11

Makoto discovers Hikari at the temple and learns her past after expressing his desire for universal happiness. Hikari reveals she was once a normal priestess who burned the temple to stop a ritual sacrifice. She attempted to kill her brother, the man responsible, only to learn he was freed from a curse while she was forced to assume it. Consequently, she has been killing people to protect the town ever since. Despite this revelation, Makoto maintains his belief that everyone can be happy. He follows Hikari as she flees and begs him to save her. She then jumps from a cliff edge, prompting Makoto to leap after her in an attempt to catch her.
