Haru looks around for the source of the voice until he sees a vision of his mother once again. He could feel the sadness starting to overwhelm his anger.
"I can't win." Haru speaks with sadness in his voice.
I've been trying to convince myself that I can win this battle but there's no way to compete with a god. Amaterasu told me I needed to reach such a high level that I'd be considered a demi-god.
That strength is something I haven't been able to achieve during this entire fight against Shiro. My body is starting to feel light, the damage that was done to me is too much for me to handle.
"You've got a long way to go still Haru. Think about Lena, Mai, and even Mizuno, who would protect them?" Mom's voice echoes around him.
She always shows up when I'm in these situations, why is it always when I'm about to die? I know that I've been the main person protecting them from everything lately but that doesn't mean it has to be me.
