► Saving Setsuna's dumb ass when he thinks a ghoul is Sara and nearly lets it kill him. (Chapter 24, Pages 5-8 and Pages 17-22)

What Happens:

Setsuna: "I thought I heard a ghoul's screams deep within the forest... Katou-chan sempai!"

Katou: "I can hear that myself, kouhai oda Mudou-kun!"

• Setsuna shoots Katou a smirk while Katou glares at him.

Katou: "You go ahead first! With this jacket, I can sense the ghouls, so I'll just run away while they eat you."

Setsuna: "I heard it again..."

• There is a shadowy figure in the distance.

Setsuna: "Someone's there!"

Katou: "Kill it!"

Setsuna: "I wonder if it's another ghoul? Hey, wait!"

• Setsuna chases the figure and grabs the wrist, then pauses. (He's seeing Sara, but Katou doesn't know that.)

Setsuna: "S..."

• Setsuna lets go and the figure runs away.

Setsuna: "No! Wait!"

Katou: "Yo... Hey..."

• Setsuna chases after the figure again.

Katou: "Don't move on your own, we're in a forest! Many ghouls gather around the Uchuuju ahead... Hey!!"

• Katou chases after Setsuna. He catches up as the figure is about to stab Setsuna, but Katou attacks it and stops it.

Katou: "Are you daydreaming with your eyes open? I don't know what this guy looks like to you... but the cross can reflect its true appearance, look for yourself!"

• Katou shows Setsuna the ghoul with the cross.

Ghoul: "...lp... Help..."

• Setsuna stares up at it with wide eyes as the ghoul grabs his shirt.

Katou: "Mudou?! What are you doing?! You want to get eaten?"

• Setsuna pulls a mask off of the ghoul.

Setsuna: "...Don't worry. There is no more fear. No more pain. Now... You are free...!"

• There is a bright light. Katou shields his eyes from it, and the ghoul transforms from a mass of ugly into a beautiful female form.

Katou: *thinking* "It's changing... He's relieving that ghoul...?! That guy... Even wounds on the spiritual body was healed...!! This gentle light, where did I......?"

• The mask falls to the ground.

Setsuna: "How pitiful... She seems to have had this mask placed on her, and was being controlled... I guess I won't be able to see Sara so easily!"

• Katou grabs Setsuna.

Katou: "I... IDIOT! IF THAT WAS REALLY YOUR SISTER, ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LET HER KILL YOU? You want to be killed by the girl you are rescuing?"

Setsuna: "But... She... Sara sacrificed everything she had to be with me! Her future, her happiness, mother and friends... I took everything away from her! She even gave her life to protect me! Someone like that... If my death can save her... then even if she kills me... It's... it's alright..."

• Katou makes this face for a moment, then shoves Setsuna away from him.

Katou: "I am embarrassed just to hear that, moron!"

Learned/Effects:
• Setsuna is a bigger idiot than previously realized.
• Any lingering doubts that there might have been that Setsuna is in love with his sister would pretty much be GONE now.
