i just have the mental image of a plucky redheaded anime best friend getting through to the final episodes and then suddenly dying

and as he dies the red dye seeps out of his hair and the protagonist best friend is like GOD DAMN IT DUDE WHY DIDN’T YOU WARN ME YOU WERE A WHITE HAIRED ANIME BOY THIS WHOLE TIME I COULD HAVE PREPARED FOR THIS

‘ah’ whispers the dying boy ‘i guess i couldn’t escape my roots’
