[Issei's voice is breathy and unsteady. Understandable.]

...It seems I was reckless...

There are people we know - Shadows, maybe, or else brainwashed real ones - who might attack you, so, be careful. And, someone please find my body from near Caliban, don't just - leave me here.

...It was Emiya, I couldn't... I couldn't possibly hurt him.

[Issei will not be responding to this post, and action prompts will indeed find his body near Caliban with a large stab wound in his stomach.]

[Saori doesn't even bother to respond to the post as she begins her race for Issei. Damnit she wasn't going to let another person die like this! When she does see him, she rushes to him.]

Hang in there, Issei.

[All the Diarama spamming possible.]

[He already knows how to Dia himself (though he did run out of energy as well), he's past that point by the time he gets there.

Good show, though. He'll thank her for it.]

[While she's trying to heal him up, she hears the sounds of a shadow nearby. Of course if there was one nearby, there was always a chance ore would follow especially given their current location. ]

Great. Just what we needed. Gotta get you back to the shop.

[Parkouring with someone who's heavily injured wouldn't be the greatest idea so they have no choice but to hoof it by foot. She tries to help Issei to stand up but even she's unsure if he could last that long.]

[He leans heavily upon her, muttering something like 'sorry...' then goes limp.]

Shhh, easy. Focus on recovering, okay? Last thing we need is your wounds to reopen.

[Uh oh a limp Issei is not a good thing. Rather than carry him princess style, she'll spare his dignity and have him piggback her. Probably not Issei's shining moments ever but it'll be worth it in the long run. All in the mean time she throws in a healing spell from time to time between a few fire spells to ward off any shadows.]

[Issei's breathing is harsh and shallow, and though the healing spells help briefly, they seem to be only warding off the inevitable.]

C'mon Issei... Just stay with me.

[She's lost track of how many Diarama she's been using but even her energy was depleted. The fact it didn't seem to build up to anything made her panic. ]

Give me a sign you're still here. Anything. Please just... Don't go out on me....

[Silence, and his breathing slows to nothing.]

[She doesn't utter a word but just start a silently sobbing. When she ran out of years, she carried back to the upstairs base in her shop and gently placed him on the couch while she say on the floor, staring at the ceiling.]
