So what's up with Itsuki and Sae? Did they have feelings for each other? Many people have wondered this but no one can confrim it. During the game there are a lot of hints dropped that the two had feelings for each other. Itsuki pleads with Mio (who he thinks is Yae) to find Sae and leave the village. When making it through the game once and receiving the spirit list there are three pictures of Sae (see pictures on the left with the captions from game) hinting towards feeling for Itsuki. Even in the written documents throughout the game you can see a connection between the two. Whether it be a strong friendship or a romance, there is definitely something there between the two. |

Captured Sae only wants to see Itsuki one more time. Unaware of his death, she walks into the sotrehouse to see his body hanging from the ceiling. |

Mourns Itsuki as "Sae". Thinks his suicide was her fault. Continues to apologize. |

On the Japanese site they have this wallpaper posted. Another hint towards their feelings for each other? |

In an FMV scene we are able to see Sae and Yae's escape. Sae seems very hesitant to leave because she doesn't want to leave the village, she'd rather become one with Yae, but I also believe she doesn't want to leave Itsuki. As the two girls are fleeing the village Sae turns back and looks at Itsuki one final time. In her facial expression you are able to see how sad she is. Of course this is just my theory, you can decide for yourself on this. |

In one of the final FMV's in the game we see Sae go to see Itsuki one final time. As she walks into the store house she sees Itsuki's body hanging in the air, dead. She is mortified at the sight and becomes extremely upset. |

The last piece of evidence would be the diaries in the game. Here are all the diaries that have suttle hints and clues to their relationship. |

Butterfly Diary 4
Yae... Why did you leave by yourself?
It's our fault that this is happening to Itsuki. You promised we'd always be
together.

Bound Diary 1
If we perform the Crimson Sacrifice, then Yae and Sae will not need to go
through with the ritual. But if our ritual failes, they will be the only ones
left for the next sacrifice. I have to get Yae and Sae out of this village.
The horror has to stop. There has to be another way. I cannot let Yae and Sae
suffer like this...
The old passageway under Kureha Shrine has been sealed ever since some twins
tried to escape through there long ago. The Ceremony Master said they were
killed by a cave-in during their escape. Concerned, the Ceremony Master
sealed the Old Tree which enshines the Remaining.
Although the path is sealed, a passageway still leads out. Opening the seal
should make it possible to leave the village. The pinwheel keys that open the
seal have been handed down through the families of four Veiled Priests. I was
able to find the pinwheel for this family in the storehouse.
After passing through a passageway, you only have to run through the forest
and remember to never look back. But will those two have the willpower
necessary? |

Bound Diary 2
The Ritual is coming up soon. Mutsuki is too weak to run away, and there is
no way. I can carry him. He said he's forgive me no matter what happens. He
does not want Sae and Yae to suffer either.
I promised him that I would help Sae and Yae escape after the ritual. Mutsuki
will remain here as a butterfly. I plan to remain here in the village with
him too... |

Bound Diary 5
The three other pinwheel keys are hidden in the Kiryu, Osaka and Tachibana
houses. Nobody expect me to run after the ritual. At that time it should be
easy to take the keys.Helping Yae and Sae escape may well be the last task I ever perform... |
