22nd Candid Photo

[Hachibe spent most of Christmas locked in his room crying after receiving his gift.  Finally, a phone call goes out to the town, completely unfiltered.  He doesn't bother answering anyone who tries to respond.]

"...Iroha.  I'm sorry."

[Afterward, he staggers downstairs to the kitchen, grabbing a kitchen knife and plunging it deep into his gut.  He spends his last few minutes wandering through the house spilling blood everywhere before heading outside, collapsing against the side of the house to bleed out in the front yard.  Feel free to happen upon him in his sorry state as he coughs up blood and laughs bitterly.]

"It... it was my fault that you..."

[coughs up some blood, reaching out with both hands directly toward her chest]

Please, do not strain yourself. We need to find you a doctor.

*She's now wondering why his hands are reaching for her chest*

[Normally he'd be able to restrain himself from this sort of thing, but the shock of what he's been through today and the loss of blood have left him with less than stellar judgement. So yeah - terrible idea though it is, Hachibe's going for a full-on grope over here.]

"Y-you're okay... right?"

*Iroha doesn't know what to do. He's dying and he's... groping her?! She pulls his hands away in embarrassment*

I am fine, and please do not do that!

[Hachibe's completely out of it now, just smiling and blushing at her.]

"You're an angel, aren't you, Iroha?"

[He coughs again, spitting up some blood.]

"You died because of me, and you came to get me..."

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I am alive, Hachibe-san. You're going to be okay.

*Just ignore the occasional feather that appears to drop from her body. Crane feathers and all...*

I do not want to leave, but you need a doctor. I will be back soon.

She puts his hands over the wound before leaving*

[He nods, smiling very serenely as she heads off to get help.]

"I'm... sorry."
