• Oneshot • Minato always hid himself away from everyone. He couldn't feel scared of them dying if he didn't care for them. He wouldn't. Yet he had, he'd let them in and was stuck fearing them dying. Yet... He was the one dying now. They'd left him alone. Maybe on purpose, maybe not. He was already exhausted from battling to survive when more of the Shadows neared, far too many for him to survive this. He had meant to summon Orpheus, yet another heeded his call. Thanatos.
