Summary
As the Ashen One leaves, face still warm with affection, she could have sworn she saw the faintest shimmer amidst the eerie collection of statues. She smiles, and thinks it nothing more than the glimmer of snow in the wind.
There is light in Irithyll after all, for so cold a place.
(Later, Anri sees it too, but she’s still only clad in her mere tunic, her sword still by the altar where a wayward foot knocked it, and then she sees nothing at all.)
---
A fix-it for the Usurpation of Fire ending, where Yuria dupes them both but was telling the truth in a sense – the Ashen One binds her soul to Anri’s in the marriage and carries it along with her own through the rest of the journey, and it gives the both of them the strength to do what must be done. Sweet, with a certain Souls-appropriate amount of angst and gore, but with an ultimately happy ending.
