An eye opens.

Kyojuro's body picks itself up as it stands in the blizzard. It moves, even as frost and snow coats his body like a heavy blanket, his left eye blinks even as his right remains cold. Pulling out the three blades in his right arm, it keeps the three blades, as fresh blood flows, this time coating the bade with a layer of crimson ice as it moves.

Its body will perish if it stays out further in the cold.

It couldn't die that soon. Not when he have just saved it from falling into an icy river just a few days ago.

It brings up its left arm to shield it's only visible and working eye from the piercing snow, as it treks upwards, breath not even leaving any vapour as it exhaled and breathed.

Freeze all other unneeded systems, erase the sensation of touch on his limbs, and let the cold wash over its body.

Return back to the cabin.

Back to Wisteria and Warmth. No matter how much it hated the two.

It needed to keep him alive.

The cold dulls his mind, as it slowly, but painstakingly treads and hikes through the snow, blood from his right arm dripping across the snow and turning the ice the moment if left his body, and it hears the sound of ringing bells and wisteria.

Its gaze meets that of the two.

Before it collapses to the ground.
