[In all the one hundred years Rika has spent dying, she can't remember anyone ever doing it mercifully. So to be held close and with comfort as the end comes is a welcome change.
Her body seizes up when the knife pierces her heart, her hand clutching Edelgard's back as she convulses, but there's little strength to it given how efficient the death blow is.
It's also a welcome change to not to feel overwhelmed with despair at dying once again. As the strength leaves her body and her hand falls limp, Rika can't help but smile as if drifting off into a peaceful sleep. Edelgard is so warm...maybe it'd have been nice, to be born in a world where they met as far more adjusted people?
...well, not that she'll ever know if that's possible.
