( Shouldn't have done that to you
Even though they were afraid


Fight, or run away, or hide. Anything, anything but the unwilling (unknowing) sacrifice of another.

The Knight made their choice, made their sacrifice, for the sake of a world they loved. Facing the end with their head held high. It was at the very least something they decided for themselves.

The kingdom my sibling was sacrificed for
They were afraid too
but it was still wrong


Begging, pleading, a sickness that would not abate...the Knight understood how they must have felt, now in the aftermath of Umui's illness more than ever.

But it was still wrong.

No matter how much illness ravaged them - if it was revealed that they needed to sacrifice another to be cured themselves, they would have not hesitated to die a second time.

Paying the price with someone else's life was a step they would never take.
