Gokudera feels he should blame himself for what has happened. If he hadn't gone off on his own, he wouldn't have been alone, trapped in a hallway between zombies and... more zombies. He should have reached out to Takeshi sooner. They were both fine, could have found each other sooner if he'd stayed put. But he's never been one to be keen on waiting for other people, for depending on anyone other than himself.
And now he's sorry that Takeshi has to watch him, is with him while this is happening. Each time Gokudera had been left on his own, Takeshi simply vanished. No trace. If he were killed in fighting the zombies, or done something like this on his own, he'd hope for the other to not see him. True, it would be painful to not say goodbye, but Gokudera has never gotten the chance to do so.
Despite the pain roaring through him with like literal fire, he clings onto the words he hears. Even if he comes back and doesn't remember this feeling, so long as he comes back... that's all that matters. It's too hot to cry, too painful and sudden to make a noise, and the scene he leaves behind is even worse.
Gokudera's body is crumbling, little more than an ash left of his ribs when his head is taken, kissed, and his brain forces him to try and bite. He feels nothing, of course, and the severing draws a blank, confused expression to his face, eyes half open. Takeshi will find that all he can hold onto is literally the head of his boyfriend. Everything else save for his rings disintegrating, turning to ash.
And there's still some weight left to what is left of him. The flames are gone, but Gokudera's will had been to destroy the disease completely. Despite his zombie brain being destroyed, every bit of him is turning to ash. There is no more fire, or heat. Takeshi is grasping skin, fine hair, a face that once smiled at him, and it's all going gray and crumbling.
There is nothing left except his rings to his weapons, the collar in Takeshi's hand, and scorch marks on the couch. It may still be warm, but there is nothing else, no noise aside from the shuffling of zombies on the other side of the door, smelling and searching Takeshi out.
The rings are inactive, but the collar faintly glows, registering recognition at the swordsman's touch. Takeshi may be able to feel an electric current, as though it is searching for the chip that was destroyed in Gokudera's neck.
