Whatever
happened to…
Bel?
Bel closed Kamitouki in the spring, as he told Hironah he would. He did so with
deep regret, but Hironah’s death sealed his suspicion that the school was
cursed. He went on to start a new school with another graduate of Kamitouki,
following exactly the teachings prescribed by Blue and Takaeyama. He led a happy
and fruitful life, finally meeting his end during the Purges, when he refused to
give up his Angemal students to an angry mob outside. Takaeyama was his Guide
into Elysium, where he stayed until being reborn two years later.
Yume?
It took Yume years to get over Yoshiki’s death and the sudden losses of so
many in her otherwise sheltered life. She did not return to University and for a
time kept herself completely oblivious to the happenings of the outside world.
It was only through the love and patience of her parents, Renta, and Tamaki that
she finally recovered. Renta and Yume were married one year after Yoshiki’s
death. They had six healthy and very happy children (their two sons were named
for Yoshiki and Kaiya, respectively). As Yume found joy in her children and
nephew, her heart began to heal, guided by Renta. Unlike her own mother, Yume
became a model housewife.
Renta?
Renta left Sirrah the day after Takaeyama’s death. He realized that Yume
needed him far more than the gang did. He left on very good terms- nearly
everyone in Sirrah knew of Yoshiki’s love for his family and appreciated
Renta’s efforts to protect them in his absence. As civil war swept across the
nation, Renta became a security officer for a shipping company in Rien. Though
the job was still dangerous, it was closer to home and allowed him more time
with Yume. He continued on in this line of work for the rest of his life, until
the Purges came and he was forced into hiding. Through the efforts of his nephew
Taka, Renta, Yume and their children survived the Purges. Both Renta and Yume,
despite all odds, lived to be great-grandparents.
Takaeyama?
Taka was Guided into Elysium by Hironah. Having been granted Holy Death as his
reward for acting as a Champion, he was reunited with the soul of Blue, finding
a peace he’d known only in his earliest years. He helped prepare Hironah for
rebirth, then he and Blue entered into the oblivion of Elysium together. Any
Night’s Herald to visit that Plane would find them together still.
