[Sooyoung takes her gamble. The iron spike of pain that punches through her, following the arc of Joonghyuk's blade, is the result. She grabs onto the metal reflexively, uncaring of how it bites into the palm of her hand, then reaches forward --
and immediately slumps, strength already draining away. The golden shimmer of Yoo Joonghyuk's shard winks back at her, but instead of feeling bitter at her loss -- the shine of it comforts her, just a little. ...Maybe it's a sign that he still has a chance, that the Kenoma hasn't gotten its hooks into him. If anyone can resist -- then it'd be him, right?]
...Fuck. [blood salts the back of her teeth,] This is -- really...
[embarrassing?????? after all her big talk about saving him... after what she'd said to dokja, in her attempt to rouse him.... huh.... this is her second time dying in front of kim dokja, isn't it...
that guy... it's too bad. she kind of wants to see his face. you know, just in case this really is the end?
which, again, would be totally embarrassing if it is.
(so it better not be. i need to pay this bastard back. ...both of them.)
she breathes once, twice, then stops. the slant of her head droops over, hair falling back to reveal the reddish black shard located behind her ear, pristine despite the blood staining the rest of her.]
