*Chapter 2, Part 3*
_Szaka's peril has passed. Kagachi agonizes over his powerlessness in the now eerily quiet Minob Plaza. A teeming mass of Lost Souls stare at him in silence. Kagachi heads Beyond the Veil to settle things with the dead._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Enduring the resentful cries of the Lost, Kagachi speaks to them of his resolve. No matter how much he is reviled, he will never give up. He will endure any burden, any sin, as long as it brings hope back to the people of the realm. And when that day comes, he will send them on their way. His words reach a young Lost boy, who tells him of his regrets and begs him to free his pet dog. Kagachi heads to the boy's house to fulfill his duty as Watcher._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Arriving at the boy's home, Kagachi struggles with how to carry out his responsibilities as Watcher and save the Lost. Moments after he makes his decision, a messenger from Lobelia arrives to summon him to the palace._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_In the throne room, Lobelia reveals the truth about the Night Devil. The Night Devil's real identity is Soju—the brother of the last sovereign. Exiled from the palace simply because he was the reigning ruler's twin, he eventually settled in a village beyond Ophay Forest. Kagachi makes for this town to discover the Night Devil's origin, and hopefully find a way to stop it._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Kagachi journeys through Ophay Forest in search of the town where Soju—the Night Devil—grew up. On his way, he meets a Lost boy. The boy seeks to leave the forest, and Kagachi agrees to see him to its edge so he can send him off._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Although he is a Lost Soul, it seems the boy still doesn't realize that he's dead. Kagachi reveals the truth and urges the boy to pass through the Veil. But the boy refuses to accept his death and soon becomes a Fallen. Kagachi's heart aches for the boy and his decades of lonely wandering in the forest. Linne offers Kagachi words of comfort. If they can make it through this forest, they'll find Soju's village. Kagachi and Linne push onwards._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Kagachi and Linne make it out of Ophay Forest and find Soju's village. The place is in ruins, and there's not a soul in sight. When they reach the town square, they finally come across another person. Kagachi makes contact with this old man in hopes of learning something._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Despite seeming to have known Soju when he was a boy, no information on the Night Devil's origin was forthcoming from the old man. Kagachi searches the village for further clues._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Kagachi searches the village but is left empty- handed. Suddenly, he hears the howl of Fallen from the town square. He hurries back to find the old man fighting for his life. Kagachi leaps to the old man's aid, but his wounds are mortal. With his life fading, the old man catches the scent of linnaea flowers in the air and recalls Soju. There's some connection between Soju's past and linnaea. With the old man's words as his guide, Kagachi sets off to find the flowers that should be blossoming nearby._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Kagachi finds a lonely patch of linnaea flowers near the village. Strangely, the blossoms seem to form a path... Kagachi and Linne follow the flowers deeper into the forest._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_In the forest, Kagachi and Linne see a vision: a young boy and girl exchanging a promise in a field of flowers. Kagachi snaps back to his senses, and Linne tells him that her memories have come back. In a quiet voice, she reveals the truth... Soju perished long ago, his soul to one day be reborn... At least, that was what was supposed to happen. Instead, his soul split in two: one half forming the avatar of hatred known as the Night Devil, and the other half Kagachi. The two once shared a soul and a destiny. Kagachi's resolve to save the Night Devil's soul is renewed, and he sets off into the forest._
━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━
_Kagachi emerges from the forest into a beautiful field of flowers, and finally comes face-to-face with the Night Devil. Accepting his fate, he confronts the wandering spirit. The two opponents are evenly matched at first, but Kagachi slowly gains the upper hand. Just when the battle seems won, the Night Devil possesses Kagachi. Linne screams, but Kagachi merely smiles. This is the chance he was waiting for. Meaning to finish it once and for all, Kagachi thrusts his dagger through both his and the Night Devil's bodies with his last ounce of strength. This is the only way to reunite them into Soju..._
