    Summary

    The demon pulled away and, after a moment, finally rose to its feet. Kyojuro watched as it returned to the open door and then stopped, turning back to meet his gaze.

    “Don’t die, Kyojuro.”

    What right did it have to say that to him? Kyojuro might have laughed, but something about the way it said those words sucked any malice from his thoughts.

    It wasn’t an order, but it wasn’t a request either.

    “If I live, Demon, it will not be for you.”

    Upper Moon Three nodded and left.

    ---

    Kyojuro’s life is plagued by Death. It hovers over his shoulder, watches his every move, and patiently waits for the day it will take him by the hand and lead him to the next life.

    Upper Moon Three thinks it can ward away Death with three words. It’s naive. Unrealistic. A promise that cannot be kept. And yet the demon continues to return, and Kyojuro is still alive.

    The least he can do is try to keep it that way.
