Haruka couldn't see what was going on and it's not like any one was filling her in anyway. She had a pretty horrifying mental map going out but it sounded like Taue and Kasubata were still alive? No one was freaking out and the adults seemed to be continuing on plan.
...Whether they wanted to or not.
Haruka's face subtly darkened, even as she took the blade put into her free hand. There was a subtle tension across her whole body and an angry aura that was never there. She held her cane tightly.
And then she dropped it, letting it clatter to the floor.
Her eyes were open and though her eyes weren't focused, there was a very calm anger there meant specifically for the adults watching them. There wasn't any of her usual quips this time.
Instead, she quickly took the wakizashi, turned it with surprising ease, and drove it into her chest.
She couldn't remember anything that hurt so much. All she could think was 'fuckfuckfuckno... and the stray thought that wondered if they'd be happy with her corpse. She let out a strangled cry, eyes wide, and stumbled backwards, starting to fall, as the blade fell out of her hands and from her chest. Her hand blindly reached for something-
But before she hit the ground, it was like time stopped for a moment.
She felt oddly warm...not like what you heard in movies and books about death..
And she thought she could hear a barking somewhere, calling her...
A force pushed in her mind, over and over and over again...and it all kept saying one word...until it slipped out unconsciously...
"Per...sona...?"
She hit the ground and jerked and all the sudden, everything felt warm and okay. A large dog* with red eyes and symbols over its fur stood over top her for moment, sniffing Haruka for a moment before turning back to the adults with a snarl before disappearing into blue light.
Haruka, meanwhile, was left on the ground and still gasping for air, barely conscious and still struggling to fully grasp what happened.
