Death to Love

Death to Love was a very old Rokugani song, which was no longer in style in the 12th century. The words told of a dutiful wife who waited for years for her husband to come back from a war. When he finally did, it was to take her (an old woman now) with him into the land of the dead. In an alternate ending, the samurai returned years later and, seeing his wife, shrieked in terror, for it was she who had been dead and her ghost had waited patiently.
