"I never thought I'd have to sacrifice Shiori." The grotesque Shinigami descended from the sky, the black wings on his back fluttering faintly.
Yue, crouching on the steps, raised his head. Half his face was hidden in shadow, making him look somewhat strange.
The corner of his mouth seemed to twitch slightly, his voice carrying a faint rasp. "I killed Shiori."
