#1 – Usagi

I feel the life slowly trickle from my body, and liken it to a steady flow of blood without ebb. I realize now that I must indeed be bleeding, my body broken, but such details seem trivial in this moment.

I hear their quiet sobs surround me, although they are faint, as though muffled by some growing barrier. They wish me to use the Ginzuishou as always…but I do not know how to tell them. There will be no Ginzuishou this time. No revival…no renewal. This must be my final sacrifice, and I shall have peace.

"Gomen, minna."
