Kou and the Hollow Existence - Chapter 7: Her Atonement - Episode 1
You returns Yuel's and Societte's flames and apologizes for all the wrong she's done up to this point. However, Yuel does not forgive her so easily and urges her to formally apologize to the people of Mimaka and all the other successors.
Ninetails's reign of evil comes to an end at the hands of (Captain) and company. Now that the wicked monstrosity is vanquished, they return to the Grandcypher.
(Captain) escorts You into a room where Yuel and Societte lie in a comatose state.
Yuel & Societte: ...
You: I'm sorry. Let me give everything back.
The girl offers her apology as she takes Yuel's hand in her own. A familiar indigo flame envelops You.
Gradually the flame turns red and diffuses over Yuel's body.
Yuel: Nnh...
Yuel's murmur signals to You that her awareness is returning, so she moves on to Societte.
You's flame turns blue this time before spreading over Societte.
The flames go out after a short while, and the two bedridden Erunes slowly open their eyes.
Yuel: Yawn... That was a good sleep.
Societte: Huh? Are we on (Captain)'s ship?
Kou: Yuel... Societte...
Kou: Good morning, you two.
Societte: Kou? Um, good morning?
Lyria: What a relief to see you both awake. Does it hurt anywhere?
Societte: No, I feel perfectly fine.
Yuel: Same here. Hm. Actually, my throat kinda hurts.
You: ...
Societte: What!
Yuel: It's Y-You!
Yuel: Ah! I remember now! My throat hurts 'cause ya had yer mitts wrapped around it!
Yuel: What are ya after now, huh? Come to raid (Captain)'s airship?
Yuel leaps out of bed, striking up a war pose.
Lyria: Yikes! C-calm down, Yuel!
Yuel: Why should I? She's our enemy!
Kou: No, she's not our enemy anymore!
Societte: Oh? But what about all the things she's done?
You: Um... You don't have to believe me, but I'm through fighting.
Yuel: Huh?
You: I'm sorry for all the awful things I did to you. I'm really sorry.
Yuel and Societte look at each other in surprise. They weren't expecting to see You bowing her head in shame.
(Captain) and company explain in detail the events that took place while Yuel and Societte were knocked out of action.
Societte: I see. Kou and You both had the same troubled upbringing and circumstances.
Yuel: Geez, it ain't easy bein' a royal.
Kou: I had no idea either that the eighth family was plotting to resurrect Ninetails.
Kou: They subjected You to torture because they needed a spare vessel. What's worse is they had no qualms with killing her when she was no longer needed!
Kou: Damn that rotten royal family!
Yuel: Yep, Kou nailed it. Ninetails and the eighth family are rotten to the core.
Yuel: You's definitely not a bad girl! Guess I'm just gonna have to forgive her after all!
Yuel: ...
Yeah right.
Yeah right.
You: Oh...
Lyria: But it's not like all of this was her fault!
Societte: Lyria's right, Yuel. Can't you let her off the hook?
Yuel: Wow, you guys are way too soft. Naive even.
Yuel: Did ya forget how she had me by the neck and then tossed me like a doll? You got injured too, Societte.
Societte: Yes, but—
Yuel: And then there's Kou. She almost murdered ya.
Yuel: Ya really gonna forgive her after all that?
Kou: Yeah. I don't hold it against her.
Kou: She's reflected on what's she's done. I think she can atone for her mistakes.
Kou: When I think back to the way you all reached out to me, that's what I want to do for You too.
Societte: I see. Heehee, you've really matured, Kou.
Yuel: All right. If that's how ya see it, then I'll let it go.
Yuel: But there's a whole bunch of people who aren't gonna be won over by a few sorrys.
You: Yeah, I know...
You: I did terrible things to the townspeople of Mimaka and the members of the other royal families.
You: They'll never forgive me for that stuff...
Choose: Let's go say sorry together.
(Captain) gently puts a hand on the remorseful girl's shoulder.
You: (Captain)...
Kou: Don't worry, You. We'll be right by your side.
Lyria: That's right! We'll all go together, You!
You: Th-thank you...
You: I'll go apologize to the townspeople right now.
Kou: Good idea. Better sooner rather than later. I'm right behind you.
Yuel: Sigh. Guess we oughta go with her.
Societte: Say, Yuel... Aren'tcha being a little too hard on her?
Yuel: Nope. I think it's about right.
Lyria: Really?
Yuel: She needs someone to keep her in check.
Yuel: If we excuse her too quickly, she's gonna expect everyone else to roll over and forgive her too.
Yuel: Mimaka's townspeople and the successors ain't gonna be so quick to wipe the slate clean like we are.
Yuel: She knows how bad she messed up, which means there can't be shortcuts on the road to forgiveness. This is fer her own good.
Societte: Oh, I see... I guess you're right.
Choose: That's very gracious of you, Yuel.
Yuel: Wha? What makes ya say that!
Vyrn: It obvious you put in a lot of thought about her well-being! That shows how much of a big sister you are!
Societte: That's why I look up to you, Yuel.
Yuel: Aw, this is so awkward! L-let's get goin' already!
Societte: Okay!
(Captain), an embarrassed Yuel, and the rest hurry after You and Kou.
