I can't wait to start reading the conclusion! This short story sets up things nicely (well, "nicely") for Smoke in the Sun. As you can imagine, Ōkami is not a happy camper, not with being captured, not with his friends dead, not with Mariko agreeing to marry her fiance, Prince Raiden. It's basically one scene that is shared Ōkami's POV, and he reflects on many different things. This short story takes place immediately after the ending of Flame in the Mist, with Ōkami being captured by Prince Raiden and Kenshin, and Mariko also sacrificing herself and going with them. But I can't complain because (1) it was $0.00 and (2) it's all about Ōkami. This is going to be super short because this short story was super short! Like maybe a chapter's worth of content or less. But he decides if his life is the cost of love, it may not be too high a price after all. For he will surely be killed when he arrives in the Imperial City. For someone who doesn’t believe in heroes, it’s a surprising choice: to trade his life for the lives of his friends and the one he loves.
