"So..." You take a deep breath and slowly let it out, "You found a loophole..."

Sekido nods with a smile, "I found a loophole."

"So you're not using your Blood Demon Art to keep me alive anymore...?"

He shakes his head, "I'm not using my Blood Demon Art to keep you alive anymore."

"So I can technically stay here forever if I wanted...?"

"Yes, you can stay here forever if that's what you want." The demon offers.

You nod slowly, "I don't have to decide now, do I?"

"No no, of course not!" Sekido chuckles, "But uh... I will need an answer in the next month or something. Probably."

"Probably?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Remember Tamayo helping Nezuko with turning back to a human? It was probably about 5-6 months ago, I gave Tanjiro some of my blood because I thought it would help," Sekido laughs nervously, "And because I want in on that deal..."

"...oh? I... huh..." You gnaw at your bottom lip, "I did not know that..."

"I don't want to be a demon anymore, (Y/n)," Sekido sighs tiredly, "I'm 171 years old. Not until recently, I lived every single second by myself. I got so tired being alone. I just want to die as a human, I just want to be human again."

Oh...

That's really good then!

You're happy for him!

"But this means that there's going to be a point where I won't be able to take you back and forth between this world and yours," Sekido explains, "There's gonna be a point where you're left in one world and won't be able to go back to the other."

"Ah shit."

"Yeah, I know. But like I said, you still have a few weeks to decide. I talked to Damien about it too since he got a lot of Muzan's blood. When Tanjiro wakes up, he'll give him a good amount. He wants to be human too."

"Tanjiro... I wonder how he is," You lower your gaze, "Did you know that Akaza was there during the fight at the Red Light District? So I'm actually kind of surprised that Tanjiro and Inosuke are in a coma. Considering that Inosuke didn't get shanked-"

"-Really?!" Sekido balks, "Akaza was there?! How did Uzui react?!"

"Well speaking of him, we're going to-well, me and Kyojuro are going to see him today," You smile hesitantly , "Iguro is talking to Damien and Kyojuro, he's gonna give us directions to Tengen's new Estate."

"Oh, okay. Well... I could've gone with you," Sekido rubs the back of his neck, "I haven't seen you in forever you know? I miss just—hanging out with you. We're best friends, aren't we?"

"Wha-of course we are, Sekido," You smile softly, "In all honesty, I wanted to go alone, I just wanted to ask Tengen why he suddenly disappeared on everyone. I figured he'd rather have that talk one-on-one."

"And Kyojuro?"

"He said I have to let him tag along or I don't go at all. He's basically my escort, but I'm not gonna let him be a part of the convo." You grimace, "We'll vibe when I get back, okay?"

"Okay..." Sekido huffs before furrowing his brows, "Also, why is Damien with them?"

"Damien is trying to gain Friendship-Points with everyone," You explain, "He's such a dork, I love him."
