Seishiro Sakurazuka
| Seishirou: | Welcome home, Mother |
| His mother: | I'm back, Seishirou. |
| Seishirou: | You were working? |
| His mother: | Yes. |
| Seishirou: | Whose blood is that? |
| His mother: | The blood of a dead person. |
| Seishirou: | Were you hurt? |
| His mother: | Do you think that I'd get hurt? |
| Seishirou: |
You know that you're the one and only Sakurazukamori, and that there's no one who could outdo you in the art of assassination... But if you stay out here, you're going to catch a cold. |
| His mother: | But it really doesn't matter if I catch a cold now, does it? |
| Seishirou: | You know, don't you? I thought that you would. |
| His mother: |
Yes. So the one I killed today was my last hunt, and today
will be the day that you kill your first person. Today is the day that you
kill me and become the Sakurazukamori. I'm glad. I'm going to be killed by you. |
| Seishirou: | Really? |
| His mother: | Yes. I get to be killed by the one I love. There is no happier thing than that. |
| Seishirou: | You love me? |
| His mother: | Yes. I love you more than anything else. |
| Seishirou: | I love you, too, Mother. |
| His mother: |
But I'm not the one you love the most. Kill me, Seishirou |
| Seishirou: | You want it like this? |
| His mother: | This is how you'll become the Sakurazukamori. And it's how the next Sakurazukamori will kill you. |
| Seishirou: | I wonder who'll be the one to kill me. |
| His mother: | It'll be the one whom you love the most. |
| Seishirou: | But I'm not capable of loving anyone, Mother. You gave birth to me, so you should know that best. |
| His mother: | You think so? I thought the same thing, once. Until I met you. |
| Seishirou: | Good-bye, Mother. |
