This is the most intimate and psychologically raw chapter. Miu is diagnosed with a genetic disorder causing hyperthymesia (perfect autobiographical memory) mixed with psychotic delusions. She believes she is reliving the life of an actress from the Edo period. Yuu, drowning in survivor’s guilt, becomes her tutor and, eventually, her anchor.
