[The blade plunges deep into Axel's back, and he arches, a scream spiraling up into agonized falsetto as blood mixes with the purple goo spewing from the wound. He collapses.
The ayakashi body steams, beginning to dissolve from the outside in, leaving a human body curled at the center of it. There's blight covering every inch of visible skin. Black smoke spirals up from the wounds scattered across his body: bitten shoulder, slashed arms and torso, and the deep stab wound between his ribs.
He doesn't speak; he's beyond that.
One last, shuddering breath sighs out of him, and all of his flesh goes to smoke at once, dissolving on the still indoor air.]
