The memory flashed before his eyes.
A face covered in the cloak approached him. Erza was not cautious of him, because Erza knew that face. In that memory, he didn't remember the face but remembers how he died.
The dagger went through his heart and he was not protesting at all. Erza's expression clearly showed he was surprised by the unexpected enemy, hitting him with the small dagger. Close to his heart, blood was shadowed with the black attire he was wearing.
Aki holds his heart while the memories were playing in front of his eyes as it felt the wound was still fresh.
Aki's concentration was somewhere else so Reiji was looking at Aki while being focused on him. As Aki frowned his eyes in pain, it caught Reiji's attention.
'Are you alright?' Reiji sat beside Aki. The pain made Aki's heart feel bitter.
'I need to go.' Aki tried to leave but his face was turning pale.
