After battling with Yamato helped by Karito, and left with emotional scars rather than flesh wounds, we're finally able to save Rin. She was injured and unconscious. Although her vital signs showed positive responses.
"We have to take back Rin as soon as possible," Kentarou rushed us. We then decided to help her first, but before I stepped further, Karito tapped me on my shoulder. He explained that Yamato joined with Yamisuke, but its not clear what order he gave him. Yamato was allegedly the one to erect the cellular tower by the help of his dark arm, populating the sector with demon-type possessed, as well as inspired darkness inside Kotetsu. At that point, I didn't think too much about that information. But come to think of it, Yamato's element was wood, then how did he managed to conjure metal structures like the cellular towers?
Karito further elaborated that, "Yamato has done something to make your comrade think about the worst, even the most sheer drop possibilities in his life, and manipulated that emotion to activate darkness in his heart," I tried to understand what he explained, demonic transformation occurs when the victim remembers their desperate moment in life. This opened up a whole new meaning to the situation.

The sky above us was cleared, even though the smoke from the nearly obliterated buldings around us was still in our surroundings. "Why don't you come back to the island?" I asked.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Karito smiled, then refused our suggestion softly, "I'm afraid I have to stay here, just think of me as a spy for you, okay? I'll find more information about Yamisuke and the curse, and I'll try to survive as hard as I could,"
After a quick farewell with Karito, we head back to sector 16, and found out the the warriors have been tearing down the cellular towers one by one and the possessed have been taken care of. I followed the others gathering on one of the rooftops with shade on it, to let Rin rest a little. Kanata then tried to cure her wounds, "Her head really took a hard hit, she might faint for hours to come,"
We couldn't say anything at that moment, Kentarou even asked me why I was willing to abandon the other warriors to save Rin. "I don't know. I just feel like... she needed us," I replied with blank stares.
The rest of the team, except Kanata, went and helped other warriors, while I kept an eye on Rin. Soon, she began talking in her sleep. "Brother..." she said with a soft voice. Her soothing voice somehow reminded me of someone that I used to know. Kanata and I looked at each other, but she quickly continued her attempts to heal her. When she curled up Rin's left sleeve to check her upper-arm, we found something unexpected.
It was there all along, the symbol of Ookami, my clan. I was so dumbfounded by this discovery. Could it be that Rin is my long lost sibling?
