CW: DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLNESS, MULTIPLE REFERENCES TO DEATH . . . . . . . . . . . . . it started as an ache in his joints. much like the way his broken tail hurt every morning, but duller. darker. he stayed in his nest that morning, shaking his head to those who graciously offered him food. for two and a half nights, he sat there, barely moving, barely breathing. he couldn’t muster up the anger or the sadness to realize what was happening. between coughing fits, he could only get a few words out to the few cats left he still cared about. “is your training going well?” “new kits, you said?” “of course we’re fighting again.” “don’t worry about me, it won’t change anything.” on the last night, he knew his time was drawing to a close. he couldn’t keep his eyes open long enough to see the world around him, only noticing the swimming navy of the twilight hours. when someone finally came close enough to hear his whisper, he spoke again. “bury me in blue.”
song: different formations by war violet blue spiderlilies (AKA amaryllis) will symbolize sanguine in his death. if sangi was important to your character, the flowers can be used as (non-canon) accessories. the chosen flower is not a demon slayer reference in case anyone’s wondering, it’s actually a reference to the AWESOME horror visual novel “7 rumors” go play it if you can handle ghosts
