Ep 23. Disapearing Life

As Sakura's memories continue to fade away, the group seeks out a mysterious old woman who may be able to help them recover them. Along the way, they encounter a young girl named Kotori who is plagued by a curse that causes her life force to slowly drain away. Syaoran, a skilled fighter, attempts to break the curse but is unsuccessful and Kotori's condition worsens.

Meanwhile, Sakura's memory loss becomes more severe, and her personality becomes more childlike. She becomes fascinated with a small bird and begins to follow it into the forest. Kurogane and Fai chase after her, leaving Syaoran behind to care for Kotori.

As they search for Sakura, Kurogane and Fai encounter a strange, otherworldly creature who seems to be the source of Kotori's curse. They engage in a fierce battle, but the creature is too powerful for them to defeat. Meanwhile, Syaoran desperately searches for a way to save Kotori, even if it means sacrificing his own life force.

Eventually, the group reunites, and they make a plan to defeat the creature and break Kotori's curse. Syaoran puts his life on the line to weaken the creature, while Kurogane and Fai finish it off. With the curse broken, Kotori's life force is restored, and she bids farewell to the group as they continue on their journey.

The episode ends with Sakura recovering some of her memories, but it is clear that there is still much to be done to fully restore her memories and break the curse that has befallen her.
