Suguru drifted into a deep dark sleep of obsidian. His body aching, breaking and mending over and over as he rested in his sleep.

As if switching a screen on, a sudden blinding white light had formed, it mellowed out, focusing slowly onto a figure. As he watched, Geto felt himself get sucked into this visage. Before he could comprehend further, he was sitting in a beautiful glade. Flowers of different kinds he never saw before, with scents and colours so beautiful he had no words were sprawled around.

The sky was a pretty shade of baby blue, the colour bringing a sense of calm down all around him.

But the best view to behold was a lady that stood a few meters away, she stood wearing a white flowing dress, it was long enough to have a trail and drag around when she moved. It had long bell sleeves, and a high V neckline. It looked as if she wore, a cape? cloak? dress? He couldn't tell.

Her hair blew, mystically even though there was no breeze. The atmosphere exuding tranquility, providing solace to wounded hearts and withered souls.

In this moment he had forgotten about everything in his life. All the pain, the regrets, the dissapointment.

He forgot all about the trauma and hurt.

He was peaceful, happy. A feeling of liberation coursed through his veins and being.

The woman turned to show her ethereal smiling face. "Akari!" He exclaimed excited in his head. He couldn't open his mouth to shout or call for her.

She smiled beautifully at him, a glow dawning her face when she smiled, although the sadness in her eyes couldn't be missed. A look of woe graced her eyes, almost as if she had to make a decision she didn't favor and make peace with the outcome. Choose the smaller poison to swallow.

That wisdom and knowledge did not sit well, with Geto. It meant she knew what was happening and went with it.

Time slowed down in this realm. It was felt as if time wasn't even present. Everything was relaxed, even gravity felt lax.

"Suguru..." she said, voice soft and sweet like always. It had a pain laced in it.
At this point, words formed, shakily for him, "A-Are you.... y-y-you going to -" she shook her head silencing him, not wanting him to say it. Her eyes glassy with emotion that she held back.

She let out a pained, restrained sigh, but he didn't hear any sound. She crouched gracefully down next to him, where he sat. "I don't want to leave you..... I only just met you... I should have -" she stopped mid sentence, clenching her eyes shut. She opened them, delicate lids fluttering open like dainty petals.

"I never wanted you know pain, or feel it. Sacrificing myself is something I don't regret except... now you'd be there, and I am here..." she gestured behind him and then waved her hand around her surroundings.

He shook his head in dismay, "I won't let you go, it's not late yet! I can't live without you. I am good because of you!"

Akari smiled, a tear sliding down, the last of her human feelings and emotions dwindling away.
