[ souji is far from someone who needs help, but as soon as the first few drops hit the ground, that's when he knew he's in trouble. the last time he'd had a single drop of blood to drink had been—he can't even remember, weeks ago, it feels like months ago even more so now. the hunger twists and turns, grabs his chest in a vice-like grip that he almost suffocates.

Okita-san, what's wrong!
