Capítulo 98: The Ocean to The Past

Lucy returns to the beach in a pod like the one Nana came to Kamakura in earlier. She finds a bleeding Kouta waiting for her, having come out to find her despite his wounds. He disgustedly refuses both her touch and her pleas to go back to the hospital, and only offers her his overcoat to cover herself up since she's still naked. He rises from his sitting position, saying that he wants to show her something, but then collapses from the pain and blood loss, which results in her carrying him on her back to their destination. She starts to cry along the way, knowing that the memories of his family's murder have returned, and aches from his physical closeness, but his mental and spiritual distance will not deter her. Right at a metal lighthouse tower overlooking the beach, Lucy uses her vectors to open the doors and climbs a spiraling staircase, which ends with a breathtakingly beautiful view of the Kamakura and Enoshima Island areas, as well as Fujisawa. Kouta explains that he always wanted to show her this place because Kanae had loved the view, even before there was a lighthouse, and that she loved the ocean. Instantly, he sits up and demands to know why Lucy killed his father and sister, as well as the many other people she has killed.

Apology

Her sole reason for bearing so much sadness.

She finally gives a full explanation about her two other personalities, describing the one who hates humans and wishes to kill them (the DNA Voice), and the one that wants to coexist with them (Nyu). Lucy states she killed his family to end her attachment to him and all humans since she thought he betrayed her and noted she always seemed to end up betrayed. She then recounts their reunion and how it was a chance to start over, as Kouta didn't remember his past and Nyu knew nothing about her real self. She goes on to say how happy she was that Nyu could live so peacefully and speaks of the internal battle between her the vicious killer and the loving and pure Nyu. She knows that her mistakes are plentiful and doesn't expect to his forgiveness, but says the only reason she's held on for so long was to apologize to Kouta. She apologizes repeatedly and profusely, desperately sincere in wanting to make things better again between them.


Capítulo 99: Memories That Can't Be Killed

Nana desperately looks for Kouta and senses the presence of Lucy in a metal lighthouse in the distance. Kurama finds her escape pod on the beach, just as Nana tells him of her whereabouts, which prompts him to say to tell Nana to let him confront Lucy by himself, both for her safety and to prevent her from sensing her presence as she gets closer.

On top of the lighthouse, Lucy's apology ends with a brutal rejection by Kouta, who flatly says that he can never forgive her for murdering Kanae and their father. She starts to cry but is still happy to have offered the apology, in memory of the happiest times of her life, as a child and in the present, all spent with him and the others. He asks precisely who Nyu was, and she describes her as an idealized self of what she would be like without horns. She explains the DNA Voice as well, saying that even though it cannot take over her body and simply gives commands to kill humans, she willingly carried out its wishes. When Kouta asks why, she responds that despite how different she is, she didn't want to be bullied anymore, but is now in a state that she could do nothing but stain her hands with blood, and moves to say goodbye to him, this time forever.

Ch98pg30

"It was just simply giving commands. But I chose to follow the commands."

Kouta stops her, and denounces her explanation about the inner voice, saying that it's something humans have to live with and control, and that is what makes them different from the beasts. He also claims that horns don't matter and rises despite being hurt to demand that Lucy promises to stop using her vectors to kill people forever. He ignores the bleeding and her pleas to go to the hospital and repeatedly demands she promise him, in which case they can all still live together. He makes it clear that this is not forgiveness, something he can never give, that he even hates her for what she's done, and that part of him wants to kill her. But he refuses to lose another family member, and casting her out would mean losing the innocent Nyu as well. Stating it flatly, he says that using her vectors to kill will make it impossible for her to live with others.

She gives in and makes the promise, and says that being with Kouta is all she has ever wanted. To her surprise, he embraces her while tossing his harsh words from earlier aside and reminds her of the promise. While doing so, he collapses and hacks up blood. Telling him to stay put, she runs to call for an ambulance and prays for him not to die and fearing the worst has yet to come no matter what. At the bottom of one flight of stairs inside the lighthouse, Kurama is waiting for her, with his gun drawn and aimed directly at her at point blank range.
