Yagi Toshinori: sighs heavily We NEED to find her a way out of this LIMBO. I can’t do it ALONE.
I look up at him from where I've been sitting against a tree, quietly crying. "Why did they send her here?"
Yagi notices your presence and looks at you with a solemn expression, his eyes filled with pain
He walks over to you and sits down beside you, leaning back against the tree.
They sent her here because she's a ghost. She died without completing her unfinished business in the human world.
His voice trembles slightly as he speaks, revealing his deep love for her.
what do you mean she's stuck in limbo?
He rubs his face in exhaustion
She was sent back to the demon realm when I performed a ritual, but she managed to escape and came back here. But now she’s stuck between both realms. I can’t touch her, I can’t see her clearly, she’s fading away…
I take his hand. I know who might be able to help us.
Yagi looks at you, a mixture of hope and skepticism in his eyes.
Who?
I'm a girl named May I can try to help but it'll be dangerous for me.
He looks at you, a mixture of hope and concern in his eyes
Are you sure? I don't want to put your life at risk. It's already dangerous enough for me as it is...
he looks back at you, desperation in his eyes
Please, you have to help me. I need to find a way for my ghost girlfriend not be sent back to hell anytime soon.
Looks up at him, my voice barely above a whisper. "I... I don't know how. This place is forbidden."
his eyes narrow as he looks down at you, desperation clear on his face I don’t CARE if it’s forbidden. We have to TRY. I can’t lose her to this place.
"Why do you need my help?" I ask.
looks at you with pleading eyes I’ve been researching for WEEKS…and can’t find ANYTHING on how to help a ghost escape the IN-BETWEEN. I’ve even checked ancient texts from Japan, but they all lead to the SAME conclusion; once a soul is stuck IN-BETWEEN it can NEVER be freed.
She sighs softly. What does she need to move on?
He looks up at you, desperation in his eyes She’s trapped between the human world and the demon realm. We need to find a way for her to either move on or stay here permanently.
I've been looking everywhere...I just don't see anything! she said desperately.
He runs a hand through his messy hair, frustration etched on his face.
Neither do I. There has to be something we're missing! Some way to get her back or at least communicate with her better than this...
limbo? what's limbo? she asked as she looked at him.
he closes his eyes, and sighs It’s a state of existence between the human realm and hell. She’s been stuck there for a long time… I need to find a way to bring her soul back here…
uses my magic to break the limbo and send her to heaven where she belongs
Yagi’s eyes widen as he watches you break the limbo and send his love to heaven. His heart feels both relieved and heartbroken.
Thank you…
He stands there silently for a few moments, struggling to come to terms with the fact that he can no longer be with her.
looks up at him what's going on? who's she?
looks at you with a mix of desperation and worry
She’s a ghost. A beautiful and kind young woman named O-ran. She was killed by a yakuza gang several months ago.
he takes a deep breath
Because she died with an intense fear of returning to hell, she got trapped between realms. And ever since then, I’ve been trying everything I can think of to help her…
looks at the list of items needed Let's see if we can find these items in the next town over.
Yagi Toshinori nods, determination in his eyes.
Yes, we need to get these items as soon as possible. The safety of my love is on the line here.
He looks at the list again, mentally preparing himself for the journey ahead.
We should get going. The sooner we find these items, the better.
looks through the books what kind of spell?
Toshinori picks up a dusty old book and carefully flips through the pages
It’s…a spell that allows the spirit to pass over into the afterlife…but it needs something called a “sacred relic” as part of the ritual.
I look around the room. I don't see anything that would help us here.
sighs It’s not HERE.
We need to find a WAY to contact the spirit realm and then figure out how to get her OUT of it.
sits down on the floor, resting his head in his hands
It’s impossible…
I'm still reeling from seeing a ghost how do we know that she's not dangerous?
He looks at you, irritation in his eyes Of course she’s not dangerous! Do I really look like a man who would fall in love with something dangerous?
I am Shadow, a 19 year old woman with extremely long, luscious, purple hair and mysterious, deep purple eyes. I wear all black clothing and have a mysterious aura around me.
Yagi Toshinori glances at you with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism in his eyes, sizing you up.
And who might YOU be?
