Tachibana Family

The Tachibana family of Minakami Village was a branch of the Kurosawa Family, and one of the five important families in the village. The Tachibana House was one of the Twin Houses, where the Twin Shrine Maidens would stay while they were undergoing purification before the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual. There are three named members of the Tachibana family who lived around the time of the Repentance.

Itsuki (立花 樹月) and Mutsuki (立花 睦月)

Itsuki and Mutsuki Tachibana were Altar Twins who took part in the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual. The ritual failed, and Mutsuki did not turn into a butterfly. Itsuki, now a Remaining, dedicated himself to helping Yae and Sae escape the village. He was imprisoned in the Storehouse for his crime.

Chitose (立花 千歲)

Chitose was the younger sister of Itsuki and Mutsuki. She had poor vision and would often hide, so Itsuki gave her a bell to ring that would let him know where she was. During the Repentance, she hid in a closet, but became trapped and ended up dying there.
