One day Genji took Yugao out by carriage and they spent some happy hours. Afterward, it was about midnight and he had been asleep for a while when an exceedingly beautiful woman appeared by his pillow. He awoke, feeling as if he were in the power of a malign being. The light had gone out. He ordered his men to bring the light. He reached for the girl. She was not breathing. Ukon, her servant lay face down at her side. A devil had seized Yugao and killed her.
