Day 1 ~ 10:03 a.m.

Kyojuro was pacing anxiously in front of the hospital ward of the Butterfly Estate.

It wasn't his nature to get so worked up like this, but he couldn't help it. As depressing as it may sound, he's lost many people to demons.

Admittedly, Kyojuro did his best not to associate himself with others. It was the fear he'll get attached and when that person would leave, it'll only hurt more.

It was a mistake to take in six others into his home.

It was a mistake to approach you after the Pillar meeting.

It was a mistake to see your smile.

It was a mistake to hear your laugh.

It was a mistake to notice that you bite at your nails in deep thought.

It was a mistake to notice that you often try to hide your beautiful smile whenever you laugh.

It was a mistake to notice that your accent was just too cute whenever you spoke Japanese.

It was a mistake to think about asking for permission to court you once you got back from your mission.

It was a mistake to think about how much fun it was going to be to get to know you.

It was a mistake to think about how much you can change him into a better man.

It was a mistake to think about making you his bride one day.

Not... that he's ever actually entertained the idea or anything.

Why did you touch him the way you did before you left? Ruffling his hair lightly, then running your hand through his curly locks.

Unconsciously, Kyojuro had started to play with his hair the same way you had before you left, providing him with some type of comfort.

Why did you touch him as if he was the greatest thing?

Why did you have to get kidnapped by Akaza?

Why didn't you run when Sanemi told you to?

Why didn't you just listen?

Why did you have to get kidnapped?

Why?

Why?

Why?!

"Rengoku."

The blonde stops pacing and let his hands fall to his side.

Shinobu had finally come out of the hospital ward: "Shinazugawa is okay, you can speak with him now."

Not too long after Sanemi and Sekido passed out cold, a few Kakushi had arrived at the scene. They treated Sanemi since Sekido had fully healed by then. They put the tiny Sekido back in his box, and saw your backpack there as well. They actually used some of your supplies from your bag to clean up Sanemi's wounds.

After that, they rushed back to the Butterfly Estate. Sekido went to the Pillar meeting in Sanemi's steed since the Wind Pillar was still unconscious by the time it was held that night.

Sanemi received an immediate report to the town. When he arrived, there were six Demon Slayers who were murdered. They were missing before, that's why Sanemi was there as a Pillar. But they had shown up right when Sanemi showed up.
