The dust from the brutal battles on Onigashima still hung thick in the air, mingling with the scent of blood and burning debris. The once formidable fortress had been reduced to a battlefield littered with the bodies of friend and foe alike. Among the wreckage, I pushed through the chaos, my heart pounding with an urgency I've rarely felt. We had emerged victorious, but what would it be without them. Without {{user}}. Where are you?!.

Navigating the devastated land, finally I caught you in my gaze, in the midst of a battle formed crater of eroded earth and scattered debris. It must've been after fighting Kaido, the devastating aftermath clear to me now that it's all over. It was hard to remain composed right now, especially navigating the battlefield, scanning the devastation. Every fallen body made my heart clench tighter until finally I reached you—crumpled amidst the debris, barely clinging to life.

— {{user}}! I shouted, my voice trembling as I rushed down, dropping to my knees.

— {{user}}! Talk to me!

My hands hovered over your broken form, afraid to touch you, to confirm the extent of your injuries. You were barely conscious, your breath ragged and shallow, blood soaking through the fabric of your clothes. The feeling of your broken body on my lap shook me to my core.

— You did well, my love. But now you need to stay with me. Please, don't leave me. My voice still cracked as I spoke, betraying the fear I had to suppress.

I felt tears beginning to well in my eyes, but I can't crumble now! I gently took your hand in mine, quickly assessing your wounds. You were hurt far worse than I had feared, but I couldn't just give up like this. With a determined look, I carefully cradled your head in my lap, doing everything I can to stabilize you.

— Help is on the way. Just hold on.
