Shinichi: "Don't worry sweetheart. I will never die... I can't die in a
place like this!!"
Sari: "..."
Shinichi: "Believe me..."
Sari: "Shinichi... I'm so glad..."
Rustle, Rustle... Without the wind, Sari's hair starts to Move to. Sari,
now showing her real self as an evil spirit, approaches me. I watch her
like I am day dreaming. She hugs me gently just like a mother giving
her baby milk, then sinks her fangs into my throat. I feel no pain. I
feel my blood entering her body, mixing with her essence. I am caught
in a whirlpool that is our lives. I am swallowed by the haze and lose
consciousness...
???: "... Shinichi..."
Somebody calls my name. I slowly open my eyes. It is dazzlingly
bright in here.
Shinichi: (Morning...)
The dew on the garden bushes gleam in the morning sunlight. And the
women looking at me is...
Shinichi: "... Sari?"
"She smiles softly."
Sari: "Thank you, Shinichi..."
Shinichi: "You look pretty."
Sari: "Pardon?"
Shinichi: "You always looked pretty even as an evil spirit, but you look
more beautiful as a human being."
Sari: "..."
Three years later...
Sari gives birth to a son, and I am a father.
Shinichi: "He is starting to look like a man now... He looked just like a
monkey when he was born."
Sari: "Oh, no... he has always looked like an angel ever since the day
he was born. He is our son, honey!"
Shinichi: "..."
... I guess every child must look like an angel to his or her
parents.
Shinichi: "He's got your eyes."
Sari: "He's got your mouth... look."
Shinichi: "Now that we have a child, I have to work even harder!"
Sari: "I'm sure you can do it, Shinichi."
Sari smiles.
Sari: "Shinichi, I am so happy. I've never dreamed of holding my own
child like this. It is just like a dream!"
Looking at Sari being so happy gives me strength. It has always been
like this, and I guess it will never change.
----------
As a Devil
----------
Sari: "Shinichi, what's the matter with you? You look serious."
Shinichi: "I... I want to live with you."
Sari: "No.... That's impossible! I'm an evil spirit now."
Shinichi: "Nothing is impossible. There is a way... I want you to make me
the same thing you have become."
Sari: "Oh, no... I can't..."
Shinichi: "Please, Sari."
Sari: "Are you really sure? Do you really...?"
I Look directly into Sari's eye's and nod.
Sari: "Shinichi!"
Rustle, rustle... Without the wind, Sari's hair starts to Move to. Sari,
now showing her real self as an evil spirit, approaches me. I watch her
like I am day dreaming. She hugs me gently like a mother giving her
baby milk, then sinks her fangs into my throat. I feel no pain. I feel
my blood entering her body, at the same time her spirit enters me. I
feel an overwhelming urge to suck her blood. I sank my fangs into her
white neck.
Sari: "Ahhhhh!"
Sari cries sweetly. The taste of her spirit fills my mouth. Sari and I
suck each other, and give ourselves completely to each other. I felt
enormous energy like I have never experienced before, filling up my
body.
Sari: "Can you feel it, Shinichi...?"
Shinichi: "Yes..."
Sari: "Now we are the same... Our lives are united... we are two but
unified."
Shinichi: "I know... I feel it, Sari."
Neither Sari and I will ever feel hunger again. We don't need to search
for our next victims while feeling guilty again. We can live together by
giving to each other. Our exchange our life essences with each other to
keep living forever. Yes, forever...
When people came to the Mansion of illusion, they will see two flowers
in the garden side by side. And at night, they will see two lovers
whispering words of love in the garden under the moonlight.

Arisa's Ending
--------------
I open the door to Arisa's Room. It looks dark and quiet.
Shinichi: "Arisa...?"
I lit the light, but no one was there. I look down to the floor to
find a children's book left open. Arisa's favorite doll lies on top
of it. It made me sad to see it.
Shinichi: (Arisa... I came to get you and escape from here... where are
you?)
I was standing there at a loss when I heard the voice of the Mistress
of the Mansion behind me.
Mistress: "Mr. Shinichi, I think Arisa is afraid..."
Shinichi: "Afraid of what?"
Mistress: "To go back to the world of being human."
Shinichi: "Nonsense! She wanted to realize herself into a real being so
much. Why be afraid?"
Mistress: "She wants it as long as she is inside this Mansion because
this place exists beyond time and space, far away from the people's
world. She was not afraid then. But the place where you are taking
her is totally different."
Mistress: "In people's world, she thinks that there is nothing that
doesn't change. She is feeling insecure... and scared. So she run away
into the children's picture book."
When I look into the book, I found Arisa there smiling at me.
Now you have two possible
ways to spend the rest of
your life with Arisa:
Take her back
or
Leave her where she is
------------------------------
If you choose to take her back
------------------------------
Shinichi: "I want to take her back. What can I do?"
Mistress: "I am like the moon... if you give me power, I can send you
into Arisa's Mind."
Shinichi: "Yes, please do so."
Mistress: "Alright, then, leave your hand on me and close your eyes..."
".............................."
Shinichi: (Is she inside Arisa's mind?)
I keep running looking for Arisa in darkness without a light.
Shinichi: "Arisa!! Answer me!!"
A blurred image of Arisa appears in front of me.
Arisa: "Brother!"
Shinichi: "Arisa..."
Shinichi: "Arisa, I came to take you back. Come with me!"
Arisa: "Brother... I am afraid, so afraid."
Shinichi: "Arisa... are you afraid of the things that change? But think
about it, baby. Not all changes are bad. Time can't be stopped, but
we can change it for the better, can't we?"
Arisa: "........"
Shinichi: "Arisa... be brave... and trust me."
Arisa: "Yeah... but..."
Shinichi: "You don't mind if you can't see me any more?"
Arisa: "No!"
Shinichi: "Come with me, then!"
Arisa: "Brother..."
Arisa takes my hand!! I find myself in the Room I was before. The
Mistress of the Mansion held Arisa up. She looks like she is asleep.
Shinichi: "Arisa?"
Mistress: "Don't worry, Mr. Shinichi. She was born again."
Shinichi: "What?"
Mistress: She use to be an image of thoughts, now she was embodied as
a human being."
Shinichi: "Really? Did you do it?"
Mistress: "I have just borrowed your power..."
Shinichi: "Thank you very much."
