"Yuichiro... isn't with us anymore, and Mui...he... ran away to become a demon slayer... ne told me to wait for him... but... since you kidnapped me... I'll never see him again." Akaza's eyes widened. If I hadn't taken her in... she... might be with her brother? "I-I'm so so sorry! If-If I had known-" "It-It's fine." Seeki whispered. "He thought I was weak. Just by existing, that proves him wrong!" She said, her voice becoming more determined towards the end. "I'll grow up and protect good humans from bad demons, and good demons from bad slayers!" Akaza smiled. This girl has guts!

Muichiro awoke with a start from his futon in his estate. Who was that? She- she had a streak of blue hair... like mine...

He gripped his head as a wave of memories hit him right in the face.

I was alone at ten, my parents dead- wait. That's wrong. I wasn't fully alone until a couple months after they died. I-I had a brother.

An older one. A-and a sister.

Yuichiro was my brother. He was cold and harsh to Seeki and I... 'The truth is, the Mu in Muichiro is a cow's moo!'

My younger sister, Seeki, was the exact opposite. As the youngest, she should have been the least experienced in the ways of the sword, the most innocent. And yet... she was always looking up to us with grim determination, like if she fell behind in the slightest, she would be tossed away like a worn kimono.

And then... Yui died... 'T-Th-The truth is, t-the Mu i-in Muichiro i-is the-the Mu i-in Mugen... Infinity...' Seeki was never the same, and I suppose I hurt her in more ways than one, but...

"I need to do whatever it takes to get her back!"
