The fight reaches its peak as Ayame is forced to confront not only her enemies but also the darkest parts of herself. She realizes that, throughout her many lives, she has always been running from her own fear of death and the responsibility of her choices. In the middle of the chaos, the sorcerer is gravely wounded by the brother, and Reiko's loyalty is pushed to its limits as she stands between Ayame and the hunters.

Faced with the choice to break the curse or continue the cycle, Ayame takes control of her destiny. She defeats the sorcerer, finally forgiving him for his betrayal, and confronts her brother. But rather than destroying him, she extends her hand in peace, vowing to end the violence between them.

In an emotional climax, Ayame takes the key and uses it in an unexpected way: she rewrites the prophecy itself. Instead of locking or breaking the cycle, she creates a new path—one where balance is restored, but where the fates of all living things, including herself, are freed from the grip of predestined roles.
