送り提灯

The curse echo of The Beckoning Light. Curse: Kills, by means of the curse they possess, one who has become a curse bearer. Its curse bearer is Mayu Chozawa, but it is relinquished to Tetsuo Tsutsumi. Resentful Memory: A vague silhouette is framed by silvery moonlight near the bridge. It is a man, hunched over, near death, with regret carved on his face. Visions of the past flash through his mind... Memories of the young couple and their daughter... But he has lost everything. He had repaid the kindness shown to him with evil. Though regret gnaws at him now, it is too late to undo it. His mind turns to the onmyoji woman. It was all her doing. No, the blame laid with him and his inexperience. He had foolishly involved himself with the forbidden, inviting evil into his life. "I should have left the Rite of Resurrection well enough alone..." The light of the man's life begins to fade as regret and anger wash over him in turns. "If only I had accomplished it in the end. Alas, it's too late for that now. I am prepared for hell... Perhaps in another life I can fulfill my dreams. Even if this body perishes, I can atone for my sins..."
