The loop breaks. Under the bleeding cherry blossoms, Dazai lies amidst the carnage of slaughtered townsfolk, her bandages stained fresh with red. Chuuya, trapped in her restrictive wedding kimono, approaches the fallen Oni. Dazai’s hand rises, dull and emotionless eyes fixed on her former sacrifice. The air is thick with a century of regret and the silence of a love never understood. Dazai reaches out, her touch cold against Chuuya’s warm cheek, while the bells on the bride’s headpiece jingle a mournful tune in the sudden, terrifying quiet.
