Chapter 109

An Empty Cradle (虚ろなゆりかご, Utsurona Yuri Kago) is the 109th chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
Bonchien is shocked when he comes face to face with the resurrected March. He knows her as the "sacrificed girl from two hundred years ago." March walks up to Bonchien and grabs the bottom of his shirt and says they're going to where Fushi is. She tells him to hope on Fushi's horse and they head off.

They arrive back at Booze Man's shop and March leads him inside. Kahaku is gone and March wonders if the doctor already came by and took him. Bonchien is horrified by the blood bath in the room and asks March what happened. She explains that Fushi got messed up by the "man from Yanome" and Bonchien realizes Kahaku did this. Bonchien blames himself for leaving Fushi alone. March continues to explain that Fushi did his best to keep regenerating until he couldn't and then Kahaku chopped off his arm and a Nokker shot out and ran away somewhere. Bonchien asks if she's saying Fushi disappeared and March questions if he really can't see him like how he can see the other spirits. Bonchien looks around and doesn't see him. Bonchien wonders if this is the end.

Bonchien screams out to the Beholder asking him if this is want he wanted to see — the death of Fushi and Renril, and asks if he's happy now. The Beholder appears and asks him if something bad happened. March tells him it's really bad and that stealing life is bad always. The Beholder simply tells them to "take it back then."

Meanwhile, the Nokkers are slowly overtaking the town. Cam, Sera, and the rest of the troops do their best to continue defending the hospital but there seems no end to the Nokkers.

Just then, Iddy arrives clutching her arm. She walks toward the pool of blood and Bonchien asks if she's alright. Iddy digs through the blood and pulls out a rope with Fushi's orb attached to it. Bonchien and March get a closer look and the Beholder tells them it's Fushi's base form for when all else has been forgotten. Bonchien examines the rope and realizes it hasn't been severed, meaning Fushi is still connected to Renril. Bonchien asks aloud if this was Fushi's final act of resistance.

March suggests they help turn Fushi back into a human and get back Fushi's stolen forms. But Bonchien tells her it's no use since they can't locate the Nokker. March insists on searching until they find it but Bonchien tells her the plan won't work.

At the same time, Iddy makes her way to the roof of Booze Man's shop and stands out on the edge.
