“N-Nothing, really

N-Nothing, really... I just... Um... Want to say... Thank you very much to all of you... For helping me... She whispered softly and then smiled at him.

No problem. I guess anyone would help you in your situation, so don't worry about it, Tanjirou replied with a smile before remembering something. Oh, by the way, Yurika-san. I don't know if this is important to you or not because I just saw it on the clothes you were wearing when I found you, he said before taking something from his pocket, And don't worry about your clothes; Nezuko already washed them, and they're neatly folded.

After saying that, Tanjirou gave her something, causing her eyes to widen and immediately sit up. Tanjirou gave her that 'thing,' and Yurika held it dearly, gazing at it in disbelief. And Tanjirou just stared at it, confused.

What is that, Yurika-san?

Oh, right... She frowned, remembering that he wouldn't recognize something like this.

A phone...

Well, I guess he doesn't really need to know. As long as I imply that's important to me, he should understand.

He's precious like that.

She gestured to her phone, hugged it close to her heart, and closed her eyes.

Something so... Important to me... She opened her eyes again to see if he got the message, and she was happy to see a bit of understanding in his bright red eyes.

I understand. And Tanjirou could only smile and nod.

***

After their conversation, Tanjirou left her to have some time for herself, and also because he had other things to do.

Yurika throw herself under her blanket again. Her body is still super sensitive to the cold, but that wasn't where her focus was. Her focus was currently on the small, cold device in her hands. Her phone was water proof so it's possible that it still worked. She just hope that it didn't break from being in such freezing temperatures for so long.

She held her breath and pressed the button.

Bright light shone into her eyes and she yanked the device away from her.

Yes, still works!She said happily as she tried to blink the spot away.

Turning down the screen brightness so none of the light can peek through the blanket, she check to see if she can get some sort of signal.
