Narrator

After that moment of sadness, San told her brother to bring his body to the heart of the forest, where he would lay. She was crying. The karodamas looked at his lifeless body and hung their heads. All the time while walking, San was crying. She would say to herself, "no this is not happening, San. He is strong he couldn't have died. This is just all a nightmare. San, he is alive." Then she would stop crying. But then she would see his body and start crying again. Yakul was very upset about this. He kept whimpering. Soon they reached the heart of the forest. She placed him at the part where sunlight would shine through. She then cut a flower and placed it above him. She knew that this time, he wouldn't be resurrected. The forest sprit was dead. Gone. "Ashitaka, I never got to tell you this. I...I love you." And she kissed his forehead. Then she took one last, final look at Ashitaka. She started tearing up again. Her tears dropped on his wounds. "No. Ashitaka. You could not have d-died. Please. I love you, Ashitaka." Then she rode on her brothers and they rode back to their den.
