He remembered the day he first saw her.
She was breathtaking.
He felt as if his worries were all gone.
It was as if he was living in a peaceful world.

"𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐛𝐲𝐞,"
those words ran through his ears as he watched her having a sad smile on her face. Her feet starting to burn off as the sunlight reaches them first, and he could feel his heart pounding hard against his chest.
"[NAME]!" he yelled out as he grabbed hold of his mismatched haori, running over to her quickly as Kanae appeared behind her with a syringe in her hand. Without a delay did she inject it quickly on the side of her neck as the burning continued.
He ran over, haori in his hand as he wrapped it around her body, carrying her in his arms as he quickly took off running to seek for shelter. His heart pounding hard against his chest as he felt her cold body against his.
"Please, stay with me," he whispered out and felt [name] shifting in his arms.
"No, don't go to sleep," he whispered out once more as he watched her eyes slowly shut and he could feel her body going limp in his hold. His lips trembled as he managed to find some sort of shelter in the alleyway, and he leaned against the wall.

His dark blue hues could only widen then as her feet were still slowly burning off.
"[name]... I can't lose you too... No... No..." he whispered out.

He stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking up to the sky where the snow was gently raining upon them. His hand stretched out as his palm faced up, allowing the snow to gently fall against his warm skin.
His lips parted as he let out a shaky breath, and soon he let out a sigh as he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned to look, noticing how Kanae, Sanemi and Obanai were present behind him, each with something in their hands.
He slowly nodded his head and they could only force some smiles on their faces as they proceeded to follow him, walking down a particular pathway that was now covered in nothing but the snow.
"How are you feeling?" Kanae asked in a soft voice.
"I'm alright," Giyuu answered, whereas Sanemi and Obanai decided to remain silent as they continued to walk through the winter wonderland of the forest, heading towards an estate that was all too familiar to them.
