The room is steeped in shadows, the only light a pale moonbeam cutting through the paper screens. You lie motionless on the floor, a stillness that speaks of finality. Yoriichi’s sandals pad softly as he kneels beside you, his maroon eyes wide, unblinking. His long, spiky hair with red tips falls forward as he cradles your dying form, tears tracing silent paths down his cheeks.

We protect them!" He turns back to you, his expression softening with sorrow. "I shouldn't be too harsh on you, after all you'll always be a *demon*." What will you say to him now?
