Summary
"When you go to bed at night, don’t leave the back of your geta pointing at the bed. Evil spirits can see it and they will know where to find you."
"The last thing he saw before his consciousness left reality, was his geta. They were placed nicely underneath, with the back side pointing at his bed."
Sometimes, an evil spirit was what he wanted, even if it meant wrecking his pathetic period of living for good.

Summary
"The sunset cast the last rays of red light through the window, flooding the room in a sinister crimson shade, and Bansai felt the back of his head burn. He did not know if it was an effect of sunlight, or if it was the cluster of feelings inside of him finding their way out and starting to blast all over the place. He felt the heat tingle, mixing with the warm breath against his skin.
He knew this feeling. He was no stranger to such emotion. It was annoying, yet it was a part of life, and as one with a life that lasted forever, he knew that he would encounter it one more time. This time, it was different, however. This time, there was a touch of obsession, of lust, and of the burning desire he had in store for a while, all entangled with each other, and melted at the first time their eyes met."
There was a serial killer on the loose, a vampire wandering around the city and a detective with a special ability to listen to the songs of the souls. As the sunset homicide started, something wicked was about to be released.

Summary
"The splash of the shower hitting the floor, the glub of the flow going down the drain, the burbles when it ran through the pipes, the echo as it rippled above the ceiling, and then the repeat of the whole damned cycle, all of them were vibrant and vivid, ringing constantly in his ears."
"He could feel the monster drifting back to hibernation, leaving his true self to take control, and his true self was clouded with rage."
"That was when his gaze landed on a particular figure, startling his thoughts and his ideas about getting rid of insanity. It was a man, tall and stark, clad in teal, wearing a pair of headphones over his fuzzy hair, and carrying a shamisen on his shoulder."
“Shinsuke.”
Bansai's voice was right over him now, and yet he still felt the space at his back hollow."
Or: What could happen if Takasugi found himself a cursed hideout after the ambush on Enshou, to get lost in his griefs and wandering thoughts, and to hold onto a failed belief in the vague chance of seeing Bansai again.
