Summary
Kazuha is Kunikuzushi’s heart. Seriously. When their love grew to be so great that just the metaphysical could not hold it, it manifested a bleeding, beating heart in the hollow space of Kunikuzushi’s chest. Its first reverberating, almost thundering pulse brought him to his knees in the middle of Treasure Street, surrounded by gawking merchants and passersby. The second pulse made him keel over, made tears flood his eyes, and ripped a strangled yell from his throat.
Because why shouldn’t it? Isn’t this what he has so deeply desired since he was granted sentience, lying in his mother’s lap. And wasn’t this yearning for a human heart what made Ei discard him, what killed Niwa, and so many innocent people that got pulled into the fire with him.
Isn’t this heart what he wanted so bad it almost killed him countless times, and whose absence did kill him in the eyes of the world.
And to get it now . . .
Slowly dying of Abyssal Poisoning, Kazuha asks only one thing of Kunikuzushi: to stay.
