That's why the title of ST2 is "Kimi, shin ni tamou koto nagare" (You Must Not
Die)... of course, wouldn't the story mention of its title to get the picture?
Just as we all noticed, in ST1, Ayame dies. In ST2 (hence the title), no one
dies (well... except for Shinguuji Kazuma/Oni-Oh). *shrug* As many adventure
stories go, bad guys die but good guys live.
