Warning for supernatural elements and implications of suicide. Also vague ending.


Akiyama Ryo knows the difference between trying to end your life and trying to preserve it.

He sweeps his eyes over the bloodless bedroom floor, notes the dust under the bed. He notes the silence inside compared to the sirens outside.

Kato Juri sleeps on beneath the dust and the blanket and the only spots of blood. And for a moment, Akiyama Ryo doubts his intelligence.

Then he remembers it and presses his hand to her ice cold palm.

Her chest begins to rise and fall, so steady and calm.

Her eyes open bright red. Ryo exits the room.


A/N: I'm not sure what this is honestly, I think it was just a prompt I woke up and did for an exercise. Oh well, it was kinda fun. Someone can play with it if they want. XD Just ask.
