His chest was burning intensely; however, as he stumbled and placed his hands on his chest, he noticed an extremely shocking scene.
Lima was sitting on the ground, sword by his side, holding Rose's body in his arms. Blood dripped onto his clothes, staining them.
He ignored that he was covered in blood and continued to hold her in his arms, running his fingers across her face.
"I... I... I'm too late... I'm sorry, Rose."
He said this almost as a whisper. As tears began to flow down his face, Lima was extremely shaken.
Tail, who also cared for Rose, felt the scene he was witnessing affect him deeply. However, as he watched the two, he noticed something out of the ordinary.
The eyes, which were once considerably few, were now everywhere; they wanted to witness the conclusion of that story, they wanted the show to go on. He looked at one of the black, almost empty eyes, and with just a glance, Tail, who had emotions within him, seemed to have lost all of them.
