All at once, the rains cease.

The damage remains, both to the city and to her inhabitants, but reality reasserts itself, and the ill wind that's blown through Jigoku-cho has—for now—come to an end.

Emergency services have borne away the injured, including the Daitengu and the freed Enma, leaving a gaggle of people emerging into the night.


[This is an OPEN IC MINGLE. Go forth and icly rubberneck or speculate or collect your friends back home to get some rest or yell at said friends for taking risks without telling them they were chosen for this mission out of some misguided attempt to get them to not worry. Who would do something so stupid, anyway.]

[ Something he couldn't even look at? Lio was having trouble imagining what that was like, but there was nothing about Minato's way of describing it that seemed insincere or overly figurative. He was telling the truth, that was for certain... ]

It's thanks to that incense you could even survive up there, I'll bet. But yeah, as far as I can tell, the city's been cleansed... mostly, anyways.

[At that news, he lets out all the air in his lungs, leaning against the building. It's not that he didn't think the faction leaders (well... at least Toraguma and the Daitengu; and presumably Lady Tenkohime with the rest of the support) would have dispersed if they didn't believe the heart of the curse had been dispelled, but... It was really over.]

The incense and Knightley. He stood up to that thing like it was nothing. I think if he hadn't, we wouldn't have had the courage to keep going.

[Sorry Cain you have been sold out in the name of an innocent compliment]

...what do you think happens now?

[ganashara]

[ He'd definitely scold Cain later, for what little good it would do him. But he also wasn't surprised to hear that guy pulled something off like that. It was so very him. Annoying, but... really admirable, too. A complete idiot, but a noble one... he couldn't help but be drawn to that.

As for everything else... ]

We heal.

[ What else could they do? ]
