Angst ObaMitsu Scenario
*HOLY SHIT. THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS. THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS. ALL ANIMES-ONLY OR NON-COMPLETE MANGAS! PLEASE CLICK AWAY OR YOU’LL BE SPOILED*
Anyway. Re-read the ObaMitsu’s death panels and thought to myself. What would it be like if only one died, instead of both; So here is this very depressing scenario(s) I made up at 2am. I’m sorry, ObaMitsu fans.
Probably not the best thing to write as the first ObaMitsu post but whatever
Needed Warnings; mention of depression, mention of obsession, mention of seppkuku, mention of death, mention of mental health problems
If only Mitsuri died
Obanai woke up almost two months ago and is recovering finely
But Mitsuri hasn’t. She still hasn’t woken up
Obanai sticks by her bed everyday. Just hoping that she’ll spring back up any minute
He forgets to look after himself. He can’t continue whilst knowing Mitsuri is still so vulnerable and hurt
Giyuu has to drag him out of the room and pin him down so the girls can check up on her
It doesn’t work. Obanai breaks in and pushes Aoi off Mitsuri as she attempts to put a blanket over her. He is a complete mess but he needs to know what’s going on
Aoi sighs weakly. “I… I’m so sorry, Iguro-san. Kanroji-san… has passed away…”
Passed away? No. No. No. She must be joking
“We believe she did last night” “No… she can’t be… you have to be wrong!” Aoi only lowers her head
Obanai breaks down into a hysterical anger-mixed-sorrow fit. He refuses to believe Aoi is right but deep down, knows she is
Why did he have to survive and not Mitsuri? Why does he always end up escaping death when he deserves it?
Why couldn’t have he been the one who died?!
Giyuu, Sanemi and Tanjiro have to drag Obanai out, once again but this time, kicking and screaming
Eventually. Obanai cries
And he cries his heart out. The first time he has ever experienced such emotion
He gave everything he had to Mitsuri. And now, she won’t be on this earth to enjoy life with him
What’s the point of living anymore? He couldn’t stop the death of a person he loves so dearly
There is only two reasons Obanai won’t commit seppuku. One, Kaburamaru is far too important to him and two, Mitsuri always tells him to push forward
Every night. His dreams only consist of Mitsuri. Meeting him in the beautiful Sakura tree pathway they promised to find each other again in and pushing forward that he doesn’t take his life
“Wait! Obanai! Don’t do that to yourself! Stay alive. Please. I need you to! I— …I hate this too but do it for me. Won’t you?”
Obanai returns to the Serpent Estate broken in all forms for good. Sure, life is now much safer with the eradicating of demons but it isn’t colourful without Mitsuri
His world is monochrome. His eyes are basically dead, his voice is dark and lifeless. He is depressed
Obanai takes Mitsuri’s belongings. Every single thing she owned. Her katana, her uniform, her favourite hairclips, the keys to her estate, her cats. The Love Estate will end up empty
He protects her belongings like his life depends on it
Obanai looks after Mitsuri’s cats as intently as he looks after Kaburamaru
Obanai makes Sakura Mochi in his spare time. He never liked it but for Mitsuri, he started pushing himself to liking it
Obanai visits Mitsuri’s grave daily to sit in front of it and eat the Mochi he made
He pretends Mitsuri is talking to him. He nods and responds to nothing. He claims he can hear her talking
Whilst he can’t see anymore, no thanks to the irreversible damage of his eyes, he sees Mitsuri all the time
He is growing mentally unwell, the more he keeps up this routine. He is getting a bit obsessed with keeping Mitsuri in his life
He snatched Mitsuri’s fixed haori from Aoi and wears it over his shoulders all the time
He likes to pretend that Mitsuri married him. So, he sometimes calls the imaginary Mitsuri he talks to “my wife”
Obanai is more aggressive and sour after Mitsuri’s death. He can’t see himself making connections ever again. He is barely hanging on
He’ll live the rest of his broken life completely alone. No new love or no new friend. Just him, Kaburamaru and Mitsuri’s grave
No woman can match Mitsuri. They’re all pathetic, he can’t stand another woman after he lost the woman of his dreams
If only Obanai could sense the way Mitsuri cuddles his side. Her spirit, clings to him everytime he sits at her grave
Obanai always leaves beautiful rose bouquets and bowls of Mitsuri’s favourite ramen at her grave. Their always gone when he returns the next day
Obanai truly isn’t alone. Mitsuri is always following him around and pressing kisses on his forehead every night
Obanai, truthfully, is trapped inbetween fantasy and reality. Inbetween acknowledging that Mitsuri has crossed the rainbow bridge but yet refusing to admit in favour of pretending Mitsuri is still alive
Obanai treasures all the letters Mitsuri wrote about him. Sure, he can’t read them on his own anymore(Kaburamaru reads them for him) and he ends up crying and crumbling onto the floor
All he wants is Mitsuri back
If only Obanai died
Mitsuri wakes up in a hospital bed. She survived? But. What about Obanai?
Obanai… he isn’t in the room with her. Where is he?
She desperately climbs her way out of bed and clings onto the walls to walk through the hallway. She is in so much pain but she needs to see him
Busting into the other hospital room, Mitsuri is shocked by the sight before her
The Butterfly Assistants and Aoi are surrounding Obanai, putting a blanket over his resting body
“No! Wait! Stop! What are you doing?!” Mitsuri stumbles over when running to the bed and her head bumps against Obanai’s shoulder
Her heart almost stops and her eyes widened in fear
His bare skin is cold. He didn’t make any noise nor move
“I’m… so sorry, Kanroji-san… Iguro-san has… has passed away… we believe he passed away last night…” Aoi remarks gently
Mitsuri cries instantly and screams. She can’t hold back as she grabs onto Obanai’s arms and shakes him
She doesn’t want to believe he’s dead. He must be alive! He has to be!
Mitsuri shakes him until she has to stop, out of the extreme pain. Her heart shatters into pieces as she crumbles onto the floor and cries hysterically. She cries out his name, begging for the heavens to bring him back to her
The man of her dreams… has left her for good
Mitsuri never gets over this. Never. No matter how old she gets
She becomes semi-lifeless. Her smile is no longer genuine. Her eyes are almost grey. She becomes depressed
Obanai kept her smiling. Mitsuri doesn’t see any reason to pretend to be happy. She doesn’t care about her missing arm, she doesn’t care about the other Hashira
All she cares about is how she lost Obanai
Mitsuri eventually found and swiped Obanai’s repaired haori from Aoi and brought it with her to her hospital bed
She sleeps with it
And when she is released from the Butterfly Estate and returns to her Estate. She takes care of it like it has her beating heart in it
Mitsuri wears Obanai’s haori everywhere and every second of every day. Mitsuri never takes off Obanai’s haori for longer than changing. She’ll die wearing it
Mitsuri got Kaburamaru. She may struggle with separating Kaburamaru from Obanai but she still loves the serpent and keeps him with her as much as possible
Mitsuri visits Obanai’s grave everyday. She eats in front of it, she talks to it
She likes to pretend that she is still talking to Obanai. It’s her coping mechanism
Breaking her illusion will make her break down so don’t. Let her get it out of her system
It is so unhealthy but Mitsuri can’t bring herself to let Obanai go. She needs to feed her fantasies to keep herself from slipping further into depression
Mitsuri, however, is unaware of how Obanai is still with her. In spirit, laying his head on her shoulder as she forces out a laugh at her own joke
Mitsuri will definitely live the rest of her damaged life with no new love. Not a single man in Japan can compare to Obanai
She considers seppuku. At one point, she just wants to be in heaven with him. But Obanai talks her out of it
“Mitsuri! Put that down! Don’t hurt yourself! It’s not worth it! I know, I know you’re in pain. Please, stay alive… for me”
Can’t say Mitsuri becomes obsessed with Obanai after his death but she keeps basically all of his belongings and protects them with everything she has. His katana, his uniform, the keys to his estate, all trinkets of Kaburamaru’s, his favourite kimonos
Mitsuri even changes her last name to Iguro. It’s her way of dedicating herself to her one true love
Living in a fantasy where she married Obanai, despite the fact he is now above in heaven. Forced to wait for Mitsuri to come to him
But everybody can clearly see that Mitsuri’s sanity is chipping. She is losing herself in her depression, her grief, her regret
She is stuck between her fantasy and reality. She speaks outloud to Obanai’s grave when she is with it like it’s a person, but when literally anywhere else, she is relatively normal
Mitsuri still cries as hard when she reads the long letter Obanai wrote for her before he died. His battlefield confession replaying in her head as she keeps reading the most important parts. The parts that cements his love for her
All she wants is Obanai back
Changed the pic cause it was annoying
Well. Fuck. This is very depressing, Jesus and #firsteverpostpostedwithoutsavingittodraftfirst
