Chapter Text

Fuyuhiko stared forward. He couldn't see out of his right eye, and he felt pain all over his body. It wouldn't be until later that he learned it was from injuries and not the loss of Peko.

He had failed her. She had done everything she could to protect him, and it was his fault she died. If he had thought through what he was doing if he hadn't planned on... It was too late now. There was nothing he could do. She was dead, and it was all his fault. He knew what she would say, and how she'd want him to move on, but he would do that later. He just wanted to stay here forever, mourning her. He could never move on, but when the others arrived he'd have to do something. They wouldn't leave him alone anymore. For Peko's sake, and for theirs, he would try and cope. But that was later, for now, he wallowed in his misery.
