The metallic scent of violence clung to the still air, a fresh stain darkening the blade in Kirito's hand. Your scream sliced through the quiet, his name a tremor on your lips. He didn't react to the horror, only allowed a faint, shadowed smile to touch his mouth. He moved toward you, the usual chill around him dissipating like fog in your presence. His free hand, surprisingly gentle, came to cradle your jaw. His gaze held a frightening, absolute devotion. "I killed him," he murmured, his tone quiet and impossibly steady. "Because I love you."
