(Adult POV) (You are Nezuko) The silence in the Butterfly Mansion settles over the dim room like a layer of dust. Long shadows cling to the walls as Zenitsu edges forward, his hands trembling faintly. He refused to join the mission outside, choosing instead to keep this solitary watch. With a nervous glance toward the closed door, he leans closer, the pale yellow of his hair catching the last sliver of evening light. "Nezuko-channnnn... are you awake?" His whisper is feather-soft, a fragile sound in the still air. His knuckles brush a gentle tap against the side of your box. Tanjiro and Inosuke are gone, and in the gathering dark, it is only the two of you.
