To Protect Someone

S1 E5: Evading the homunculus Washio's attack, Kazuki and Tokiko fall back to form a plan. The two devise a series of high-speed attacks, but Washio's natural instinct and warrior experience sees through their plan. He slashes Tokiko, and Kazuki succeeds in delivering a single blow to Washio. But Tokiko is heavily wounded, and worse, the lodged homunculus has progressed up to her spinal cord. Kazuki fights on, and Washio feels a stubborn strength growing within the boy.
