Aoi died too soon. This was only after she gave birth to a baby boy safely, which was a great relief to all the people. But she was again seized with the malign spirit and died. Even the old emperor sent a personal message. He received condolences from the crown prince and Fujitsubo. The crowds of mourners overwhelmed the wide crematory of Torinobe. It was late in the Eight Month and a quarter moon still hung. Returning to Sanjo, Genji lamented over the death of Aoi while contemplating the moon of the dawn.
