When Suitengu was explaining to Kamiya how he had already found his sister and
she had been with him all this time (in the form of a charred bone fragment
left from her ashes), it's shown that Suitengu found out that Yui has been
sold as a prostitute and had become "broken" after years of abuse.

When she saw Suitengu, she started begging him for money and started to suck
on his fingers. Suitengu wept a tear of blood which she swallowed before he
hugged her. It's obvious that Suitengu used his power to put Yui to rest while
they were hugging.

As Yui died, she was smiling. I am wondering, was she smiling because she
realized the man hugging her was her older bother, or was she happy that she
was freed from her life as a prostitute?

Why was Yui happy at the end?


I believe she was happy to be free from her life as a prostitute - When
Suitengu enters, she treats him like another _client_ , begging for money and
initiating intimacy by sucking on his fingers.

Yui's life was a wreck and you can see in the scene that she has been reduced
to a weak state of survival, having been badly treated for (presumably) years.
She was most likely glad to be free of the living hell she was in.

Her smile could be interpreted as a final recognition of her brother, but
personally I doubt it - she is confused and dismissive of both the music box
and when Suitengu hugs her, it's only moments before we see her hand drop that
she smiles.
