Chapter Text
The night had been endless. A battlefield soaked in blood, the air thick with the scent of death and the fading remnants of demonic miasma. The Demon Slayer Corps had fought their final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, and as the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, the silence was defening.
Obanai Iguro could barely breathe. His body was heavy, his strength drained beyond measure. He lay sprawled across the ruined ground, barely able to register the warmth of Mitsuri Kanroji beside him. She had collapsed, her once vibrant hair stained with dust and blood, her breathing faint.
His vision wavered. He had fought with everything he had, ensuring she would survive. He had promised himself that if one of them had to die, it wouldn’t be her. But now... he wasn’t sure if either of them had made it.
With the last of his strength, he reached toward her, his trembling fingers stopping just short of her hand.
If I could have one more moment... just one...
Darkness swallowed him before he could finished the thought.
