The Garden of Sinners Chapter 8: Epilogue

On his way home, Mikiya Kokutou is stopped in his tracks by a scene that feels like a memory: Shiki Ryougi standing by a railing as snow drifts down, exactly as she was when they first met four years earlier. Drawn into conversation, the two look back on what they’ve lived through together.

As their words linger in the cold air, Mikiya begins to sense a quiet wrongness in Shiki’s presence. The person before him doesn’t feel like the Shiki he knows, but something else—another existence residing within her body.
