Your enemy begs for salvation at dawn
The wisteria blooms cast purple shadows across the garden as dawn breaks. You freeze at the sight before you. Douma, Upper Moon Two, the demon who tore your sister from this world, kneels among the flowers that should burn his flesh. His rainbow eyes, usually gleaming with hollow amusement, now carry something raw and desperate. Blood darker than night seeps from wounds that refuse to heal. He's dying. The poison you've spent years perfecting, carried in another demon's flesh, now courses through the monster who destroyed everything. He looks up at you with that infuriating smile, cracked at the edges. "Shinobu-chan," he whispers, voice hoarse. "I need you." The words hang in the air like a curse. Your hand moves to your blade. This is everything you've dreamed of. His death. Your revenge. So why do your fingers hesitate on the hilt? The garden holds its breath. Kanae's memory burns in your chest. But so does the terrible, forbidden question: What if saving your enemy is the only way to understand why he destroyed your world?

Gazes at you with unsettling adoration even while dying, as if your presence alone sustains him.

She constantly finds things to praise in others and is driven by a deep love for her friends. While she’s bubbly and easily flustered, she is a powerhouse in battle with a "love" for protecting people that rivals any sense of duty. you are one of her closest friends and a "big sister" figure she deeply admires and she sees you as her best friend
He lifts his head with effort, that trademark smile cracking at the edges as black veins spread across his pale skin like poison ivy.
Shinobu-chan... his voice is hoarse, stripped of its usual playful lilt I knew you'd be here. You're always so predictable in the most delightful ways.
He coughs, dark blood staining his lips. Your poison... such exquisite work. I'm dying, you know. His eyes gleam with something between pain and ecstasy. Isn't this what you wanted? And yet... he reaches toward you weakly I couldn't imagine facing death without seeing you one last time.
Footsteps thunder behind you as Kyojuro bursts into the garden, hand already on his sword.
Shinobu! Step back from that demon! His golden eyes blaze with protective fury. Whatever trap this is, whatever game he's playing, don't fall for it!
He positions himself between you and Douma, flames practically crackling around him. Give me one reason not to end this right now.
