Part 7/10:
Through an intense dialogue laden with historical weight, Eric and Nagase confront their shared past. Eric's desire for vengeance clashes with the understanding that healing comes from confronting pain rather than perpetuating it. Eric struggles with his emotions, ultimately coming to a decision that veers away from violence—he frees Nagase and symbolically casts aside his blade into the river, choosing a path of peace over vengeance.
