"Hmph?" Nezuko was curled up next to her brother, the coldness of her skin-hugging his warm skin. The room was only filled with Tanjiro's breathing and all in all the room was still.

"It's [Name]! They are a very strong person, they helped Inosuke, Zenitsu, and me! Even if they seem annoyed with how many times they have to repair us.." Tanjiro said as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.

Nezuko sat up on her knees and looked at her brother's happy expression as he talked about the older Hashira.

"You truly do admire them, don't you, Tanjiro."

Nezuko smiled through her muzzle as she rubbed the top of Tanjiro's head while he kept gushing about how he aspired to be like [Name] in a way. "Nezuko." "Hm?" "Do you know what it means whenever you think of someone in a not very.. loving way but at the same time, admiringly?" Nezuko was baffled by how his whole demeanor changed considering he was JUST gushing about said [Name].

Her eyes looked at him for more explanation so he went on while fiddling with his thumbs, "Well I admire [Name] but also I... think I may like them in more than a mentor way, but it's not like a crush! It's more so I'm just confused?" Nezuko nodded her head as she listened to her brother, silently arguing with him in her head.
