    Summary

    If someone were to come across her skeleton one day, her bones picked clean by wolves and carrion, they would find neither daughter nor son. Neither wife nor widow. Not a mongrel, or a monster. Just an empty mortal shell, like the shed skin of a cicada, swallowed up by the forest.
     
    Mizu could not decide whether the thought was a source of dread or comfort, but she let out a feeble chuckle all the same.
    /
    “I know you wish to help, Akemi-sama. But you must steel your heart to such matters. You cannot simply save every half-dead vagabond you find by the side of the road.”

    “I know. I know that... But at the very least, permit me to save just this one. She looks about my age. She could have been me, Seki,” Akemi’s voice trembled with emotion. “Enrobed in white and covered in dirt… maybe she ran away from home, or fled her brute of a husband.”

    AU where Mizu met Akemi in the aftermath of Mikio's betrayal, at Mizu's bleakest point and they fall for each other.
