Hero: What happens now?
Ai no Miko: I don't know.
Ai no Miko: Jaaku is gone… but if you're right, then the threat still remains.

Ai no Miko: But Akiba is safe, and now those we lost can finally be at peace.
Emperor Daisho: Yes. The restless spirits will start to vanish, and will no longer trouble our people.
Ai no Miko: And you? Will you vanish, too?
Emperor Daisho: I will be here with you, in some form, for as long as you are alive to remember me.
Emperor Daisho: And I know you will protect our people, whatever takes.
Ai no Miko: I'm not so sure. But I'll do my best.
