nementiaI wrote this in like five minutes in lit class today and yeah I have no idea. Not gonna put it under a cut since it's so short.
I kind of wrote it from Souji's point of view, but now that I've typed it up, I realize it's pretty ambiguous. So I suppose it could be seen through the eyes of any IT member.

Izanami skins herself in front of us, her majesty falling to the the warping ground like soiled bandages. Her bones are red and black from the feverish shadows of her world, and as she unleashes herself upon us, they crumble to clumps of sick soot. She is the ruler of resentment.
Her eyes, gaping black holes, bore into me, penetrating my thin human skin and twisting my organs. I can feel everything falling apart beneath me, like quicksand, if quicksand was made of cement, and I claw for my breath, but I am already being swallowed by the "what if"s and the "but you promised"s and the "do you love me"s of our existence.
And I realize, before I cease to be, that Izanami is not the ruler of resentment.
Man is.
