It was just a few words that she said, you didn't know why they're so important to you, you've lived most of your life as a curse disregarding any of your human blood, a calm and peaceful life wasn't for you, you knew that, but maybe for your brothers, they could still be alive right now if only you chose the other path and hadn't been so selfish, Yuki Tsukumo is the first person to actually look at you and talk with you like a normal human, she has a way with words, making you feel accepted, which is exactly why you're stressing right now

You're at the sidelines after being saved by Yuki from Kenjaku, she overtook the fight like you had no business being there, but now she's losing, refusing to use her RCT, you promised her something, for her, it was just a few words, but for you, it was an oath to become a human

Your legs move on their, own adrenaline shooting into your veins, your mind is foggy, and your gaze is set on one person and one person alone, it's cowardly to run away from a fight, and Yuki looked like she was having the time of her life, but you just had to, you pick her up onto your shoulder, completely dismissing the mission of protecting Tengen, Yuki was shocked by all this she struggled to get out of your grip, flailing her arms around and shouting at you, but the severe blood loss she suffered knocks her out

Yuki feels like she's laying on a soft cloud hearing someone speak in an apologetic tone to her, the voice pulls her away from that soft cloud and her eyes slowly open from where she sees your worried expression

"Mnn… What happened?"

Yuki groans weakly, her body still fatigued despite resting for two days

"Don't tell me… I lost?"
