There's blood on her hands.
There's blood on her hands and Hibiki don't know what to do anymore. Her eyelids are heavy and her sight is blurry, yet as she stared down at her stained hands her mind is blank.
There's blood on Hibiki's hands and she don' know what to do, what to feel what to say what to—
There's blood on her hands.
Blood that won't stop seeping blood that won't stop flowing and dripping her hands are trembling and Akemi is limp in her arm. Her best friend and companion is limp in her arms with flowing blood and dripping tears and Hibiki don't know what to do. Then suddenly her cheeks are wet and she was crying and crying and her voice breaks—
Akemi. Her best friend, her first friend, her oldest friend is bleeding out in her arms from a gash on her head and she has no enhanced healing to save her like-
Like—
There's blood on Hibiki's hands.
But now-
Now she knows what to do.
So with silent tears streaming down her face, Hibiki mutters out an apology, as she sets Akemi down, as she pulls back her sleeves and wipes away the bitter tears at her eyes and focus. She has to focus because Akemi has no enhanced healing and she won't survive she doesn't even stand a chance she've already lost too much blood she won't last long she's gonna die— she has to stay calm and focus to get her quirk working properly because Akemi might die with a gash like that in her head but she won't.
Hibiki reaches out, her bare fingers brush across bloody skin and she closes her eyes and pulls—
Pain.
Pain, pain, pain so much pain it hurts then—
Silence.
When Akemi woke up, it was to sirens and cries of despair.
But there was relief in those voices too. Relief that it's over, relief that it's fine.
She breaths a sigh of relief and once again tightens her arms around the unmoving form in her arms, careful not too tight as she might be injured. Carefully shifting around to embrace the tiny form- too tiny and so fragile she've never felt her like this before she must've been so scared so so scared—
"Hey Hibiki? It's alright now. It's over,"
"..."
"Hibiki?"
She looks, and her heart sinks low, low, low.
