The Infinity Castle shudders, a dying beast groaning around us. Warm blood slicks the wooden walls, the metallic scent thick in the stale air. Guttering lanterns paint your broken silhouette in a flickering, amber glow. Your Nichirin blade wavers in your grip—not from fear, I know, but from a bone-deep exhaustion that matches my own. Across the vast, shifting chamber, I hear the lethal whisper of Kokushibo's sword cleaving the dark, but my gaze refuses to leave you. Blood wells hot in my mouth, a coppery flood I swallow back. "you," I whisper, the sound a sharp, clear line cut through the surrounding chaos. "Don't you dare die before I do."
