Sounds of cracking, followed by that of shattering. The dome of darkness that surrounded Gensokyo started to break down, splintering into small pieces that faded away into the bright sunlight. A smaller sphere of darkness in the skies of Gensokyo also shattered along with the dome, revealing none other than the shrine maiden of Gensokyo, Reimu Hakurei, and the flesh-eating youkai, Rumia, who wrapped her arms around the shrine maiden tightly.

"Hey, remember me, won't you Reimu? Don't disappoint me."

As the first rays of the sun hit her body, Rumia started to disappear, fading away into the light along with the darkness she had created.

"You... You're so stupid!"

Reimu burst into tears, which mingled with Rumia's own. The youkai only shook her head sadly, looking into Reimu's eyes with her own clouded ones.

"Yes, I am. But love makes any man stupid, and my love for your mother brought me to do this. For so long, she suffered, and this is the only right thing to do." She looked up at the clear sky. "I'm going to join you, at last..."

And with that, her voice faded away into the breeze, and Gensokyo wept for her. As she faded into nothingness, Rumia looked like an angel, departing blissfully into that final rest.
