I was this close to bringing out the expired "poison" tea, you know? The pickled plums were also meant as a garnish for bitter memories.

You mean literal poison, don't you? And you even used that riddle to get the first strike on me...!

Ah...

It vanished...?

They passed on... Might've reincarnated already...

And you're always watching this happen?

My... Did I slip you the poison after all?

The ones being watched...

are us,(ghosts and Hourai) don't you think?

But remember. Even if you don't rot, if you get too complacent...
