Yuuki is on the ground nearby, clutching his chest. The collar around his neck (the Slave mark) is sparking with purple energy. He sees a vision—a flash of a memory from the last chapter: The captured Onmyou Agency operative whispering something to him: "The true enemy is not the Shuuki... it's the Peach itself."

A small, black-and-white sketch at the bottom corner. Yuuki, lying unconscious in a dark void, reaching out his hand. And someone else's hand—smaller, feminine, with cracked nails—reaching back. A silhouette that looks like... his missing sister, Aoba.

"Interesting. But void consumes all."

"I know. He's already here."
