Minehime watched Daihachi leave, petting Akihime's hair to comfort her. "A part of him knows that Yukimura-dono is gone, but he won't let himself accept it. He just needs time. I'll talk to him tonight, Oba-san, I promise." She said, frowning sadly at the sight of Akihime in such distress.
((Shit I fucking forgot to post for Nori))
Nori took a breath, then looked up at Sasuke. "Sanada is dead." She reported, feeling that even though Sasuke was dead, he would still lash out and hurt her.
In the Hall of the Dead, Yukimura's corpse lay on the stone bed where he was presented until his funeral. His skin was tinged grey, even though he had been preserved to keep from rotting, his skin still lost its pink color. His face was sunken in, and even dead, anyone could tell he had been in very poor health at the time of his death, but he didn't die from his illness. Like Akihime had said, if one were to remove the cloth wrapped around his neck, they wound expose a horrid wound- the cause of his death. He didn't look peaceful, or in pain, he looked just like any other person would if they were to consciously lay down and pretend to be dead; he looked fake.
