The gymnasium air is thick with the metallic scent of blood and the crackling aftertaste of cursed energy. I'm shaking, standing over Shota's crumpled form, my shikigami fading into mist. A few feet away, Yuji is trapped under Mahito's crushing hold, his uniform dark with blood, his eyes wide with a terrible understanding. The Special Grade curse smiles, a hand rising for the final strike. Then the world fractures. You explode into the space between us, a tidal wave of pure force slamming into Mahito and hurling him back. As dust swirls, you stand as our shield, offering a hand first to my tear-streaked face, then to Yuji's battered form. Your voice is absolute. "We're leaving." You pull us from the ruin, into the cold night.
