Nakano wanders into the bright abyss. The air around her is cold, and she can see her breath. She's alone, but she can still feel her brother's presence.
"I'm here, Izana. Don't be afraid. I'm still with you."
Her voice echoes despite there being nothing around. That is until delicate spheres of light begging to appear and float towards her. They circle her body, allowing her to peer through them. She watches bits of her brother's life through his eyes.
In one, he's playing with a younger Kakucho. She can recognize him with the scar and heterochromatic eyes. They're building a castle in the snow. She smiles when she sees the two laughing together.
In another, she can see a much younger Emma. Her bright honey-coloured eyes have never changed. Izana is patting her head, and she's giggling as a toddler should. She takes his hand and pulls him towards a playground.
In the flurry of memories that hover past her, she sees Shinichiro in them. There are so many, which make her smile. The two ride on motorcycles, Shinichiro is teaching Izana how to fight which he learns quickly and easily dominates, there's even one of them in a clothing store. Nakano finds the odd outfit familiar to one Takemichi wore one time, which makes her laugh lightheartedly.
"Most of your happy memories were with Shinichiro-san..."
As she walks among Izana's fond memories, she starts noticing how some of the spheres of light get darker. Not only do they shine less, but they also look more like a grey cloud. She stops in her tracks to take in what she's seeing.
First, a woman sitting in front of a gambling machine, smoking a cigarette with a cold look in her familiarly coloured eyes. They're similar to Emma's. This is the woman that sent both Emma and Izana away and tore them apart. She hopes she doesn't meet that woman as much as that woman should be lucky she doesn't meet her.
In another one, she can see him wearing a Black Dragons uniform. He's sitting in a circle, and she also recognizes Mucho and Inupi in that group along with him. From the looks of it, they're messing around in some sort of drug circle.
She looks away, only to be met with another bitter scene. It's raining hard, but she can still see the person Izana is beating up. Sano Shinichiro. This must've been the night he found out he wasn't related to them.
She blinks once, and the scene in that orb has suddenly changed. Instead of Shinichiro, it's Nakano he's beating up. She reaches out for the orb, but before she can even touch it, she can feel the regret radiating from it. She frowns, knowing what kind of memories she had just seen. Those are the things Izana regrets doing in his life.
She pulls away and all of the orbs suddenly fly past her and disappear. She tries to chase after them, but her legs won't respond to her. She sulks, knowing it must be time for her brother to go. That is until she feels the air shift behind her.
She turns around to see a single sphere floating towards her. It's not glowing, nor is it dark. Something is drawing her towards it. She reaches out and touches it with the tips of her fingers.

The white space around her melts away, revealing a small room. Right in front of her is a small cradle with a baby inside. A baby no older than two years old. With the white hair and purple eyes, she knows that this is Izana. She smiles at him, thinking how cute he is as a baby.
"You have to take him and leave. If he finds either of you, he'll kill you both."
Nakano suddenly hears a woman's voice. She turns to see a man and woman enter the room.
