Reco: Aki, are you okay?!

The young boy sustained injury. His name: Aki.

His conscience runs through the mind of the approaching Reco

Aki: The Levi-Sense given off by the Koujuu is poison to humans.

Reco: ...

Aki: That night when you were lost, it was already too late by the time I had met you. You had been poisoned.

That bracelet, it's crystalized Levi-Sense. That's why you were able to live in the village.

Reco: This ?

"Aki was wearing that bracelet the day when Reco was lost in the forest"

Aki: It will take some more time for humans to live amongst the Levi-Sense. That's why I asked the Koujuu to wait a short while before going to the village.

Aki: My power has reached it's limit. Now, I must ask something of you.

Reco: Aki!

Reco knew Aki's life force was becoming weaker and weaker, as if he was a puppet who's strings were being cut one at a time.

Reco was aware from the time he gave her the hair band... that she would be the one that would have to face the Koujuu.

Aki: It's okay, Reco... you'll be able to face them.

Not able to return to the village.
Having her life turned upside down.
She didn't care about anything like that.

But, she wept for not being able to see Aki again...
even though she knew she would be protected by Aki, who vanished into a cloud of Levi-Sense.

-Don't cry. We'll always be together-
