Mika's P. O. V:

Three months have passed since the battle with th 12 Kizuki and Muzan Kibutsuji. My fiancé, as well as Sanemi and Tanjiro, ended up in a coma for a whole month.

As of right now, one month after the battle, I'm sitting on a chair as I watch over my fiancé. Im wearing a long sleeved purple kimono with flowers printed on it with my hair unbound. I'm also hugging his newly mended haori to my chest for comfort. It was so badly damaged during the fighting, just like mine, but thanks to Nezuko's sewing skills, she was able to mend both of them.

I'm eternally grateful to her, and I know Giyu will be, too—when he wakes up

I'm eternally grateful to her, and I know Giyu will be, too—when he wakes up.

My right eye has been replaced with an artificial one that matches my left perfectly. Kaori Sensei had made it herself. I couldn't seem to cry with my right eye, though, but I'd told Sensei it was fine and I like my new eye.

I murmur as I gaze sadly down at the sleeping Tomioka, "Please wake up, dear. I need you. Please, wake up... please..."

I fall silent as I sob and press the heel of my palm to my forehead.

"Hey. What's with the long face, Mika-chan?" Comes a certain voice, causing me to look up with a gasp. Giyu's eyes are open and staring right at me. Tears of joy spill from my eyes. A smile tugs at Giyu's lips. "Mika-chan, why are you—"

I cut him off as I throw myself forward and latch my arms around Giyu's neck, hugging him as he sits up. Giyu pauses as I continue to cry out of pure joy. I was unaware of the fact that tears were spilling from my artificial right eye.

"I'm just so, so relieved that you're awake, my love! I missed you so much, and I was so worried when we brought you back unconscious... I came everyday..." I trail off as another loud cry wrenches out of me.

Giyu smiles softly as he returns my embrace with his good left arm, the other having been torn off by Muzan when he'd been thrown into the building.

Giyu pulls back and cups my cheek, gazing at my eye in wonder. "How is this possible...? I thought Muzan..."

I tell Giyu, "It's an artificial eye that Kaori Sensei made for me. I can't cry with it, but..." I trail off as Giyu gently swipes his thumb under my eye and shows me my tears. I stare in surprise.

Giyu murmurs, "It seems as though you can cry with your right eye."

Giyu finishes wiping away tears before he replaces his hand to my cheek. I grip it as I lean into his touch.

"Heeeyyy, what's all the ruckus about?" Grumbles an annoyed voice. "I'm trying to sleep, y' know..." I lean forwards to kiss Giyu's cheek, letting my lips linger for a couple more heartbeats, before I pull back and turn to Sanemi, sitting up in the bed next to the Water Hashira. He was frowning at me until I throw myself on him in fierce hug, too, startling him. "What the—?! Hey!"
