Tokimori Hazama overhears his Ayakashi companions discussing the death of Princess Tsukikage (as well as possibly eating her and her child) and leaves in disgust. Tsukikage's ghost appears to him, but says nothing. Hazama tells her of his plan to grant their child power. He also accepts responsibility for causing her death and offers to let her curse him. Tsukikage continues to appear to him repeatedly, finally telling him to return to the castle.
