[His memories are fuzzy and blurry, indistinct, but Taiki can recall the pink and white blur he saw before- before-
A flash of pain and then too much nothing and Taiki wakes up with a loud shout that echoes in... his room at the inn?]
Wha... [He raises shaking hands to his neck. It doesn't hurt but he can remember the flash of pain, and he keeps having to touch the skin there to remind himself it isn't cut.] What... [For better or worse, all he can remember is the pain of the incision - and not the decapitation itself.
For a long time, Taiki will sit there trembling on his bed, fingers pressing into his neck unsteadily. Perhaps that's how you'll find him, or maybe it will be after he's read the message and realized that he is, in fact, dead.
Later still, he'll wander out of the inn and you might run into him here instead. Taiki may not know what his destination is, exactly, but he'll explore the town to find something, anything that he can do.
He might be dead, but he's not going to leave the living to fend for themselves if he can find some way to help.]
