It Makes Me Smile

As Muichiro grows weak from his ordeal, he regains his memories; as a child, he was orphaned after his mother became ill and his father died on a trip to retrieve medicine for her. His twin brother Yuichiro became embittered by their deaths. Kagaya's wife Amane visits to recruit them into the Corps but it provokes Yuichiro, who rants about the futility of helping others and how they are fated to join their dead parents. One night, a demon found them and wounded Yuichiro. In a blinding rage, Muichiro defeated the demon and witnessed his brother's last moments, apologizing to him and praying he would survive. Marks then appear on his face, enhancing his speed and strength. He finds Gyokko about to kill Kanamori and Hotaru and attacks him. Gyokko, shocked that he had escaped, uses multiple attacks but fails to stop Muichiro.
