Once eternal life has taken it all away and your sins start catching up to you, you start wondering, what even was the purpose of all this rage? So pointless and harmful, but necessary to give you a sense of purpose.
I ask you now, phoenix, when that purpose leaves you, when you're nothing more than half an immortal heart for your own good, what will you do?

You move on, is what you answered me back then. And even so, after all this time, with your once broken heart now full of love and peace, you still feel empty. By killing the phoenix, you've tried to kill a part of yourself, but it will never leave you. You took the forbidden fruit, and now it will always be a part of you, no matter how fast you run, or what school you hide yourself in. No one can protect you from that feeling, the lust of pointless revenge and gruesome death.

Can Mokou and the phoenix really be one and the same?
