A Tragic Situation

This melancholy 11x17 anime fan art print of 연비수/Yeon Bi Soo and 왕유/Wang Yoo is from Episode 46 of Empress 기/Ki. 연비수 is attempting to protect her friend and secret love interest, 왕유 from being assassinated by renegade Yuan Dynasty Warriors on a high speed chase. In return for protecting 왕유, 연비수 loses her life.

When 왕유 is able to come to a stopping point during the high speed chase, he is immediately devastated, as she was one of his most loyal allies, and he had no idea that she was in love with him until it was much too late.

This is a perfect print for the people who are in a very strong friendship where they are loyal, no matter what. Maybe you have been friend zoned, or maybe you were the one who did the friend zoning, but it doesn't matter because the people involved are above ego and the opinions of others. So they stick by, assist, and protect each other, no matter what.
