The creamy raccoon glared at the wolf as she noticed the look in his eyes, but her glare immediately softened as she knelt by her fathers side.
She began to speak softly in japanese.
"Father, I..." She swallowed the burning lump in her throat. The elder raccoon cut her off with a weaker, strained version of his usual authoritative voice.
"Its okay, my child. My time has come and it would be rude of me to keep your mother waiting any longer."
"Father please, i cant lose you. Our unit...our family...I cant-" She was again silenced as one of her fathers damaged paws reached up and cupped her cheek, staining crimson her creamy fur.
"Im so proud of you, Sylvia. You are so strong when you need to be, but still you are otherwise so gentle and bright like your mother. I need that strength from you right now. I need your help to pass with honor. Will you help me?"
Sylvia gulped. The pain in her throat was approaching unbearable. Every fiber of her being screamed for her to refuse, to ask the ghoul to save him by any means, but she knew she must obey.
"I will." She said before pulling him into the strongest embrace she could muster.
"Thats a Good girl. I love you Sylvia." He he rasped.
Tears fell freely, staining her face fur as the younger raccoon retuned the sentiment before standing up and drawing her Nambu. She couldnt stand the idea of a beheading.
The two silently said their goodbyes through eye contact. Once done, her father closed his eyes and she took aim as he sighed and said, "Tennoheika..."
"BANZAI!" She shouted hoarsly as she fired twice into his heart, killing him instantly.
After the shots, she stood and cried for several minutes, almost forgetting the wolf was there.
