Durarara!! Saika Arc Chapter 013

This is the thirteenth chapter in the Durarara!! Saika Series.

Synopsis
Haruna corners Takashi and reminisces on how they met. She acknowledges how he had accepted her love and used her for money until he cast her away but proclaims she will still forgive him and accept it. She puts her knife to Takashi's throat, asking rhetorically if he'll accept her love when Anri intervenes.

Annoyed by her intrusion, Haruna tries to make her leave, proclaiming a parasite like her has no reason to interfere, but Anri retaliates. Haruna becomes furious, explaining all the troubles she went through and how she managed to overpower Saika and goes to attack Anri. Anri takes the blow but is uninjured. Haruna draws away, shocked. Anri pulls out a Japanese sword from her skin, revealing it to the real original Saika.

Anri quickly overwhelms Haruna, and while pointed her Saika to her throat requests her to command her children to stop cutting others. Haruna rejects, refusing to cooperate with someone seemingly weaker than her. Anri presses the tip of her Saika against her hand, allowing her to hear the voice of her Saika. Haruna breaks down, overwhelmed by the voices and questions Anri in her ability to bear with it, to which Anri replies she has learned to live off of others to get to where she is now.

Trivia

 * The chapter's title derives from the expression 満身創痍, which means to have wounds all over one's body. The word "sou'i" (創痍) for "wound" is exchanged with the words "tou'i" (刀意) to mean "blade's intent."
