[ The haunts, in the end, had tried to lead him to the river to drown. Chijoku has had no luck in pushing his way into taking control of Majima's body, the haunts have ensnared his flesh thoroughly. In the water though, the uwabami has other powers to work with. He lets Majima sink just enough to see the haunts on their way, and then uses the waters of the Sanzu to push their body back to shore. That is as far as they make it and Chijoku instead uses the rest of his tricks to keep Majima from dying of cold while they wait. The mud on the banks helps, a little. Majima's body sinks down in to it as the waves recede, and the mud is pushed up higher around him when the waves return.
That is how Azem will find him on the banks of the river, pale white scales and muddied hair sticking out along the shoreline. He looks pale enough to be dead, but he's still breathing. ]
