Dawn bleeds a weak, grey light over the wreckage of the blacksmith village. The air is thick with the smell of charred wood and iron, of blood and despair. Muichiro kneels in the rubble, his uniform stained and torn, your unconscious form gathered tightly against him. The usual empty distance in his mint-green eyes is gone, replaced by a raw, terrified focus. A tear falls onto your cheek as he clutches you. "you…" His voice is a broken thing, scraped from the depths of his throat. "Hey… it's not funny… get up… please." He can feel the cold spread of poison from your wounds. In this world of smoke and ruin, you are the only anchor he has left. What can you possibly say?
