[It doesn't hurt. Hiro's concoction does its job well. It's not pain that causes Yona's breath to catch, and it's not pain that causes her to cry. It's the knowledge that there really isn't anything either of them can do to change this outcome that hurts the most.
There's something really terrifying about looking down and seeing her blood spilling out over the dagger, something distinctly wrong about her blood on his hands.]
Don't make promises you can't keep.
[Those are some pretty terrible last words.
Unfortunately, since she's gone numb, she doesn't realize that they will be her last words until they're out - and until, a moment later, she goes limp.]
I can't afford not to keep this one. [It's whispered, maybe, and he doesn't try to get her to talk any more than that. Her blood flows over his hand and down the dagger and he's excited the potion worked even if the act fills his stomach with dread.
He knows what will happen next. He'll receive a coin. He'll receive a wish. He'll have completed his objective and played right into the game. But in the end...he had to convince himself it would be worth it.
Maybe someday he'll believe it.
She goes limp in his arms and he chokes on a sob, letting the knife drop instead of her body and holding her up to continue looking at her. After a few moments, he sinks to the ground with her, sitting in the dirt and ignoring the way the blood smears over his clothes and his hands.
Who cares anymore. He did his part...let them come and find him.]
