Chapter 1: Act 3: Scene 2


 * I don't know why Kayo began saying such things. I thought you did something to Kayo's mind but the result doesn't seem to pan out.


 * Still, [that event certainly began her talking as if her husband was still around].
 * --It was shortly after you had exchanged bodies with her.
 * That day, Kayo wasn't working for the first time in a while and just casually strolling outside.
 * She probably wanted to look around at Enbizaka since its recovery from the fire.
 * [Space]


 * Essentially, the narrator describes that there are lots of different hair colors that can be seen in the business-heavy Enbizaka, few having black hair indicative of pure Jakokuese, so Kayo having pink hair wasn't odd.


 * The prime example of foreign culture in Enbizaka would be the foreign trading houses lined along the slope.


 * There were many representatives of firms that were trading with Jakoku that had settled there, including the Freezis and Yarera-Zusco.

Not done.
 * A little ways from the trading houses are Enbizaka's executiong grounds.
 * The narrator suggests that this was Onigashima's way of warning those nearby, since foreign crime would have naturally increased now. Natives would be executed there even now but that is far off for Kayo.
 * Going down the hill, Kayo serenely looked at the revitalized neighborhood from four years ago.
 * At the bottom of the hill was a twin arched bridge. Crossing it lead to the central street and the Miroku shop was along that road. Since it's the only bridge connecting Enbizaka to the main road, it was a high traffic area.
 * After stepping onto the bridge, Kayo suddenly stopped moving.
 * Her eyes widened and she stared at the man with blue hair ahead of her on the bridge.
 * The man was, at that moment, leaning on the railing of the bridge while dazing at the river, unaware he was in Kayo's line of sight.
 * Kayo: "A...... aaaah......"
 * While she gaped at him, she didn't stand there like that for long.
 * The man quickly began walking the opposite direction of Kayo's location.
 * Kayo tried going after the man in a hurry but his figure soon disappeared, buried in the crowd.
 * Kayo stopped her foot regretfully and murmurred such.
 * Kayo: "He's--alive."
 * Kayo saw the visage of her late husband in that stranger--that's what I thought at that moment.
 * Since that event, Kayo began to go around talking like her husband was still alive.
 * But...... as far as I could tell, that man didn't look anything like her husband.
 * If I dared make a commonality between them, the man did have the same kind of burn scar on the back of his left hand as Kayo's husband.
