Short summary: Akihiro lingers at Taiga's side after their reunion.
Akihiro lingers.
He should pull away. The medicine is working. Taiga is asleep. He’s already felt Taiga’s slow, steady heartbeat with his own hands. Taiga won’t wake up again until tomorrow. And yet…
In that bed his beloved Taiga rests. His Taiga whose will is so strong. His Taiga who makes him feel so weak.
Akihiro knows how close he was to losing Taiga. The fear remains even after such a passionate reunion. Even now knowing the true extent of Taiga’s devotion. Because something can part them. Death comes for everyone, but…
Akihiro leaves, finally, after swearing to become stronger.
