9th : The insane v.s The pain

Golden :

"Do you know how to stop the curse?".. That's my first question after a long silence with her, i confused about her, really.. She has the bruise sign on her neck and she said it given by mio, but she said she is not mayu, though mayu is a part of her.. She looked at me and said; "there's a way, and that is what i want to show you now, what's wrong?? Is there something on my face?"..

" Umm.. Sorry.. I just confused, who are you exactly?".. She smiled again, well.. In truth, She smiled often.. "when the crimson ritual done, the twin who died become spirit in form of crimson butterfly, a fact that there's many crimson butterflies in the village is a prove that the ritual already caused so many victims.. The butterflies merged, including mayu's spirit, using this body as media, and became me".. I am thinking, trying to understand her words one by one.. "so that mean now Mery's body filled with many spirit??, including mayu??".. " well, you can say like that, "she replied me..

"Let me call you kupu then?".. "kupu?" she asked me confusedly.. "yup, kupu means butterfly in my country",.. "you can call me that if you like, we have to hurry, i want to show you..".. But she stop before she done her words, me too.. Feel something wrong.. The miasma.. It flowing around us.. Something is coming from behind.. she is.. Mio..

She stared at us.. Her eyes Full with hatred.. Kupu is in mayu's form, but she don't recognize it at all.. "Mio.. Its me.. Mayu.. Don't you remember me?, i.." ... Kupu didn't have a chance to done her words again.. It happened really fast. Maybe less than one second, mio already behind us.. She was teleported.. Ready to attack.. She touched me.. I feel that I am being sucked out from my body, i thought i would die soon.. But when i open my eyes, it's not me who being touched, its kupu.. She touched and choke kupu's neck.. Some crimson butterflies scattering from kupu's body.. the tattoo trying to move to her neck, but i quickly break the contact and pulled kupu away.. I decided to turn back and go to opposite way.. But when i just start running.. My body feel heavy, as like the miasma is thicken.. Something is coming again, it's slow but noisy.. The noise make me feel dizzy, its kusabi.. And behind him is the last twin shrine maiden.. A dried blood at her kimono and a rope
bruise at her neck, her face looked happy.. for a moment i thought she smiled at me but i wrong.. She smiled at mio.. " yae.. I know you will back for me"..
She is..

...
Sae kurosawa..

What i have to do?.. What i have to do?? I have to save kupu, her body belong to mery also.. But how?.. What i know is they want to kill each other.. and i just in their way.. "run.. To east side".. Kupu whispered.. "but there's no way out".. I told her.. "just run, there's a cave.. We have to go there".. Its better than standing here i thought.. I picked her up.. And move away to the east.. Fortunately both of the girl seems don't want to chase me.. After far enough, i turned back and see them for a while, Mio looked at kusabi, while sae laugh like a crazy person.. the miasma around Sae thicken and change into a blood mist.. Mio's tattoo become darker too and the silhouette appear again.. This time i really sure with my eyes.. If the tattooed priestess in the game covered by evil like skull.. Mio is covering by kei.. Kei amakura; Mio and Mayu's uncle.. Kei too, looked so evil covered by blue tattoo covering mio's whole body.. Mio teleport to the air.. she levitated..

Looks like kei who made it fly.. They ready to rush toward sae.. Kusabi too.. He looked ready to attack.."we have to run.. Their malice will crash each other, it's not safe here".. I realize kupu was right, i run.. As far as i can.. I hear a blast.. Blue and crimson miasma scatter everywhere while sae's laugh reechoing.. But i don't care.. I exceed the cave and run for 7 minutes i thought, my stamina is at limit, we arrived at a place that looks like a cemeteries, but the place is larger than the village's one, though only three grave lie there.. Think it back, i never see this place in a game..

More and more crimson butterfly separated from kupu's body, and she looked weaker as the butterfly gone one by one.. "kupu, are you ok?.. I am sorry.. I just too careless".. She smiled.. Smile?? Even in situation like this??.. "It's not your fault, even i surprised she will move so fast like that, this body rejecting me.. Mio's cursed touch make the body not balance anymore.. If i stay any longer, your friend will die".. "Mery will die??".. I surprised.. "can i do something for you?, i
will do anything, i already promised you that i will help you save mio, i don't want mery die also".. She stared at me long enough before said; you are right, you already promised, i have to go.. But i will leave mayu's soul in this body, mayu and your friend's soul have possibility to merge, but we have no choice.. Their personality will become one",. "wait.. Just wait.. What do you mean by merge?".. "i am sorry.. These 3 graves have the answer to stop the curse.. Please.. I beg you.. Save this village".. After said that, kupu shines brightly.. There's many crimson butterfly fluttering out.. And gone.. Nothing change with mery's body.. She still looked like mayu, the bruise on her neck still there.. I trying to wake her up.. But its no use.. She is sleeping.. I decided to let her sleep for a while.. The graves catch my attention now.. If i can find the answer to stop the curse.. I already promised.. I walk to the graves.. i will find the answer.. No matter
what..
