3rd POV. Butterfly Estate.

After Sora argued with Kanae about him staying at the Ubuyashiki Estate, the Uchiha conceded as he doesn't want to be lectured by Kanae, to the point that it will become worse if Shinobu tags along and endlessly nag at him.

Sora immediately went to the room where Tanjiro is staying.

Tanjiro: Nii-san!? What's wrong? Did something happened?

Sora: Kinda.

Tanjiro: Uh......

Sora: Kanae saw me attempting to jump over the fence.....

Tanjiro: Nii-san.......

Tanjiro: You don't have to hide anymore from the Hashira......

Tanjiro: Although, you said you beat up Shinazugawa-san.....

Sora: He deserved it for hurting Nezuko, I won't forgive him.

Tanjiro: Right.

Tanjiro: But nii-san, everything is alright now. You don't have to be scared anymore.

Tanjiro: You don't have to sleep full of nightmares now.

Sora: I know.

Sora: I should thank you, as well.

Sora: If I haven't met you and Nezuko on that day.......

Sora: Maybe I wouldn't be able to embark on this journey of redemption.

Tanjiro: Mm.

Tanjiro: And I also have a better understanding of what you went through.

Tanjiro: If I was only strong enough to help you in any way I can—

Sora: Tanjiro, you're already strong.

Sora: For Nezuko, for moving forward as well. Even retaining your kindness......

Tanjiro: Nii-san, don't be too hard on yourself.

Tanjiro: You kept smiling, even though you're hurting inside.

Tanjiro: But that won't sit right with Nezuko and I.

Tanjiro: That is the reason why I wanted we always wanted to help you as much as we can.

Tanjiro: And the scent of kindness.....

Tanjiro: As clear as the blue sky......

Tanjiro: It never faded.

Sora: Thank you, Tanjiro.

Sora lay on the bed beside Tanjiro's bed......

Sora: I definitely need to rest up.

Sora: You too, Tanjiro.

Tanjiro: I do hope your prepared for the recovery training.
