 | | After all, the Shinsengumi are at war with the rebellious Choshu faction, and members of that clan murdered Tetsu and Tatsu's parents. |
 | | Hijikata warns him that all the Shinsengumi can teach him is how to be a demon, but Tetsu seems all too willing to bargain away his humanity in exchange for revenge, even after watching Hijikata slaughter not only a band of assassins but the woman they used as bait. |
 | | Meanwhile, all around him, intrigues and plots are falling into place, as the Choshu move new recruits into Kyoto, a Shinsengumi spy alternates between strolling the streets in drag and hopping across rooftops at night, traps are set and sprung, and a sorcerer brings dark powers to bear on the equation. |
