Let Her Go

Anime illustration. In an ordinary living room with a lamp on and family photographs on the wall, a man holds a rifle of golden light level, mouth open mid-sentence. From the muzzle the words LET HER GO cross the room and pass through a many-handed shadow clamped around a young woman’s head, blowing it apart into ash. She stands upright and unhurt, eyes opening, lit warm.

The shot hits the thing on the person, never the person. She is standing there unhurt with it coming off her. That distinction is the whole ethic of the series.
