"You think they smell the same? Have you broken your nose several times and lost your sense of smell?"

“Uh, no. I just never noticed any difference.”

He's not so sure he believes her, but he's going to play along anyway. “Right.. anyway, was there a candle you wanted or something? I've never really been into that kind of stuff.”

"Most boys aren't."

He feels like he's being insulted somehow. “Okay… so did you decide which one you wanted? What's even the difference? They all kind of smell the same.”

"I know... I was being coy." She did not, in fact, notice.

“I've been standing here for the past five minutes.”

Nozomi jumpscare! He stops for a second and stares at her. “Haha.. yeah… you're probably right. I was really craving something sweet, and then I realized I hadn't eaten, so..”

♘ — 𝐍𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 .

He didn't have his sight anymore. He had purged himself of his righteous eyes. The defect still plagued his other senses. Scent, sound, maybe even taste. He could burn his nose, gouge out his eyes. Anything to limit the effect the glitch had on him. He was so tired of being alone.

So he forced himself along on this exploration with Takumi. He tried to keep his spirits up. To pretend the other wasn't merely tolerating him. He could still hold his own, appear like there was nothing scary about walking in total darkness.

They were exploring the ruins, looking for something. Eito felt useless without his eyes in this moment. He couldn't help Takumi dig around in the ruins looking for a specific item. All he could do was stand there and listen.

And that's why he heard it. Footsteps. Not of a person, but of an invader. One of the big ones. Takumi was too focused on the search. Eito tried to pinpoint exactly how far away it was. But before he could even get the words out, he realized it wasn't walking.

It was running. Straight to Takumi. Eito couldn't see, but he could hear it perfectly. Running, what direction is was coming from. He moved quickly to intercept it before it attacked Takumi. But his timing was a little off.

It dug its claws deep into his stomach. That's when Takumi seemed to realize what happened. A whimper fell out of his lips. He tried to swing his scythe, but his arms felt too heavy. He didn't even realize he had dropped it until he heard it hit the ground.

And next thing he knew, it lifted him. Claws were buried so deep that went it flung him away, it tore three huge gashes in his body. The pain was unbearable. He hit the wall of the old building, wood collapsed on top of him. He didn't even scream.

The sounds of a struggle. Maybe his name. Eito was on the edge of passing out, holding on by a thread. For a moment, he slips into deeper darkness. The sudden sound of something above him woke up. The shelving that had covered him. Takumi's awful voice reached him. Oh... Good. He was safe.

"T-Takumi-kun...? Sorry, I..." Eito's pain tolerance was higher than average. Maybe he was made that way so he'd be more useful. It didn't matter. The sheer amount of pain made him keenly aware of the fact that he was dying. "I don't... think I can... walk."

It was a blessing that he couldn't see the damage. The pain alone was maddening. He was shaking, rapidly flashing between hot and cold. He could only imagine how terrible the wounds were.

Right when he was about to tell Takumi to leave him... He says he's going to lift him. He really wasn't worth the risk. After all... He was a traitor. He could almost laugh or cry. All of that just to... Die like this? At least he managed to do one worthwhile thing in his entire short life. Saving Takumi.

"Stop... No." He couldn't see how gross Takumi looked anymore, so the fear was reduced ever so slightly. But he knew he would just slow him down.

"Nnng!" Takumi picked him up and Eito choked. Blood poured out of his mouth. The smaller boy had him on his back. He was dying. If they could get back quickly enough, he might be able to die and be revived. But... That would require Takumi to risk himself and Eito to survive most of the journey.

"Just... Just leave me... I... I'm not..." He's not worth the risk. Takumi had shown himself to be too kind to Eito so many times. It was too much... He... he needed to give up on him.

"I... I won't make it... Just... Take my crytoglobin...." At least then he'd be a part of the person he.... He...

“No, I'm not doing that.” He didn't mince his words. There wasn't any time. Eito was heavy, but Takumi thankfully had the strength to lift him. In good conscience, he couldn't leave Eito to die, let alone take his Cryptoglobin. No, they'll make it back to the school, he'll get revived and everything will be fine. That's what Takumi told himself as he began rushing back in the direction of the school. “You're gonna be okay, I promise. Just hang in there!"

It was true that Eito was a traitor. He would have done everything he could to achieve his goals, however sick and twisted Takumi thought they were. But it was also true that Eito wanted to do everything he could to make up for his past mistakes. Despite not fully trusting him, Takumi didn't have it in him to just let the other die. He would have done the same for any of their other friends if it were them instead. Surely, if it were anyone else, Takumi would feel the same amount of heartache at the thought of losing them like he does now.

The ruins felt endless, time moved so painfully slow despite hi moving as fast as he could. How far out did they go? It couldn't have been that far. How careless he was to not even pay enough attention to his surroundings. Eito will likely scold him later after his revival. He can practically hear it now.

He sees the school up ahead, and that only makes Takumi move faster. They were almost there, just a little further and past the wall of fire, and they would be home free. “Aotsuki, say something. Stay with me! We're almost there so.. Don't die on me!”
