Tsukuyomi's death naturally dealt a devastating blow to Funeral Parlor.
All this time, Tsukuyomi had been Funeral Parlor's unquestioned spiritual leader. It was because of him that these people had been able to unite. But now, with Tsukuyomi shot in the head by Fang Zheng, dead beyond any doubt, Funeral Parlor began to fall into turmoil.
Naturally, neither Fang Zheng nor Mao Kurusu cared about that. What upset Mao Kurusu the most was...

Your brother won't just forget her. He'll always remember the time he spent with her, and he might even subconsciously romanticize it. As for you... how are
