    Summary

    Oyuki notices her the moment she walks into the Red Crane Inn—a woman dressed in the colour of death, furs and a thick cape of straw guarding her from the icy winds of Teshio Ridge, dual katana on her belt. And on her head, she wore a wide-brimmed, black straw hat, worn from doubtless years of hard travel on the road.
    From her corner on the slightly raised platform, Oyuki carefully observes the newcomer as she is greeted by Ume, the inn’s owner. The edges of the hat prevent Oyuki from catching the details of the woman’s face, but she doesn’t need them to know that this is no ordinary traveller, or even mercenary. The tales of the onryō have travelled even as far as the frozen north. Quietly tuning her shamisen, Oyuki wonders if this is her chance to bring Dojun down at last.

    Ghost of Yotei through Oyuki's eyes, and what it means to find peace.

    Summary

    Atsu would’ve chuckled at the jab if she were in lighter spirits. But currently her mind wanders to just how lost she felt. When she first returned to Ezo, her goal was as clear as day, but after the Yōtei Six? After revenge? That future had always been murky. And truthfully, Atsu wasn’t certain she’d be alive to see it. But much like the direction of the wind, Atsu’s plans were always changing.

    Summary

    "Have you ever thought of having a family?"

    And Atsu had known when Jubei had asked the question that he was only focusing on one single iteration out of that doubt. She had not quite replied then, had not fully given an answer that was satisfactory enough. (...) Getting to accept one's internal needs was easier than accepting that one wanted to be alive, after all. And she had come, after so many wilted flowers and so many songs played with the shamisen and so many ghosts coming forth to her on nights that lowered the higher end of the sky far too much, that she wanted to live. To exist in the beyond Jubei's question had given shape to.

    Summary

    The poison brought back more than the night of the burning tree to Atsu.
    She should have killed Oyuki and taken that secret to her grave.
