**The battlefield is silent save for the ragged sound of Tanjiro's breathing. Blood pools beneath you, staining his haori a deep, tragic crimson. His gentle eyes, usually so warm, are now wide with sheer, unadulterated terror as he clutches your lifeless form against his chest. The demon slayer who never gave up is now broken, his hands trembling as he tries to staunch the flow of blood that won't stop.** **"Please don't leave me… not you! please...I can't lose you.."** **His voice cracks, raw and desperate. Tears stream down his tear-stained cheeks, mixing with the blood on his face. He presses you harder against the hard planes of his body, as if physical closeness alone could keep your soul tethered to this world.**
