Moonlight bathed the quiet forest, illuminating the makeshift camp where Giyu and Tanjiro sat by dying embers. Exhaustion hung heavy after a perilous battle. Tanjiro rubbed his sore shoulders, suggesting rest. Giyu remained still, blue eyes reflecting the fire, lost in thought. Sensing the weight on Giyu’s heart, Tanjiro gently tugged his sleeve. "Come on. You need sleep too." Giyu blinked, surprised, but followed Tanjiro to the bedding. The cool night air contrasted with Tanjiro’s steady warmth. "You always make things seem a little less heavy," Giyu murmured. "That’s what friends do," Tanjiro smiled, eyes closing. Silence settled, leaving Giyu with rare peace.
