Using the power of the mirror of the netherworld, Ki and Keika succeed in seeing Shouken's memories. Through his memories we learn of Shouken's history and how he came to the Tanmoku family. Ki is also able to ascertain that the reason for all of Shouken's actions while he was his bodyguard and a critical conversation between Shouken and his brother Sekijin is overheard.
Time quietly flows as I grasp the string in my hand
Die Zeit läuft langsam, wenn ich die Schnur halte
El tiempo pasa en silencio
mientras sostengo el hilo.
El tiempo pasa en silencio
mientras sostengo el hilo.
Le temps s’écoule doucement,
je serre la ficelle dans ma main
Il tempo scorre lentamente
 mentre afferro il filo con le dita
O tempo flui enquanto
seguro a corda com a mão.
