The Shinsengumi have decided to retreat from Fushimi. Chizuru and Inoue Genzaburo have headed toward Yodo Castle to request reinforcements, but on their way there, Chizuru's father, Kodo, who had been missing, suddenly appears in their path. Their reunion moves Chizuru to tears. She asks him why he disappeared, and what he says in reply horrifies her. While Chizuru is still in shock, Kazama appears and tells her a cruel truth. She is stricken with despair, and just as she is about to kill herself, Hijikata arrives.
Don't go trying to throw your life away 
where I can't see you.
لا تحاولي أن ترمي بحياتكِ حيث لا أستطيع رؤيتك
Wirf dein Leben nicht an einem Ort weg,
an dem ich dich nicht sehen kann.
No desperdicies tu vida
donde no pueda verte.
No desperdicies tu vida
donde no pueda verte.
À peine je te laisse hors de ma vue
que tu veux te tuer ?
Non provare a gettare via la tua vita
dove non posso vedere.
Você está proibida de tirar a
 vida diante dos meus olhos.
Не смей лишать себя жизни
там, где я тебя не вижу.
