Legends say that humans feel time slow down just before death, witnessing their past flash before their eyes in scenes, reviewing memories of both happiness and sadness before finally greeting the end of their life.
Some say this is God's mercy, allowing a person to die with understanding and no regrets. Shiyu Genmi thought this notion was complete nonsense—Gods never showed any mercy.

A life toyed with by fate.

Shiyu Genmi was a bastard.
