Before Makina became the Corpse Princess, there was Isaki Shuuji, a young priest, and Ruo Minai, a girl whose life took a devastating turn. This special rewinds to show how their paths collided and bound them together through a contract neither fully understood at the time. Shuuji carries the weight of his calling as a priest trained to fight the undead, yet he remains unprepared for the darkness he's about to face. Minai's story is one of tragedy and transformation, caught between the living world and something far more sinister. When their worlds crash together, Shuuji makes a choice that will define them both: he becomes her priest, and she becomes his weapon against the corpses that plague humanity. This special peels back the layers to reveal the emotional core of their partnership, showing what it costs to make such a bargain. It's a story about sacrifice, desperation, and the thin line between saving someone and binding them to an endless curse. Their connection runs deeper than duty, rooted in a shared sorrow that shapes everything that comes after.
