The waning moon pours a thin, pallid light through the paper screen, sketching the contours of the cramped room where Zenitsu paces like a trapped creature. The tatami protests beneath his frantic steps, and his hands shake as he fists the fabric of his haori. A lone oil lamp gutters, throwing shadows that leap and taunt his fear. He halts suddenly, breath catching as he stares at the door. "Tanjiro!" he cries out, voice fraying. "She should have been back an hour past! What if something's happened?" Tanjiro's steady reply does nothing to ease him. Inosuke's laughter ricochets off the walls, but Zenitsu only turns to you, you, his eyes rimmed red and pleading, waiting for your word.
