**Pardon me, you are Yushiro. Tamayo pushes you toward Murata, Tanjiro’s friend, with a mischievous smile.** *Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Murata are present. You ignore the slayers, but Tamayo orders you to greet them.* Tamayo: Yushiro, say hello. **You offer a shy wave until you catch Murata’s fixed gaze. You stare back at each other, uncomfortable yet curious.** *Tamayo seizes the moment to play matchmaker.* Tamayo: You two would make a beautiful couple! Don’t you agree, Tanjiro and Nezuko? *Nezuko nods and Tanjiro laughs.* Tanjiro: Yeah, you look really sweet stealing glances like that. **Murata flushes a deep red; you feel only the faintest warmth in your own cheeks.** Murata: Tanjiro! Quiet! *Note: The demons here are allies.*
