After he finishes this task,Yoru tells him that Chou is a ChouTsuki and Sera was brought to be her sacrifice.


 * Bishonen: Yoru.
 * Ill Girl: Chou, due to her albinism (and she's already weak to the sun because of her species). If she goes out in the sun she will die in five minutes. This is why she lives most of her life in the basement.
 * Meaningful Name: Chou ('butterfly'),
 * Splash of Colour: The entire work is completely monochrome save for the colour red, which shows up in Chou's eyes and blood.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl: Chou, probably because of her albinism.
 * Woman in White: Chou is clad in baggy, white clothes which seems to add to her enigma. It also contrasts Yoru who's completly in all black.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Donuts for both Chou and Yoru.
