Sei Shigeru and Tarou Sakagami's argument had reached a stalemate. About ten minutes later, someone scampered anxiously up the mountain, her voice loudly announcing her arrival before anyone could even see her.
"Ryou… Ryouhei… Why are you still here? Yuuta… Yuuta is dead!" Her voice was filled with intense grief and despair. Under the pitch-black night sky, her cry was so piercingly shrill and inconsolable.
Everyone's heart sank when they heard the upsetting news, especially a villager named Ryouhei. He trembled in shock and muttered in disbelief, "How… How did it happen? How?" Then, he turned his head around and looked at his wife. Obviously shaken, he immediately grabbed her hand with so much force that the veins in his arm popped out and hurriedly said, "G-Go home!"
