawatare..." Tomo spoke and Kawatare turned to him "hm?" Tomo then asked "Is it okay if a spirit stays in the living world?" Kawatare answered "Well, if you possess a physical body; it's okay. if you don't; your spiritual body will disappear or become a seelie with no alternate memories of their past" Tomo looks up at the sky and back at the grim reaper.
"Can a spirit possess a physical body for many years?" Tomo asked him "Possessing a physical body is something really risky to do, it's something far from your expectations" Kawatare said "Why is that?" Tomo was curious and interested at the topic "If you try to possess a human body; their spirit will provoke you to go away and people who witnessed the abnormal behavior of the human you're trying to possess; therefore they will call an exorcist to ban you from the body" Kawatare said.
After some time, Kawatare finished gathering the spirits and started their way to the border. Tomo tapped Kawatare's shoulder, making him turn his head around "Kawatare, if you don't mind me asking; Where is the border located?" Tomo asked "The border does not stay in one place, it depends on the moon cycle" Kawatare said and Tomo look up to the moon "Tonight is going to be in Liyue" Kawatare mumbled but Tomo heard it very clearly "Is there a night where all borders are open at once?" Tomo asked and Kawatare nods "During lunar eclipses. My favorite phase of the moon was; the hybrid eclipse, it was so beautiful" Kawatare said.
They were then on a beach and Kawatare then transformed his lamp into a boat. He then gestured the other spirits to ride on board, as he summons a oar paddle and started rowing. Tomo sat near where Kawatare was rowing "Kawatare, do Gods see us?" Tomo asked and "Gods and other immortal beings; most tend to ignore us or doesn't believe of our existence" Kawatare said "Is it true that; vision wielders have a high chance of ascending to Celestia?" Tomo asks and Kawatare went silent for a moment and spoke "You ask too many questions, Tomo. Questions that even an immortal cannot answer" Tomo stared at the crystalline ocean, as Liyue harbour was slowly appearing in sight.
When the group of spirits were in Liyue, they then started their way to Qingce Village 'That was faster than I thought it would be' Tomo thought, as he watched Kawatare transform his lanter into a scythe.
Kawatare then slashed a few demons and evil spirits along the way "That was cool!" Tomo commented and asks "Is that a special thing for reapers? How does it work?" Kawatare then transformed it into a orb and said "This is my soul. It can take any form given by the one who carries it. All mortals have souls" Kawatare then transformed it into a lamp and Tomo asks "How can I summon my soul?" Kawatare then chuckles and said "You can summon it by opening your heart"
Tomo placed his palm into where his heart was located, as a lilac orb appeared and dispersed into lightnings, making the night turn into day in a flash. The other spirits then awed and after a few seconds, the orb dashed back to Tomo "Was that normal?" Tomo asks "I don't know. Come on, let's go to the border. We don't have all night" Kawatare said and finally guided them to the entrance of the border.
When they entered, They then saw a large bottomless pit covered by a thick mist. Kawatare then transformed his soul into a bridge for the spirits to cross over.
One by one walked across the other side and Tomo stepped back "hm? What's wrong?" Kawatare asked Tomo 'Wait... what will happen to Inazuma? I can't leave yet...' Tomo thought about it and Kawatare touched his shoulder "If you want to wait a companion of yours to accompany you in the afterlife. You can wait with Lanxi over there" Kawatare said and pointed at the girl "But there's still a price to pay if you want to wait for someone" Kawatare said "A price...?" Tomo mumbled "Yes, your memories fade every time passes" Kawatare spoke.
"I'm deciding to... to not cross over this bridge, until the situation in Inazuma has been solved" Tomo oath "Very well then, I won't stop you from doing it" Kawatare said and waved Tomo goodbye, as he exited the border.
