Summary
It was strange how the torment never seemed to end. Sinclair saw her in dreams, in nightmares, in reflections, in his own shadow. He saw her in possibilities… he saw her in impossibilities, too; and here he stands now, in the face of impossibility, that goddamn Railway.

Summary
"Obligate style hearkens aflame this robust earth."
According to Sinclair, this is what Ryōshū says when Dante orders her to utilize her personal E.G.O, the sword and sheath that she keeps by her side at all times. Dante... doesn't have even the slightest idea what that means, which is nothing new when it comes to Ryōshū, but something about it doesn't sit quite right with them.
Maybe they're just seeing something that isn't there. It certainly doesn't square with how Ryōshū is most... no, almost all of the time. Ryōshū herself would almost certainly glare a hole through Dante's clockface for even suggesting it. But the inflection in her voice, the way she holds the sword close to her body before using it, as if she's clinging onto it, and that muted expression on her face, behind her eyes...
Is that... sorrow?
A speculative take on Ryōshū's backstory, (very) loosely based on Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's Hell Screen.
