As he passes through the gate, Hizuki Momoi muses on what it means to fulfill his own will. He compares the wisdom of the rainbow koi to that of the god Uroboros, and wonders how he can meet him. Sou tells him that he is so happy that he found him, because he thought of him when he was fighting in the Boshin war. He remembers how Fu and Sou called to him, and asks why maria made him fight in the first place, and then why he fought against moma in the second place. He wonders what good and evil are in the world, and decides that he must cut his own path using his sword.
