There. I've dissolved the barrier, as you asked of me, Priestess. You say you wanted to lay me to rest, and dissolve the barrier around Mount Hakurei, did you not? However... I was buried alive, and now my soul is filled with anger and hatred. I fear it cannot be saved.
You are wrong. I never said that I had the ability to save your soul from the darkness.
Huh?
But, I do want you to tell me... what is it, that makes you so unbearably sad?
Sad, you say?
Even though I touch your very soul, I cannot feel the hatred and bitterness you speak of.
(to Hakushin) Hate them. It's all right for you to hate them. Hate them all, the humans of this world.
But, I...
The tears you shed were not tears of hatred toward humans and their world.
...Yes. You're right. I wanted to die an admirable death, as a saint. But, it was not to be. I did not want to admit... my own weakness. So, I cried in despair, over the weakness of my own heart.
How painful it must have been.
Yes. It was painful.
You have done more than enough good in this world. So, please... let your soul become free.
...Is that all right?
(gently) Yes. It's all right.
(thinking) There is not one person in this world who never feels lost, who has never sinned in life. Those who try to be forever divine, those who try to be forever kind, and even those who are tainted by evil. Everyone wishes to be saved.
(thinking) Isn't that right, Kansuke? He has found peace.
Mount Hakurei! The barrier... it's been dissolved?
