Kapitel 98: The Form of Love is the ninety-eighth chapter overall, third chapter of volume 17 of the 07 Ghost manga series, and second-last chapter of the series.

Summary
Eve is revealed to have become 'invisible love' mixed with the lives and hearts of humans after her death.

A flashback shows that at the age of fourteen, while attending Dalia Barsburg's coronation ceremony, Dalia's unsealing of the Eye of Raphael caused Ayanami to remember that he is Verloren, and become a family decided to execute him. Ayanami, then known as Krowell, escaped to Barsburg with Yukikaze, and on the way there, changed his name to Ayanami. Yukikaze's death is revealed to have reminded Ayanami of Weldeschtein Krom Raggs's and Eve's deaths.

Back in the present, Ayanami is gravely injured and dying as a result of being impaled by Verloren's Scythe. Teito tries to save him, but he calls Teito a fool and forcefully separates himself from Teito so that Teito won't be devoured by the darkness.

In the afterlife, Verloren is pleasantly surprised to see white feathers all around him, signifying that he is forgiven by the Chief of Heaven.
