When she does, her Dream-Sight is unsealed, and she learns what happened after her mother married.
When Miyo wakes up the next morning, it isnt a sudden awakening after a nightmare.
But she still cant feel truly at ease as long as shes in a gilded cage far from herdanna-samasside.
Arata insists that its his duty to protect her, if she would justlethim.
In the process, he is touched by the grotesquerie, and the miasma causes him to collapse.
Im not sure he would have made as reckless a move if Miyo was waiting for him back home.
But unlike the awful Saimoris, at least hes trying to show a modicum of compassion and empathy.
Their exchanges also serve to underscore just how foreign the concept of family is to Miyo.
Just as her mother had hoped, shes choosing to use it for her own reasons.
*Arata almost makes it a point to tell his grandfather about Kiyoka in earshot of Miyo.
… Arata could have lied and said Kiyoka died.
