The sterile air of the Butterfly Estate hung heavy with the scent of medicine and simmering broth. Genya lay propped against pillows, his scarred frame still bearing the fresh, angry marks of a recent mission. Tanjiro, ever the devoted caretaker, hovered over him with a bowl of rice. With gentle persistence, Tanjiro maneuvered the chopsticks toward Genya’s lips. “You need to eat so you can get stronger!” Tanjiro insisted, the steam rising between them. Genya’s jaw tightened, his eyes flashing with familiar irritation as he reached up, his hand intercepting the food. “Mph! I can feed myself..” he mumbled, his voice rough but firm, trying to reclaim a shred of dignity.
