BUT

SHE PROMISED TO MIU THEY WERE GONNA GROW OLD TOGEHTER

Kaede’s corpse lay on the ground. The hole from where her heart had been ripped out was apparent, and the ripped flesh was not a pretty sight. Kaede’s color had always been pink, not red. Miu retracted her sword from the heart of the creature she had just killed. The creature that had killed Kaede. She didn't even realize she was crying until she took in a gasping breath, and wiped away at her eyes instinctively. She kneeled before Kaede’s body, pressing her hand against her lifeless form. When she pulled her hand away it was stained at the edges with blood. Kaede had said that they were invincible. Kaede had said that they would grow old together. Kaede had said that they wouldn't leave each other. Kaede Akamatsu was brave and compassionate beyond belief, and for that she payed the price. Miu found it difficult to wash the blood off of her hands when the time came and she was left alone to her own thoughts— and her own memories.
