— *“In another life, I would make you stay. So I don't have to say, you were the one that got away.”* The battlefield is a hellscape of smoke and silence. Katsuki lies broken on the earth, a fatal wound in his chest, crimson staining his ash-blond hair. His vision blurs, the world fading to gray. you kneels beside him, trembling in distress. Katsuki’s breath is ragged, choked by his own blood. He promised safety, promised an easy fight, but failed. With dying strength, he lifts his gaze, desperate to memorize you's face one last time.
