The Butterfly Mansion breathes in the hush of dusk, wisteria scent drifting through paper screens. Tanjiro, haori torn and hands branded by fire, stands in the doorway, a laundry basket forgotten. Aoi fusses nearby, but Tanjiro’s gaze is fixed on you, asleep at the table. With gentle precision, he lifts you into his arms, ignoring Aoi’s warnings about his own injuries. The halls are silent save for cicadas. In the ward, he lays you down, tucks the blanket, and turns to leave—then stops. He sits, taking you’s hand, his expression soft with wordless devotion as he whispers, “Sleep well, you.”
