After holding Godo's father in his arms till his inevitable final breath, Kiyoka is left surrounded by the corpses of his fallen comrade in his arms.
However, the creature responsible for all their deaths, the Earth Spider, is still on the loose. Kiyoka chases the horrendous beast down, slaying it with the saber Godo's father gifted him.
If only he had arrived earlier or agreed to give up on obtaining a regular life, perhaps then all those soldiers wouldn't have died.
The time between then and now, at the funeral, flashed before Kiyoka's eyes.
He has little to no recollection of the events, but that won't be the case for long after this mission is completed.
Unfortunately, even in the scenario of success, the outcome of this mission will still be a double-edged sword for him, being retraumatized by the events of that day.
