𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐈𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐖 , since yuuji took up the weight of the world and settled it on his shoulders ? since his grandfather's dying wish had become the thing that keeps him going , keeps him tethered to this world despite  everything  he  has  lost  ? since he ate that rotting finger and his entire world had been flipped upside down in mere moments . . he is so worn out , a realization he hasn't allowed to hit him until now , for he fears that when he does , it'll be that much harder to rise beneath the weight of it once more. but he has to , so when the time comes , he  knows  he  will. for now , his head slumps against choso's shoulder as if he can no longer support it himself , the air rattling in his lungs as he inhales slowly. his exhaustion runs so deep that it settles in his very bones. just rest. it's a simple enough task , if there wasn't some level of guilt threatening to consume him at all times ; he doesn't protest though , not with the knowledge that he needs this rest in order to improve , to grow stronger , so he can save his  classmates ,   his  friends ,   the  world. ��� i'm so tired. ❞ the words are a mere whisper on his lips and he's positive the heaviness of them can be felt , allows it to settle over him like a cold embrace. eyelids fall to a close and he loses himself in the rapid thumping of his heartbeat in his own ears . . . a painful reminder of how alive he is , still breathing and living when so many others are not.
