   Summary

   Severely injured and confused, Genichiro wakes up in a field of silver grass. He can't recall how he got there, and, worse still, his entire past is shrouded in thick fog. With the last of his strength, he drags himself into a dilapidated temple, where he meets a silent man with dark, melancholy eyes. Genichiro does not remember ever having seen him before, and yet … there is something about this man that is eerily familiar to him.

   Or: the one where Genichiro survives and loses his memories; where he and Wolf don’t have to kill each other and therefore … get the chance to find out just how similar they really are.
