Skill - Blood Rain
As the blood rain came to an end, the sun's rays shone brightly in a new day, marking the beginning of the second day of the Apocalypse for those who endured the initial chaos and survived.
Despite the sun coming up and more than an hour passing by, Haru and Aki still remained inseparable from each other.
Haru, without uttering a word, tenderly caressed Aki's hair as her faint breathing indicated she had drifted into sleep while clinging to him and he did not disturb her.
During the time, Haru's tears ceased to fall but mingled with the blood on his face, showcasing to what all he went through. Despite the profound emotional turmoil he endured—loss, manipulated, hurt, and ultimately betrayed—his heart found solace with Aki's support.
Although Aki couldn't communicate verbally, her inability to speak didn't hinder her instincts in conveying emotions emanating from the depths of her soul to Haru, who was in pain.
