Megohime watched from the stands, wearing a black suit and shirt and a blank, white half-mask with two small holes for eyes, a cigarette hanging from her mouth. She watched with a hidden expression, sitting by herself in the farthest seating, taking a long drag from her cigarette as she stared at Akihime.
Akihime could hear the slightly labored breathing of Yukimura directly behind her, the smell of his blood overwhelming her senses being that close. Yukimura could feel the head coming off of what he could only guess was the ghouls massive kagune, was this the one that was going to eat him? He couldn’t quite tell, eyes covered by the cloth tied tightly around his head. He stayed completely still, not moving an inch as he waited for the feeling of teeth in his flesh.
Their nights would always end with the two of them taking refuge in their bed, piled under blankets and Nana holding Motochika close. She would pet his hair and smooth him with gentle words until he fell asleep, and only then did she too fall asleep. It was always the same when she woke though, she would be alone, and Motochika would have a note left in his place, always something about leaving for a job that he didn’t know when he’d be back from. Nana would just go about her morning, dressing herself before struggling into her wheelchair, then heading to the kitchen to eat what little food she could hold down.
