Abilities
Apart from functioning as a bladed weapon, Crimson Tears have the ability to steal and store the life-force of targets cut by it, and give it in turn to the wielder, allowing them to recover and heal injuries in the middle of battle.

While it is extremely rare and hard, in the given case that the Sacred Gear is broken, it has the ability to repair itself over time.
