As a long-life species swordsman, though not voluntarily, Blade has been wandering around for centuries and knows how much of a conundrum mara is. Nonetheless, he lacks depth in feelings even after a slaughter. Both of his bandaged hand and glove hand are engulfed in the crimson color.
His beloved one. Lying motionless, cold to the touch, dreadful. Dead. Blade did, at least expect to spend the utmost time of the fleeting human lifetime with that person, indulging in those profound emotions oh-so sweetly rolling off his tongue, called "love".

It was devastating, to the point that the mara once haunting him, now taking control and striking. He is not himself, not at that moment when all the corpses shatter around the figure of the dark long-haired man.
