'What happened? Where am I?' Ei thought

Her surroundings was in a field of snow with leafless branches in the trees.

A little girl ran up to her and spoke "Onii-chan! You're here! C'mon! Okaasan is waiting for us!" the girl said and started dragging the child Ei was in by the hand.

The girl paused her footsteps and clasped her hands against Ei's, as her expression was in confusion.

"Onii-chan... your hand is so warm. Do you have a fever?" the girl then panicked and touched her brother's forehead.

"I'm fine, Fuyumi-chan" her brother reassured her and patted her head.

'Strange. I'm not the one talking' Ei thought

"Don't overwork yourself, onii-chan. Let's go home and take a rest" Fuyumi said and they continued walking.

A sound of an object falling was then heard and Fuyumi turned around towards her brother

"Oniichan, did something fall off your basket?" Fuyumi asked and his brother turned around to see a pyro vision on the snow.

"W-what is this?" the boy asked and held up the vision.

His sister then nudged his shoulder "I remembered Otosan having a thing that looks like that! Let's go and show it to him!" Fuyumi said and they both ran towards their home.

Ei's eyesight was blocked by the snow, as she came back to reality.

Ei was still holding the pyro vision in her hands, as it slowly losses it's color "What was that?" Ei asked and watched the ghost slowly disappear.

"My... sister... Fuyumi- the ghost said in his last words, as tears fell off his lifeless eyes.

The samurai saw his sister Fuyumi infront of him, as he was laying his head on her lap "You're finally with us, Kazuki. Let's go home now" Kazuki's sister said, as he sobbed in his final moments.

Ei then stared at the vision in her hands, as she wondered what to do with it

"Bury it on his grave, Ei"

"And bless his poor soul"

Tomo said and Ei dug out the samurai's grave with her barehands and set the dead vision on the small pit she made.

Ei then gathered the other visions together and fixed her sling bag "Next stop is Higi Village" Ei said and went her way towards the said place.

On her way there, Ei can't stop thinking of what happened earlier.

Ei came across her sister's statue, as she offered her statue an apple.

'Did he lost his sister? I too... lost mine...' Ei thought and hugged herself with the statue.

In the corner of Ei's eyes, she then saw another sword hilt.
