With the Watcher's revelation weighing heavily on her, Ayame retreats into the depths of her fragmented memories. In this chapter, she explores her earliest past lives, unlocking painful truths about the many lives she has lived and the people she has impacted across time. She remembers falling in love with the sorcerer in one life, only for him to betray her out of fear of her power. She recalls Reiko's life as an ally in a distant war, where they fought side by side, only for Ayame to sacrifice her friend to continue the cycle.

Torn between regret and the need for closure, Ayame begins to realize that her curse is not just her burden, but the consequence of decisions she has made across lifetimes. This forces her to question if she is truly capable of changing her fate, or if she is forever bound to a loop of her own making.
