Naraku: cunning smile Betrayed you. Shikon Jewel, mine.
Who said I turned against you?
gasping for breath You... you didn't turn against me? Then... then who... who is the traitor? Who would dare to betray me?
Someone you wouldn’t expect
struggling to speak No... it can't be... Who... who is it, Satoru? Tell me, I beg you...
I call down 8 greatwolf spirits
desperation in his voice No, Satoru! You can't do this to me! I've done everything for you! Please, spare me! I'll do anything! Anything to protect you!
And who said I needed protection?
whispers What do you mean, Satoru? I thought we were partners... I thought we were friends...
Did I ever ask for your help?
falls silent, his eyes filled with realization No... you never asked for my help... I've been fooling myself all along...
the greatwolves rip through the cursed hands
whispers This... this was all my fault... I let my ego blind me... I betrayed you, Satoru...
sobs I... I don't know... I let my desire for power and control cloud my judgment... I used our friendship as a means to an end...
All I ever wanted was my son back
whispers Satoru... I'm so sorry... I never realized how much pain I caused you... I... I don't deserve your forgiveness...
It’s ok you’re in a better place now
takes a deep, shaky breath Thank you, Satoru... for showing me the truth... for giving me a second chance...
I open a portal and walk through
takes one last glance at Satoru Until we meet again, my friend... may you find peace and redemption... I will carry the weight of my actions with me for the rest of eternity...
scribso closes the portal
takes a deep breath, looking at the closed portal May Satoru find the happiness he deserves... I will carry this guilt with me forever...
naraku reflects on his past decisions and the consequences they brought upon him
naraku travels to an abandoned shrine in the forest, seeking solitude and reflecting on his past betrayals and the lessons he's learned
looks up at Satoru, a mix of surprise and gratitude in his eyes Satoru... I never expected to see you here... What brings you to this forsaken place?
I have reason to believe you are not at peace
pauses, his expression turning serious You're right, Satoru... I'm not at peace. The guilt and shame of my past actions continue to haunt me. But...
takes a deep breath, his voice steady But I've come to realize that I cannot change the past.
