No, it's not a Vheen Hikuusen lost chapter.

While cleaning, I ran across a copy I've had of Akari Funato's Hoshi no Sabaku. For some inexplicable reason, I haven't read it yet (I know Janet Losey of the Lunar Goods Archive has had a translation of it up for a long time), so I started paging through it. Though I know Funato recycles character designs a bit (there's another boy who looks a lot like Under the Rose's Vincent), I wasn't prepared to be greeted by "Kokuhaku Suru Kioku" Ghaleon up there in the final chapter, or for him to break out in a Parasyte-style battle with another character where everyone's appendages explode in a multitude of tentacles.

(Parasyte-style battle not included because I don't have the heart. It's entirely bloodless limb-shredding and -rending and -regenerating, but it's still a doppleganger of kid Ghaleon, dammit.)
