016. [Video.]
[The video is fuzzy and full of static until a gloved hand adjusts to straighten the screen out, focusing on Hokuto's face. Her expression is far more serious than she's ever looked, and she sits back, stripping the gloves off.]
It's Sei-chan.
[She lifts up her hands to show the backs of them, large white pentagrams marking the skin.]
He did this.
[She's in her shikifuku, the large white beads around her neck clicking gently as she moves. She closes her eyes for a moment in sorrow, but when she opens them the emotion swirling within is anger.]
Subaru doesn't want me to go, but he tried to break my arm. He lost his eye for me then he tried to break my arm. I think he's lying about losing this whole bet thing, and I'm not going to let him just leave like this. He played with Subaru for a year, he played with me for my entire life, and I'm not going to let him think the Sumeragi clan is so weak.
Obaa-chan thinks this is suicide. Let her. I'd rather kill myself fighting the Sakurazukamori than living my life in fear.
[She runs her fingers over the stars before leaning over and turning the video off.]
