[ He realizes his mistake a moment too late. It was there, in his eyes, the fear of a shinki.... Izumo...
The flames run across his skin, spilling through but contained. He has control but for how long? The truth of his end is already affecting him, and worse, he can't even apologize. Not without making things worse than he's already done.
He turns away, breaking eye contact. Izumo gave up too much already in their last life, he wouldn't let him do it again in this one. So, he walks away without a word, every step feeling like knives cutting into his skin. But in the end, it was better this way. ]
