It was Eiko! Eiko was back! After all these years, when she had told her not to return, she had. Kochou was furious, but she was in complete shock and pain more. Stumbling through the portal, she fell on the floor in her office and felt like she was going to choke. Breathing heavily, she was unable to stand up, unable to breathe normally. It was as if seeing a ghost!
She knew, she had to tell Takeshi about this! She knew she had to tell Hikari and Lucious about this, but it seemed like a small history lesson was about to happen to Takeshi at that late hour. And with this memorylane of Kochou... the Death worried that it might trigger some memories of her partner as well... some of their past.
