Kobayashi Teito suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat out blood. He found it extremely difficult to walk even a single step. It was as if he were a balloon pricked by a needle, his energy crazily leaking out.
He looked down, unable to comprehend how the knife that was supposed to be thrust forward had ended up stabbing him.
Kobayashi Teito wanted to look up and question Dio about what he had done, but he lacked the strength to lift his head or even ask why.
Weakness and coldness spread from his heart to his body like a tide.
Kobayashi Teito, who thought he feared nothing, suddenly found himself yearning to live at that moment.
Even if he had no possessions, even if he became a tramp wandering the streets, he wanted to keep living.
"URGH, AH..." Muffled and unclear words came from Kobayashi Teito's mouth as his strong desire to live disappeared into the darkness encroaching on his consciousness. He fell forward.
