Epilogue
Today...
Homins, I shared this story with you because it was Ayuko's final wish that it be told. He is still in the hospital, battling against his infection, and shows no signs of improving. He is rarely awake and even more rarely lucid, usually when he wakes up he just rants like a madman.
While investigating the recent events I visited him in the hospital and caught him in one of his few conscious moments, and he asked me to write down his story and publish it. The bits that he couldn't tell me I deduced from conversations with guards, healers or his family.
It was his hope that his story would encourage people to battle this scourge that plagues our lands, and if the rumours that homins caused it are true, to bring those homins to justice. Please see here and here for more information on those events.
But most of all, it was his hope that somebody could find his friend and do what he could not.
