Nimbus Summit the debts of ukiyo

now feeling obligated, satsu swallows the last of the morsel she has taken for herself and seeks the carcass for more. she is mindful of the goliath shape that is the daimyo.
as she works to strip a suitable portion away, gone are the practiced movements, the confidences discovered during their hunt together;
this is not work meant for her. cutting too deep too fast causes the coagulating blood to seep out, to stain. raw pink flesh turned carmine.
startled by the sight of it satsu hurries and only makes further mess of things. as she comes away with her share she feels the cooling blood upon her cheeks and throat. she is oddly calm despite her earlier struggle, and breathes deeply, steadying her mind.
