(W/A) Hotaru Odagiri As an infant, Yuki Sakurai was abandoned by his mother, left in the bushes near an orphanage. The mystery of his parentage deepens when Yuki discovers he has a strange ability: when he touches others, he can feel their emotions. Because of his upbringing, the teenage Yuki strives to be independent so that he won't be a burden on those around him, but this attitude coupled with his powers can sometimes feel isolating. Little does he know that he has never really been alone. Someone has been watching him from the shadows ever since he was left in the buses all those years ago, but can Yuki trust the silver-eyed boy who claims to be his protector?

Despite finally learning more about the 'Sunset of the Underworld' a thousand years past, Yuki finds his thoughts returning once more to his former friend and current enemy Kanata. But while Yuki may be new to picking sides in a centuries-old war, it is nothing new to the Zweilt. And Kuroto and Senshirou, the new Zweilt pair Yuki has only just encountered, harbor a profound hatred for Opasts, swearing revenge on one in particular. What happened four years ago to inspire such loathing?

In the heat of battle against the Opast Elegy, Luka is stopped in his tracks when confronted by a vision of Yuki's former incarnation, his beloved. Upon hearing his lover tell him she still lives, will Luka let his consternation at this new development leave him exposed to the vicious attacks of an Opast scorned?

When Shuusei and Tooko drop off the radar while on a special mission to Kyoto, concern for their safety reaches a fever pitch at Twilight Hall. While preparing to rush to their rescue, Yuki and company are relieved to hear word of Tooko being found. Still, with no word from Shuusei, a party heads to Kyoto to locate their ally. But while they're away, the suspicious deaths around the city are confirmed to be the work of the Duras. Will the remaining Zweilt be able to confront the enemy and save the innocent with their forces severely depleted?
