Corpses. Mountains of them, fresh-killed, ready for scavengers, maggots, rot.

Hei always found something unsettling over massacre. Murder was terrible enough, and it caused a lot of grief and heartbreak.

But what of all the souls of those who died under the same circumstances at approximately the same time gathered together? There was something painful about that. Something that all but rent the atmosphere with heavy, heavy grief.

And he's seen many massacres. Heaven's Gate, his sister's work. Azusa's work, even, that girl who had been betrayed by love.

But somehow the massacre Yin makes is worse.

Bai—no, Xing's massacre was terrible, it was true. His sister. It haunted him many years later, her innocent smile surrounded by dead.

Even so, Yin's was terrible, because the corpses at her feet killed themselves. Because she didn't enjoy it and it was for him and it didn't disgust her and there was something wrong about a perfectly placid face after a massacre, it was terrible.


It's been a while? I'm psyched for the next OVA, is all. Who isn't?
