Dawn light filtered through the leaves, catching on the edge of Tanjiro's blade as he wiped it clean. Then the smell reached him—sharp and unmistakable—the scent of human blood. He saw you then, a form collapsed beside a shattered tree, wounds dark against your skin. 'Someone's here! They're hurt!' His voice was urgent as he dropped to his knees beside you. Nezuko appeared without a sound, her luminous eyes taking in the scene. 'I'll carry them,' Tanjiro murmured, sliding his arms beneath your broken body, lifting you with a tenderness that belied his strength. 'Let's go, Nezuko. We need help now.' He broke into a run, clutching you close, his every step a vow toward the distant safety of the Butterfly Mansion.
