Two sides

💮

Inside Y/N and Muzan’s mind...

The sun bathed the horizon in soft golds and oranges, the ocean stretching endlessly with a calm, soothing rhythm.

Y/N let out a slow breath, her gaze drawn to the water.

'Kairi…'
Her thoughts lingered, replaying the last words, the relief in her voice, the way her suffering had ended not with screams but with peace.

But the beach was not wholly hers.

Beyond the line of the shore, the world split.

On the other side, where Muzan resided, the sand was black and coarse, the sea stagnant and silent beneath a starless sky.

There was no warmth, no wind, only a void of stillness, oppressive and suffocating.

Y/N could see him there, standing on that deadened stretch of beach.

He did not cross into her light, but his presence was undeniable.

Their worlds pressed against each other like two sides of a mirror.

She bent down, letting the warm surf lap at her hands.

'Kairi’s voice… she was at peace at the very end.'

She trusted me, even with you inside my head.

From across the divide, Muzan’s figure remained silent, but his eyes glowed faintly.

He did not intrude, not yet.

The contrast between them was sharp, Y/N’s beach was alive, brimming with sound and warmth, while Muzan’s was muted and endless.

Two realities coexisting in the same mind, bound together by the same body, yet forever separate.

Y/N closed her eyes and let the sound of her waves drown out the silence of his.

For a fleeting moment, she allowed herself to grieve, to breathe, to feel human again, while Muzan watched from the void, unblinking.

The air in the room grew still as Muzan entered, her presence impossible to ignore.

She was elegance incarnate, long black hair glistening like silk, her pale skin glowing faintly in the dim light.

But unlike the suffocating terror she so often exuded, tonight her aura was softer, calmer, almost soothing.
