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.
but today, the light of the sun 
stings my eyes more than before.
لكن اليوم، ضوء الشّمس يلدغ عينَي
أكثر من أيّ وقت سبق
doch heute sticht das Sonnenlicht
so in meinen Augen.
pero hoy el sol me hace más daño
en los ojos que de costumbre.
pero hoy el sol me hace más daño
en los ojos que de costumbre.
pour une fois,
ma oggi la luce del sole
mi brucia gli occhi più del solito.
Mas hoje, a luz do sol está ardendo
 nos meus olhos mais que o normal...
но сегодня солнце режет
глаза больше прежнего.
