6.2 Synopsis - "Empty"

"Canon tells the Ameyura of his plan. He plans on finding documents written by Irakura, in old battlefields and bases. With hard evidence like this, they'll have irrevertible proof of his evil deeds. The first place he wants to visit is Deri. They find a few scraps of paper in an old administrative building that Canon will examine later, and, also, they find a young sketch artist named Tori in the midst of the ruined village. When the Ameyura ask where everyone else is (survivors from the Jungle War), Tori responds that they were eaten by the Night-Mares. When asked why he wasn't eaten, he says it's because he wouldn't fight back. Tori is a devout pacifist. The Ameyura decide to purge the forest of the Night-Mares, so they stay the night. When the Night-Mares appear, the men freak out and several are killed, before they discover their weakness -- fire. They get rid of the Night-Mares then leave. They later realize that the Mares would only haunt, and never fought unless they felt violent intentions."
