Shōji refuses to believe that Masaru's mind has not been taken over by Sadayoshi and Masaru is forced to drink Shōji's blood which contains his memories. Suddenly, Masaru begins to recall how many years ago, Shōji was learning swordsmanship at Miura Dojo in Nagasaki while also studying to be a doctor under Dr. Bai Yin. Together they completed a marionette which Shōji named a Shirogane. While treating a sick Mr. Nakayama, Shōji encountered a woman who intervened and took over. She was called Tohno-dayu, although her real name was Angelina. By accident, she revealed that she had Bai Yin's marionette, Arlequin, when she enabled Shōji to escape from a burning building. Later, Shōji tracked her down, where she told him about her past and the vial of Aqua Vitae which was given to her. Realizing that he was in love with her, Shōji drank the liquid, vowing to spend eternity with her. (Source: Wikipedia)
