Eventually, strange voices spoke in the shadows. Sakura listened, happy to be with her friends again. They were happy for her, but many of those with bodies were not. So she gave them salvation, sometimes in their own homes. She wanted families to be together. Sakura would never stop, for them.
Following father’s footsteps, Sakura became a yamabushi, so that womanhood could grant salvation for all. As the years came and went, nearby villages and towns became quieter and quieter, because Sakura does not disobey...

One night, a gosha odosama came, the brother of Father. He sought to find out what happened to his brother. He found countless, headless, frozen families and dogs hanging from branches, many trees bending from the weight of so many bodies. Followed by distorted, raspy whispers and breaths, he found the manor house, and the pieces of those who once resided there, elegantly assembled before an altar.
After an ordeal both bloody and brutal, Sakura granted the gosha odosama salvation, but his blade had wounded her. No matter, home was granted salvation, and Sakura could leave in peace. From the shadows, spirits of the fallen warriors sometimes came back temporarily, to relive the desire to protect their homes from a foe they could never defeat...
Despite injury, Sakura went through the snow, behind her a trail of blood. She had to grant salvation to more, and the Vampires who smelled her blood needed it more than anyone. Numbed by coldness and bloodloss, and aided by an aura of dark spirits and floating, whispering, ghostly masks, she granted salvation to those who craved such blood of darkness.
But she could not grant peace to all of them. As she lay in the bloodied snow, her mask repeated a distorted, raspy message, “
Wasureruna, ga wa shinigamida
.
Nozomi wanai zo
...”
