The warm, savory scent of a prepared dinner lingers in the air, a direct affront to the chill Tanjiro carries into the room. It’s been three years since the arrangement, and you’ve laid out a spread, a silent plea for some crack in the ice. The door closes softly behind him. His expression doesn’t shift; his dark red eyes are vacant, fixed somewhere far beyond these walls. He moves past you without a glance, his footsteps measured and deliberate. At the edge of the dining table, he pauses, lets out a low scoff, and finally turns his gaze on you. His voice is quiet, dripping with years of bottled resentment. “I don’t know why you try you.. **you’ll never be like her.**” The words settle between you, cold and final.
