Soon after Sae put her journal up, her father came in and told her that it was time. She sighed quickly and stood up. Her white kimono was wrinkled and she straightened it.

Her father took her down the roads and to the place where the ceremony was to be held. She walked slower. Her father knew that she didn't want to go through it without Yae, but she didn't have a choice. Sae looked up at her father and asked,

"Why did Yae and I have to do it?"

"Because Itsuki and Mitsuki's failed. Should have known. They were queer anyway." her father replied. Sae was filled with anger.

"Itsuki and his brother weren't queer! Itsuki doesn't know why theirs failed! Just leave him alone about it!" Sae piped up. Her father sighed and rolled his eyes.

"His ritual was a failure, now get that through your head." he said forcefully. Sae didn't say anything else. She only looked to the sky and thought about Itsuki.

'Itsuki, I'm so sorry.' her thoughts said over and over.

As they walked, a small child crossed their path.

"Hey, watch where you are going. We have a ritual to go to." her father said. The little figure turned toward them and pointed at Sae.

"It's going to fail." it said lowly and went away. Her father looked at her, grabbed her wrist and pulled her along. She was looking at where the child had been.

When they finally got to the place where it was to happen, her father left her there.

"I'm not going to walk in with you now. You are strong enough to take this on by yourself." he said and walked away.

"But what if I can't do it by myself?" Sae asked lowly. She shrugged the feeling off and went inside. She was strong enough to do it. She walked into the cave slowly and listened. The slight clanging of the priests' staff was what she followed. She swallowed the lump in her throat and continued walking.

When she got to a clearing, she saw many priest circled around something. As she pushed her way though the crowd, she saw that it was something to hold up a noose. She gasped and tried to leave. Like she could go far. One of the priests closest to her pushed her back. She looked at him and turned away. She didn't want to see the kanji symbols on the veils.

"It's time Miss Sae." a voice said. One of the main priests led her to the noose. He didn't say anything, but she knew what she had to do. She stepped on the small platform and a priest placed the noosed around her neck.

"I suppose you know what to do." he said. she nodded and looked blankly into the black space. She slowly stepped of the platform and that was all she remembered.

The Mourners made their way though the crowd of priest and took the limp body of Sae off the noose and carried her to the Abyss. Once there, they threw her in and waited. Her father was there by now and he was the one that would judge whether or not the ritual passed or failed. They waited and waited, but no butterfly came out.

"It had failed. We are next." her father said.

A huge force came from the Abyss and made everyone fall to the ground. The ritual truly had failed. Now, they were to witness Repentance and more than likely die within it.
