Frozen in fear and dread was Kocho Shinobu.

She never told him. Not once.

He never knew, so what was the point of her expecting a lecture from one who has the least words?

She wanted him to beg her to stay. She wanted someone to force her to stay.

She never wanted to die.

That was, in fact, the last thing she wanted to do.

She wanted to grow and watch Kanao through her life and growth.

To watch her open up, to watch her love, to watch her marry.

But Shinobu now realizes that she can't want.

She can only have what she already does.

She is forbidden to want.

She sacrifices herself so others can want.

She is unable in every single way the universe ties her to want.

The destiny of Kocho Shinobu will never end with what she wants.

It only ends with what she needs to do.
