"M...! Mipha!" She heard the shriek of his voice, a sound so terrifying she hadn't heard it before.

He cradled her limp body, which was covered with wine red blood, soaking the hero's clothing.

'Why didn't he hold me like this while we were both together?' Mipha wondered. Then she realized, it doesn't matter. She was dead, anyways.

She died for a different reason. For taking a step too far across the line.
