[KIYOMI]
"...I'm sorry I can't go to the cemetery to say goodbye officially, because if I go, I might just burn this realm down. And I can't disappoint you again. I can't afford to make you look bad in front of anyone.
"You're an angel, my sweet Elif, and I will always remember you," Kiyomi said, her tears pooling once again. She hated that this was happening, that this was what she had to ask, and that she hadn't been strong enough to fight for Elif when she was alive.
But even if she could fight, Sakura surprised her that day.
Sakura had ambushed her nose and snapped Elif's neck in an instant. It felt like the worst day of her life, and there was nothing she could do. Especially when her breath of life never worked.
Kiyomi had hated herself since then, even worse than she hated herself for being the only survivor of the house Kimura. But back then, she was just a girl trying to survive the storm. She ran away because she was too broken to fight.
