doorframe is surrounded with photos and knickknacks, like some kind of magpie’s scrapbook: there are various photos of BAD END members, of pep!pep! at the beach, of the garden at ☆ZRAEL; there are snack wrappers from the conbini; a dangling tsum tsum of Scythe; a neat-looking leaf from the park; a handprint in what looks like old blood.

Beneath the name “HELLFIRE” (the katakana are enthusiastically oversized) are a collection of other names:
“Kiri,” “Cut Through All Foes,” “Khrysaor, Temptation of Angels,” and—written like an addendum to that last one—a fourth, which is not in katakana but rather some strange script that makes your vision blur at the edges: “Khysael.”

Most prominent of all, though, is the carved crest on the door: a detailed lotus and aconite, twining together into one whole. And you understand, intuitively, that this is as much a name as all the others.

Nothing new but knowledge: that these are your (her) flowers, as much a part of you as your cutting edge:

Lotus, Key of the Descending Angel.
Aconite, Key of Rage.

You trace your fingers over that strange script, and the shape of them feels almost like a poem, or a tiny fragment of one:
Thousand-cutting soul;
a thousand ways of ending
