Why would you do this to me.
Ui is busy fighting three of Tsukiyama’s bodyguards all at once, but he still spies on Hairu across the yard. She’s battling that lady bodyguard, Tsukiyama’s knight, the one with the nasty koukaku.
And just when Ui has knocked down the last bodyguard, he’s pleased to see that Hairu is holding her own.
And then – she slips.
The Knight impales her abdomen.
Ui screams, but Hairu draws T-human and fires lighting at the Knight. She stumbles back.
He’s running but not fast enough. Another bodyguard jumps in and – just like that – Hairu’s head falls.
Ui’s scream can never be shrill enough, angry enough, painful enough. He screams until he wishes he were dead, and the ghouls wish they were dead.
Before leaving the scene, Matsumae watches the black-haired investigator strike Mairo’s head over and over. So he, too, is motivated by emotion.
The investigator wails again, checking for a pulse on a decapitated body.
Matsumae feels a twinge of – well – for just a moment – she wishes she hadn’t killed the investigator.
