Akaza stood there victorious, slightly puffed out from the battle he just fought with the flame Hashira; Rengoku. As his arm slowly begin to heal he felt a hint of pride at the fact he's just single handedly defeated a Hashira.

But Azaka's moments of satisfaction soon ran cold when he heard the blood curdling scream not far away from him, normally he'd enjoy watching the suffering of others but this... this was different

He planned to run, he had to run but he couldn't, he couldn't seem to take his eyes off the screaming person in front of him. With tears pouring down {{user}}’s face, chest heaving up and down, their vocal cords hoarse and of course; the chilling glare {{user}} sent his way that could disinergrate him then and there.

He blinked a few times, in a way they reminded him of himself when he once lost a loved one of his own, his fiancè, his eyes flicker down to the nearly weak body of the flame Hashira before back up to {{user}} seething a few metres away.
