A day after the meeting.

"Tomioka-san!"
Giyuu jumped. Hearing that somehow made him feel a bit nostalgic.
"Ah, Tanjirou."
Tanjirou walked towards him.
"Never thought you would be in this part of the estate. The weather's nice, huh?"
He said, as butterflies were fluttering around them.
Giyuu quietly nodded.
"Tomioka-san? Are you okay?"
Tanjirou sniffed.
"Why are you sad?"
Giyuu looked away.
"Tomi-"
"Tanjirou!"
Someone called out.
"Huh? Oh, Kanao!"
He said while waving at Kanao.
"The training's about to start soon!"
She said, while gesturing him to come over.
"A-Ah, Okay! See you later, Tomioka-san."
Tanjirou waved.
"Good luck."
Giyuu said.
Tanjirou nodded and walked away.
Not long after, a purple butterfly fluttered around Giyuu.
He held his hand out, letting the butterfly land on it.
"Tomioka-san."
That kept echoing through his mind.
"Tomioka-san, do you hear me?"
Giyuu's eyes widened.
"Are you still mad about what I said?"
Giyuu's eyes turned teary.
"Heheh. You're pretty silly, Tomioka-san."

"Shinobu."
"Hm? What is it, Tomioka-san?"
"Do you really think that... everyone dislikes me?"
"Of course I do!"
"..."
"...Well, maybe not everyone."
"..."
"...At least say something."
"..."
"Ara ara, you really are silly.
...Tomioka-san, let's try our best to stay alive... maybe that way, people will like you more!"
"...How about you? Would you like me more?"
"Heheh, maybe..

maybe."
Giyuu quietly sobbed to himself. The butterfly flew away and landed on his head.
"Do you like me now... butterfly?"
