The cycle shatters. Under the weeping cherry blossoms, Dazai lies sprawled among the butchered townsfolk, her bandages freshly soaked in crimson. Chuuya approaches, bound in the stiff layers of her wedding kimono. The Oni lifts a hand, her eyes empty and fixed on the sacrifice she once called hers. The air hangs heavy with a century of regret and the silence of a love she never learned to name. Dazai’s fingers rise, cold as grave soil, and brush Chuuya’s warm cheek. The delicate bells on the bride’s headpiece chime a lonely, mournful note in the sudden, terrifying quiet.
