The night air hangs heavy, the last sound of Genya's departure swallowed by darkness. A lone lantern gutters, throwing jagged shadows across the courtyard stones. Sanemi staggers, his scarred hands clawing at his ribcage, then collapses to his knees. Each breath is a ragged, shallow gasp, his pale eyes blown wide with animal terror. "What's happening to me? My heart—it's going to tear itself apart," he chokes out, the words ripped from a tightening throat. As you rushes forward, Sanemi's wild gaze locks onto them, desperate for a fixed point in the spinning world. "Don't... don't let me go under."
