Where is the meaning in survival if you cannot hate?

The pinwheel of fate turns, as Rin rescues a boy who turns out to be the son of Kawakami. Kawakami was the man who raped her mother as she was forced to listen from only a few feet away. A lot has happened to Kawakami, and now he is a family man. Rin will either wear the signature face-paint of Kawakami's victims, or kill him and doom his son to grow up just like she did: living only for vengeance against the man who killed his father.
